More than 1,000 Calgarians showed up at city hall Saturday to protest against the United Conservative government.
Victoria Bucholtz, an organizer with Momentum Canada, Trans Action Alberta and Queer Citizens United, told CBC News the protest Saturday was not just about fighting against those bills and supporting trans rights in Alberta. "Return social transition to those trans kids who, as they're coming out, may come out to a teacher before they come out to a parent, or vice versa," she said. "Let that process develop naturally instead of including government provisions in that."She said there has been massive support from groups including the United Nurses of Alberta, Friends of Medicare, the Alberta Teachers Association and the Canadian Union of Public Employees Alberta, among others.
Referring to Smith's comments during a news conference on Thursday, where the premier tied the actions of doctors to the current opioid crisis, Bucholtz said Smith was out of line.
