Canada continues to be a world leader on LGBTQ+ human rights. Yet, Alberta continues to move backwards under the current UCP government.

You can expect this to be challenged in court. Decisions should be made on a case by case basis and must respect human rights.

Happy Pride Season. Canada! 🏳️🌈🇨🇦🏳️⚧️
Today we held a special screening of Pride vs. Prejudice with the Edmonton Public Library and Alberta Human Rights Commission to help celebrate the start of Pride season.
We were fortunate to have a spectacular panel moderated by Senator Paula Simons and featuring Michael Phair, Murray Billett and Hon. Justice Julie Lloyd. 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈
@satchmo35 La Bamba!
Read about our recent trip to Poland as Pride vs Prejudice made its European debut with support from the Canadian Embassy. It was truly a magical trip. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
Thanks Edmonton Community Foundation for this feature story!
A privilege to join Prime Minister Carney and parliamentarians to raise the Pride Flag on Parliament Hill today.
As our PM stated, Pride is Canadian.
Pride will always be part of Canada. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
@Chigaze not me! But I hope he bought you a round!
These new gender checking processes from the Alberta government are not only discriminatory and transphobic, they violate Alberta’s privacy laws.
They do nothing to promote safety but instead demonize women & girls who do not conform to gender norms.
Ottawa is ready! Emotional support chicken activated for the rest of the Edmonton Oilers Stanley Cup run.
Thank you Prime Minister Carney for cheering Canada’s team on to victory. 🧡💙
This says it all. We are all on a journey.
Happy Pride. 🏳️⚧️❤️🏳️🌈
Thank you for this very special recognition and for the important work you have and continue to do to stop hate in Alberta. 🙏❤️

Great to be at MacEwan’s Pride reception and say goodbye to all of my friends, colleagues, and chosen family that I’ve come to know and love over the past six years.
I know the Centre for Sexual and Gender Diversity will continue to grow and thrive with Jessica and Kristy at the heart of all of the wonderful work. 🌈
Leadership matters. Thank you President Trimbee for always creating space for diverse voices and critical conversations. Educatio is always the answer. 💫
It was my pleasure to welcome two remarkable Drag Kings to the Senate of Canada and to provide a statement on the importance of drag and gender diverse communities to Canadian culture and society. 🏳️⚧️🌈🇨🇦
The Alberta Government’s “Fairness and Safety in Sport” is anything but fair and will make sport less safe.
I expect this Order in Council to be challenged in Court as a violation of Alberta’s Human Rights Act and the Charter.
