We wrapped up the BC leg of the Trans Canada Tour on Saturday, after tour stops in Kelowna, Kamloops and Vancouver. After BC, I hopped on a plane and headed back east to celebrate Pride in Moncton, NB, where I was honored to speak at and lead their trans march (despite pouring rain!).

I'm doing pretty good at this whole ~growing up~ thing. Turned 31 a couple days ago and excited for what the next year has in store for little old me ✨️

If we had let Amy Hamm into our event, she would have taken our words out of context and used them to further malign the trans movement. At least this way, we were able to have a real convo with people genuinely interest in discussion. We had a great event.

Carney has been silent as Alberta attacks trans youth. Parents and advocates have a plan to change that

Listen now | Carney has been incredibly cozy with Alberta Premier Danielle Smith. Just today, he joked alongside Smith that the premier has “seen more of me than her husband.”

I am tired of so-called ally politicians doing the least they can on queer issues and wanting a big thank you because of it.

We must not stop speaking up for trans youth and their families in Alberta. Join us in calling on the House of Commons to conduct an inquiry into Premier Smith's suspension of charter-protected rights: QueerMomentum.ca/inquiry

A Reunion with Fae Johnstone – June 22, 2026 It was lovely to catch up with @faejohnstone.bsky.social of @queermomentum.ca and Wisdom2Action at the Capitol Bar in @cityofhamilton.bsky.social in advance of the Pride Hamilton event at Oxigin tomorrow evening featuring - *continued in the comments

I love queer people and I love PEI Pride <3

I truly thought and hoped that, when the attack on transgender rights began in Canada, we would see a real growth in financial support for trans advocacy. That hasn't happened. And idk how to put in words how sad and worried that makes me.

My greatest irrational loathing is reserved for people who are slow at getting off planes for no good reason.

This is why no one wants to be a gay conservative

It's going to get worse before it gets better.

It's Pride month, and Statistics Canada just found support for trans rights in our country is declining. It sucks. It means the right-wing disinformation campaign is winning. So let's talk about what lies you're being told -- and what we can do about it (with help from @faejohnstone.bsky.social):
