Let’s talk about the facts. Not conspiracies, not false myths spread on social media – facts. Danielle Smith’s policy targeting trans and gender-diverse youth is an attack on a vulnerable group of youth and on thousands of Albertans. It is a massive overstep into private health care decisions. And it is an attack on the fundamental education rights of kids in our province. But don’t take it from me: listen to the experts and allies in our video. Listen to the people with real, lived experiences. Share this video and information with your friends and help combat the misinformation being spread by the Alberta government. Sign our petition and tell Danielle Smith to stop pursuing these proposed changes. Tell her that Albertans believe all human rights must be protected. albertandpcaucus.ca/take-action/tr… #ableg #alberta #transrightsarehumanrights

@ABieleman Let me know how the translation is.

I told my partner I was giving a talk today on the use of #ArtificialIntelligence in physiotherapy. She said, "Why don't you get the AI to write the talk for you?" So I did. And it was pretty good! It was also able to immediately translate into Dutch. #thefutureisnow
