I love this province, I want to live my life here so bad, but i'm planning on doing university in BC because this government is trying so hard to drive myself and my trans siblings either out of this province or to suicide. I really hope this makes a difference.

made a twitter account just to say this. I wish there were a way to send him a direct thank you. As a trans youth who watched Smith get elected last year with horror, stuff like this helps me believe it's not hopeless trying to survive here.

I genuinely don't know how to express how much it means to me that someone this influential in Alberta is speaking this passionately about trans rights. I cried like a baby watching this. Thank you Nenshi.

By request... Here is the full, unedited speech from @nenshi today in #YYC. He openly condemns Smith's new anti-trans policies and calls her out personally. This is a speech the likes of which Alberta hasn't seen in quite a while. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli
