This is good advertising. And it's correct: she can vote for or against legislation as she sees fit. It's difficult to find the $ to run as an independent. Pierre isn't from there but has all the party support + the former MP helping him. How is that right for that riding? Give her a boost, AB.

I like her already 🥰 #BattleRiver-Crowfoot @bonniecritchley.bsky.social

Hey Canada, please join me in supporting Bonnie Critchley running as an Independent against Pierre Poilievre. He campaigned on hate and lost the election as leader and his own riding, She believes in human rights. Enough said. www.BonnieCritchleyIndependent.com @bonniecritchley.bsky.social

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on. slate.com/technology/2...

www.nature.com/articles/s41... Research on #Longcovid which has sadly been ignored by our government, there is a section on socioeconomic impacts. There were predictions of billions lost in GDP? Why is the Public being penalised for inaction on #COVID? @teamlabouruk.bsky.social 🧵

This is incredible news that will save lives. Thank you @egalecanada.bsky.social and @skippingstone.ca and the five plaintiff families for taking this on. Thank you.

Hate is still a reality today. Whether you’re talking to a friend, a colleague, or a family member, get the tools to have meaningful conversations that can help change the narrative around anti-2SLGBTQI hate. Get started at egale.ca/hateisnthistory

1/ Everyone deserves to live in safety and dignity – no matter who they are or where they are. Egale Canada strongly opposes the Quebec government’s decision to incarcerate transgender people based on their sex assigned at birth.

Hate isn’t history. It’s happening. But together, we can do something about it. By learning how to spot and combat misinformation. By getting tools to stay safe. By standing together in solidarity at Pride.

Hate isn’t history. It’s happening. But together, we can do something about it. It’s important today more than ever that we stand together in solidarity with 2SLGBTQI communities during Pride Season and beyond - because everyone deserves a future free from hate.   Visit egale.ca/hateisnthistory

Transphobia is not a touchy topic if you're not transphobic 📣 - The rights and freedoms of our 2SLGBTQI community deserve to be protected and celebrated.

Egale & Skipping Stone are thrilled the Court of King’s Bench of Alberta has granted our injunction to block the Alberta government's ban on gender-affirming care for gender diverse youth. Read more: egale.ca/egale-in-act...

Trump is changing direction on Canada again. The Digital Services Tax is critical to the protection of Canadian news media. Without our media, we are left naked to US digital news disinformation, including Elon Musk's far right X influence. This is a tech oligarch move against Canada's sovereignty.

Spot on. This is the clearest explanation I’ve seen. It ‘s relatable, and humanizes the issue in a way everyone can understand.

Powerful excerpt: “Intentionally or not, the Ban will signal that there is something wrong with or suspect about having a gender identity that is different than the sex you were assigned at birth. Gender diverse youth will bear the entire burden of that speculation. 1/3

A patient at UC San Diego received a letter threatening to have their care discontinued if they continued to request staff wear N95s. The letter calls this behaviour “disruptive” Covid isn’t over. An N95 is one of the best ways to protect yourself. It’s not disruptive to fight for your health.

BREAKING NEWS. Alberta Court of King’s Bench grants injunction preventing Alberta Government from banning gender-affirmative care for minors citing “irreparable harm will be caused if the Ban comes into force.” A victory for human rights and trans youth! 🏳️‍⚧️

Hey Alberta! Heads up! Rising COVID hospitalizations in Alberta. Although gov't is no longer publicly reporting hospital outbreaks (last report April 16, 2025), there are now 4 hospitals on outbreak. Rockyview, Royal Alex, Leduc, and Miseracordia. Haven't this many outbreaks in a long time. 1/

The United States is a nation beyond the rule of law. People are being kidnapped on the streets by men in masks. They are being disappeared and deported to foreign concentration camps. A Canadian died in their hands. We must demand full access and independent investigation of his mistreatment.

Advice to incoming interns:

If Covid was truly societally normalised now - 'just another respiratory virus', to use the common phrase - people wouldn't avoid using the word 'Covid'. The fact the word 'Covid' is taboo in many circles speaks volumes about just how much the disease has *not* been normalised.

It’s almost July. A Covid outbreak in a Cardiac unit is terrible because people are there because they have heart issues, and Covid seriously damages the heart. If we continue to do nothing the damage will continue.#GetLoud #Covid #MaskUp #LongCovid #LongCovidKids www.ctvnews.ca/northern-ont...

If you’re needing a little bump in your pride joy, here’s on of that chalk mural I did at the @calgarytransit.bsky.social @ucalgary.bsky.social University train station a little while ago. :D 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

A friend asked what happens to the world if the war expands? And a friend asked what happens to the world if the strait gets blocked? And a friend asked what happens to the world if a nuke is used? Please, friends, ask: what happens to the world if we take care of each other?

Thank you @kathleenpetty.bsky.social for hosting a critical episode of Alberta at Noon today about the expanding measles outbreak in Alberta. I was delighted to take part. (I’m at 15:59, but the whole hour was great.) Alberta at Noon: Are you worried about the measles? www.cbc.ca/listen/live-...

Hey America, Probably the first big cultural thing from Newfoundland you remember was @comefromaway.bsky.social www.netflix.com/ca/title/819... (The first huge one was Madame Toulinquet en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgin... ) Now, Son of a Critch is coming your way!! www.netflix.com/ca/title/819...

I just learned that last year, the Government of Canada stopped funding at-home #HIV testing. This is bonkers. Its own evaluation showed it was a great program, detecting more cases, getting people the care they needed. ANYONE who thinks they have a need to test for HIV should be able to 1/

Everyone needs to look at this comic. Just keep looking through the panes. 24-25 in all.

This is a great outcome!!

An exciting legal precedent was just set in BC 🎉 The BC Human Rights Tribunal decision found for the first time in Canada that the failure to allow for remote work for an immunocompromised employee was discrimination on the ground of disability www.hcamag.com/ca/specializ...
