This is an older article but one that illustrates how you push an agenda on the masses and because the masses barely pay attention to anything these days, how you get what you want. I have always wondered how less than 1 percent of the population can have such a huge voice and it’s no doubt their persistence and the desire to just shut them up that allows policies so ridiculous and detrimental as transgender surgeries etc…to exist. It IS a mental illness and the suicide issue illustrates that clearly. ALL other people who threaten or attempt suicide are treated for mental health issues, they don’t offer obese people free liposuction to help their self esteem and some of them are suicidal. Those who have lost weight to the point of having volumes of loose and hanging skin are not offered free cosmetic surgery to remove the skin unless it is deemed a medical necessity, the medical community nor governments care about their self esteem or suicide risk. They are manipulators plain and simple and it’s up to us to stop just going along with the lunacy, call it out and stop the insanity. I wonder if I went on TV, presented a trumped up study and cried fowl enough the government would buy me a new horse after all if I don’t get one soon I might want to take my own life because I don’t fit in with my peers. Humanity is ridiculous.

Bill 9, The Protecting Alberta’s Children Statutes Amendment Act, uses the notwithstanding clause to ban transgender surgeries for those under 18 years old and puberty/hormone treatments for individuals under 16 years old.
Schools will be required to seek parental consent for name or pronoun changes requested by students under 16 years old, and can’t teach about gender identity or sexuality in schools without parental approval.
It also restricts participation in women’s sports to those born female.
“We have heard from families, teachers, athletes, coaches, and young people themselves, and we respect that there are strong feelings on every side of this conversation,” said Alberta Premier Danielle...
I sent a letter to my new councillor and got a reply back, not a canned one:
Thank your email. We completely understand your concerns. Since Canada now recognizes Palestine as a state, they were able to apply to have their flag raised at city hall and it was approved by city administration without input from council.
Flag raising at city hall is divisive and a distraction. Councillor Tyers supports the motion to stop all national flags, aside from the Canadian flag, from flying at city hall. This will allow us to put this incident behind us so we can focus on municipal issues.
