Finland tracked every gender-referred adolescent in the country for up to 25 years.
Their psychiatric needs didn't improve after 'gender reassignment'. They surged.
A landmark peer-reviewed study just dropped. Here's what it found. 🧵
"The bill did not go through the processes we’ve agreed to in terms of co-drafting with them (Indigenous leaders)," Eby conceded.
British Columbians elect MLAs to draft and pass legislation. Not "co-draft" our laws.
What a mess. Solutions: Repeal DRIPA and the Interpretation Act. Protect private property rights. And vote out the NDP.

@TheReclamare Yet the Canadian government needs to pay to put in roads and clean water? Why can't the bands take care of this themselves with these car l cash reserves. It is incomprehensible
@rparmar_BC It is your government that destroyed the forestry sector. It is a bit rich that you now claim to be there for them and the workers that you abandoned a long time ago.
@rparmar_BC This is incredible coming from the minister in charge of an industry that had been utterly destroyed by your government. Your government has also caused the economic destruction of BC through failed policy and ideological virtue signaling. You need to reassess your viewpoint
I’m sorry. If you don’t get paid vacation from work, you live in a third world country.
If you don’t get basic healthcare free, you live in a third world country.
If you don’t get paid maternity and paternity leave, if you don’t get paid from work and the government when you’re off sick, then you live in a third world country.
If your government doesn’t force employers to give you a contract after a trial period so your employer has certain rights to uphold when it comes to loyalty back to you as a worker, so you feel safe and secure when you work hard, then you live in a third world country.
These are the very basics we come to expect In Europe and The U.K. This is the very least we will accept.
This year I have 52 paid vacation days off from work. This would not include paid sick days, time for doctor’s appointments or paid time off for looking after my child or taking them to the doctors. Some employees like mine pay a little extra for working from home, for electric, for internet and aditional money for food for when I work. We have very good free education. Americans travel to Europe just for the free universities to study without drowning in debt whilst living in the most beautiful cities. These universities that for some subjects are the best in the world.
It is physically illegal for my employer to contact me on my day off or outside of my contracted working hours.
Some of these things which can vary country to country in Europe are the very basics of what we expect living in a European country. The very minimum.
Yet we get told by MAGA that we live wrong, and we should change our values, and that America represents freedom. And we should follow what this government administration wants.
What is it to be free? Just to be allowed to have guns? To protect what? To protect yourself from your government?
The truth is sadly, that there is no Freedom in America. I say these things above so Americans know what you should demand from your leaders, because none of the above is taught to you.
Now this is the Truth you need to hear:
For education America is 13th in reading, 18th in science, 37th in math among 79 countries.
College debt is over $1.7 trillion and average borrower owes $30,000+.
America has the highest incarceration rate in the world….
You have around 25% of the whole world’s prisoners, but only 4% of the global population….
Over 2 million people currently incarcerated in the U.S.
You have the most expensive healthcare system globally, yet it ranks #30 in overall health care.
U.S. has higher infant mortality and lower life expectancy than many developed nations by far.
1 in 7 American children live in poverty. Roughly 11 million children
90% of your wealth is with 1% of people.
America has over 40,000 gun-related deaths annually.
And even for tech… The U.S. ranks 13th–20th in internet speed globally.
Why would they tell you what you are missing?
Why would they tell you what you should demand and expect as tax paying citizens…
Seek Freedom, Seek Real Freedom. Not the Freedom They Sold You.
The one they sold to you wasn’t free.
@katiederosayyj I mean it is the bed she chose when she crossed to the BC Cons and she has to lay in it. I am surprised she is surprised by this. Their members expressed similar views before she joined them so this really should not come as a surprise.
French President @EmmanuelMacron corrects President Trump.
Trump: "Europe is loaning the money to Ukraine. They get their money back."
Macron: "No, in fact. To be frank we paid. We paid 60% of the total effort."
Now every question or statement a Conservative makes in the house, from @JohnRustad4BC to any other critics, will be met by a retort from an NDP minister that the Conservative side supports Trump.
Which is an inexplicable own goal strategic error by the Cons, but... here we are.
NEW - 5 @BCConservCaucus MLAs have voted against a @bcndp motion in #bcleg to condemn US President Donald Trump's proposed tariffs, and support BC response to target Republican states.
Move was a political trap and 5 people fell for it:
Tara Armstrong, Heather Maahs, Brent Chapman, Dallas Brodie and Jordan Kealy
NDP will now launch a social media campaign saying BC Cons support Trump, while also saying leader @JohnRustad4BC can't control his own caucus.
Rest of Conservative caucus voted to support motion.
The third anniversary of the beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion. Three years of absolute heroism by our people.
Eternal memory to all who stood up in defense of our state and our people, giving their lives so that Ukraine may live.
Eternal gratitude to the fallen heroes—the gratitude of Ukraine, the gratitude of all free nations.

‼️ For the first time, Zelensky revealed details of the financial aid agreement from the United States
"If the United States, our friendly partners, vote in Congress to give us $50 billion in aid, we are obliged to return $100 billion.
I have a question that no one can honestly answer for me. When the United States sells arms to Israel, Qatar, the Emirates, Saudi Arabia, do they ask them for a 100% surcharge? I'm not signing something that 10 generations of Ukrainians are going to pay later."
