What if, just hypothetically, politicians tackled our cost of living crisis or the fact that some First Nations still don't have safe water, rather than obsessing over children's bathrooms.

I should be clear — I'm very lucky! I make a good salary. I'm not worried about becoming unhoused! But if I'm having this much trouble, I can't even imagine how newcomers, or big families, or low-income people are navigating the market. It's unsustainable.

Hey, anyone know who the editor was who published this garbage? It's textbook homophobia and bi-erasure out of 1980. Unsure why the author seems unable to comprehend that bi people sometimes have relationships with the opposite gender too. Literally what the word bi means.

Follow-up Q: There's a pattern of mocking public health experts who issue warnings, then later implement a response. Why is your gov't incapable of learning these lessons? Kenney says province has always treated restrictions as a last resort, says gov't has aimed for a balance.

When I was receiving harassment/threats from white supremacists, them intimidating (or doing worse to) my loved ones was my greatest fear. Blown away by the idiotic both-sideism of @CTVLondon here. Also, they neglect to mention this guy was previously charged with sexual assault!

UhhhHH. THIS is the headline CTV went with?? He threatens to “visit” the rest of her family, insults her appearance and threatens to use his wealth and resources against her. She had *just* called him out for his anti-LGBTQ organizing. But maybe he had “good intentions”?? 🤦‍♀️

If you're a journalist in Alberta who covers politics and you haven't dug into Kenneyism, you're not doing your job. I've just started reading and it's an important look at this time in our province's history.

I was in first grade when the last residential schools closed. Which means millennials were sent to residential schools as kids. This isn't some ancient history thing; it's most of our history, and extremely recent past.

Many of the insufferable, chest-pumping Canada Day articles this week briefly referred to residential schooling as a “dark chapter,” an unfortunate blip; this kind of minimization must stop! The IRS system ran from 1883 to 1997. That’s 114 years!

First Q. Will there be accountability, resignations, a public inquiry for the disastrous miscalculation of treating the pandemic as endemic? Kenney says the focus is not on politics, the focus is on results to address the crisis. There will be time later to look back.
