I made the biggest political donation of my life after this policy was announced - and sent a screenshot to my (barely elected) UCP MLA letting him know. There’s a lot to hate the UCP for, but this one really takes the cake.

      Absolutely - their recent ‘Parental Rights’ Bill eliminated the ability of parents of Trans or questioning kids to get puberty blockers (which have long been given for numerous other conditions such as precocious puberty without issue) or any other form of gender affirming care.

      If I had a kid struggling with their gender identity, I’d be forced to leave the province if I wanted to get evidence based care for my kid - even evidence based care with limited ramifications regardless of how they end up identifying.
