Stop hiring Non-Indigenous folks for Indigenous specific projects.

@agentladya @SaskParty Not an excuse, just facts. But it clearly doesn’t suit your narrative, so carry on.

@agentladya @SaskParty All of which is linked directly to the impacts of residential schools and their legacies.

Still waiting . . .

Where are all the FN governments, Chiefs, and leadership statements opposing what’s happening in Alberta?

Two-Spirit people and our existence transcend these governments and anti-trans/2S policies.

Y’all are real quiet, and the youth are watching…

Reconciliation doesn’t look like taking away rights from Two-Spirit (2S) and Indigenous 2SLGBTQQIA+ people with your new anti-trans policies and proposed legislation.

These Indigenous leaders should be speaking up about what she’s doing.

Our province has so much to offer — our resources and economic growth, and our innovative ways of working with Indigenous communities towards reconciliation and shared prosperity.

Today, we launched our Alberta-Ottawa office that will give us the base of operations we need to advance Alberta’s priorities on the ground in our nation’s capital.

The office will strengthen our relationships with partners on Parliament Hill, and in other parts of Canada and will help us stay informed on emerging decisions that impact Alberta.

In light of the LGBTQ+ policies announced here's my Dec. 15 explainer where I broke down why youths are choosing encampments over shelters. Additionally, how youths who identify as LGBTQ+ have ended up homeless due to lack of support from family members.

Government mandated health restrictions! Where are all the truckers now?

Oh right, it’s okay as long as it’s restricting 2S and Trans autonomy.

To my trans 🏳️‍⚧️, gender diverse, 2 spirit 🌈 patients/families - I will continue to provide gender affirming care on-reserve, on our Treaty Territory where the Province has ZERO jurisdiction to infringe on our sovereignty. This is a violation of our Treaty Right to Health and /1

[Hon. Thomas A. Lukaszuk @LukaszukAB]

.@ABDanielleSmith is spreading misinformation to her base.

In Alberta, minors cannot receive any gender-altering medical treatments without parental consent.

Now, she makes treatments unavailable even though there is parental consent.

How’s that for parental control?

2S youth specifically have rights that transcend ALL of these bullshit policies.

[Prestin Thōtin-awāsis @Prestomanifest0]

The way Alberta and Saskatchewan leaders are weaponizing and politicizing 2SLGBTQ+ rights is disgusting.

Pronouns, 2S and trans healthcare, outing kids, the list goes on…

Fix the archaic healthcare systems and leave 2SLGBTQ+ people alone.

Im so angry.
Im so tired.

[Prestin Thōtin-awāsis @Prestomanifest0]

These actions will only further increase the already high rates of 2SLGBTQ+ homelessness, Suicide, and addictions.

[Prestin Thōtin-awāsis @Prestomanifest0]

What’s more concerning is people like this are invited to speak in our communities at youth conferences.

[Prestin Thōtin-awāsis @Prestomanifest0]

You sat in a two spirit presentation I facilitated with one of your friends at a QBOW event in Saskatoon last year. Many Indigenous youth are feeling the impacts of this policy in Saskatchewan right NOW. I’m saddened to see your ignorant and uninformed comments.
