I made the biggest political donation of my life after this policy was announced - and sent a screenshot to my (barely elected) UCP MLA letting him know. There's a lot to hate the UCP for, but this one really takes the cake.

About 20% of them want to be. Alberta's Premier, Danielle Smith, is a Trump-loving separatist.

Yes. Oil and cattle ranching somehow breeds the same type of human.

Yep, except probably with more pedophiles.

A lot of Albertans are descendants of Americans due to mass immigration, which is pretty ironic nowadays.

These “Don’t tread on me” types sure love treading on everyone else.

Absolutely - their recent 'Parental Rights' Bill eliminated the ability of parents of Trans or questioning kids to get puberty blockers (which have long been given for numerous other conditions such as precocious puberty without issue) or any other form of gender affirming care.
If I had a kid struggling with their gender identity, I'd be forced to leave the province if I wanted to get evidence based care for my kid - even evidence based care with limited ramifications regardless of how they end up identifying.

Seriously, what are these people thinking? Do they honestly believe they're making anything better for anyone or do they very much know they'll be killing thousands of innocent and just don't give a fuck about that?

Never ascribe malice to that which can be explained by incompetence. I truly think they believe the bullshit they spew. They are the heros of their internal monologues.

As the article explains very clearly, this goes way beyond incompetence. It is most certainly deliberate.
