Congratulations to the Governmet of Nova Scotia on its new 2SLGBTQIA+ Action Plan. This is an important step forward in helping to build safer and more equitable and inclusive schools, communities, and health care systems.

All provinces and territories in Canada should develop similar action plans, which reflect community needs and voices.

Well done, Nova Scotia!

If your hospital is publicly funded, then you should be required to follow the law.

This is cruel and inhumane treatment and this discriminatory behaviour must end.

Parenting in an ever changing world. Is this the right balance of risk vs. growth? Remember lawn darts? What other “no gos” would you add to the list?

Upset by what you are seeing in the U.S. at home and abroad?

Buy Canadian. Support national unity. Travel only to NATO countries. Bolster local independent media.

Vote for political candidates who value multiculturalism, public education & inclusion.

This is how we survive.

Skate Canada has been an international leader for inclusion in sport. The Alberta government and others would be wise to learn from their example not attack it.

Fully agree. I hope more sporting organizations and businesses follow Skate Canada’s leadership. We all must stand up and speak out against discrimination.
