SO MUCH media focus on debating masks and other restrictions, but SO LITTLE time spent on other public health measures that are also hugely important. Where is the coverage of:- paid sick leave- air quality improvements- access to vaccines- access to treatment???

Naomi Wolf is back on the bird app, so here's a reminder that her version of "my body my choice" means 15 yr olds can't consent to abortion, surgery, medication or vaccines... but newborns have an inherent bodily right to "choose" circumcision. đ¤Ą

I wasn't going to lock this thread initially, but it's stirred up the swamp of the internet, so I'm going to lock at least for now and get on with my day.

To update the folks who asked: we called the OPP yesterday morning, they took the letter and a statement from me and my staff. I don't expect much more, but will update again if anything new.

I wrote about the problem of passing no-cost contraception in Alberta and how UCP politics plus Danielle Smith's alternative health interests overlap with anti-contraceptive sentiment.https://calgaryherald.com/opinion/columnists/opinion-no-cost-contraception-faces-barriers-of-wellness-influencers-and-social-conservatives-in-alberta
