1/n: I could be wrong, of course, but my take about this hantavirus outbreak is less about the actual outbreak and more about what it means in the context of the last two decades and moving forward. Let me explain...

Annie Farmer was 16 when she reported being sexually abused by Epstein at Zorro Ranch in 1996. The U.S. Attorney who should have investigated never opened a case.

Newly unearthed federal documents reveal why: he was Epstein’s own Power of Attorney for the ranch purchase.

Today is Trans Day of Visibility.

Trans, non-binary, and gender-nonconforming people have always been here — from the hijra of India to the Diné nádleehi to the leaders who built the modern LGBTQIA+ movement here in New York.

Your existence is not up for debate. Your lives are not a political issue.

We’re fighting for a city where every trans New Yorker can live openly, safely, and with joy.

@JMeddings I have booked three Covid shot appointments at shoppers drug mart and they have cancelled three times due to lack of vaccine received from the UCP government. 🤬

If I didn’t have Medicaid and SNAP as a child—and a community that gave a shit about four little kids and their struggling mom—I wouldn’t be here today.

This is why elections matter. Virginia, the stakes couldn’t be higher to get out and vote for Democrats tomorrow.

The Notwithstanding Clause – Meant for Balance, used for Control

The notwithstanding clause was added to Canada’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms in 1982 as a narrow safeguard, not a political weapon. It was meant for rare, exceptional cases - when a court ruling unintentionally overreached and threatened the democratic will of the people.

With Bill 2, the “Back to Work” legislation, this Wildrose government crossed that line. This isn’t about provincial jurisdiction - it’s about using state power to override individual rights whenever they get in the way of political objectives.

By invoking the clause to force teachers back to work, the government chose control over collaboration.

Teachers deserve respect and dialogue, not coercion. They’ve carried Alberta’s classrooms through overcrowding, complexity, and years of under-resourcing. Forcing compliance isn’t leadership - it’s constitutional abuse.

True conservatives value restraint, accountability, and freedom. The Charter ensures no government can strip away basic rights without scrutiny.

By normalizing the notwithstanding clause as a political tool, this Wildrose government weakens protections that belong to every Albertan - not just today, but for generations.

Strong leaders listen before legislating.

Albertans want solutions - not scapegoats.
