An Alberta queer community organizer says a Pride ban on United Conservative Party legislature members challenges Premier Danielle Smith to start matching words with actions.
Friday was the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia and several dozen supporters gathered at a rally in Calgary’s Beltline community to raise awareness of rights and violations.
Smith has also pledged to ban medical treatments for some transgender minors and ensure there are sports leagues only for biologically female players. Demers called Fir's statement "a cruel joke at best," and said the group is fighting the government's attempt to disingenuously frame itself as a supportive ally.
In Saskatchewan, Pride organizers in Regina have responded by denying a request from Premier Scott Moe’s Saskatchewan Party to participate in the capital city's event this summer.WestJet delays integration of Sunwing to 2025From artificial intelligence running wild to collapsing ecosystems, a new Canadian government report outlines 35 disruptions that could rattle the country in the near future.
