Wherein Smith posts a pic of the headline, not the article. "favours aligning with Sweden and Finland’s approach, where puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones are reserved for children and teens with a history of gender dysphoria that started in early childhood and has persisted for many years."

This is a meme circulating among the Alberta separatists. This is not about equalization or pipelines. It is a desire to create some sort of (dis)utopia based on conspiracy theories.

FWIW, the notwithstanding clause says that legislatures are empowered to breach certain rights and freedoms. Not premiers. Time allocation removes the ability of MLAs to fulfill their constitutional responsibility to Albertans. Perhaps that's the point.
33. (1) Parliament or the legislature of a province may expressly declare in an Act of Parliament or of the legislature, as the case may be, that the Act or a provision thereof shall operate notwithstanding a provision included in section 2 or sections 7 to 15 of this Charter.

While Canadian men and women were serving overseas during the First World War, teenagers were doing their part in Canada. They were working on farms to ensure food was produced for the war effort. This is the story of the Soldiers of the Soil and the Farmerettes. 🧵 1/10
This black-and-white historical photograph captures a scene of agricultural labor in an open field, likely related to Canada's Soldiers of the Soil program during World War I. A young boy or teenager, dressed in overalls and a hat, sits atop a horse-drawn cultivator or plow, guiding it through the soil. The implement is pulled by a team of four sturdy draft horses harnessed in pairs, with the blades or tillers actively turning the earth behind them. The vast, flat prairie landscape stretches to the horizon, dotted with sparse grass and a few distant structures, possibly farm buildings, under a clear sky. The image emphasizes manual, animal-powered farming efforts typical of wartime food production initiatives.

Isapo-muxika (Crowfoot) led his people, the Siksika, through a turbulent and changing time. One of the most important Indigenous leaders of the 19th century, he was respected by everyone he knew. He is remembered today as a great leader, and this is his story. 🧵1/12
The black-and-white photo depicts Crowfoot. He has long, dark hair tied back with a small topknot. His attire includes a dark jacket with light-colored cuffs, a vest, and a large bow tie. A chain with a rectangular pendant hangs around his neck. The background is plain and slightly blurred, typical of older portrait photography. The overall style suggests the photo is from the late 19th century.
