V cool that my family started a petition to cancel pride in the community bc “parents should have a say about what their kids learn”. Not how I imagined my coming out would be LOL
Oh, just probably hoping to run over and kill another Indigenous person.
You have to love that provinces that refuse to properly fund voluntary rehab are suddenly gung-ho on involuntary drug treatment (which will also be underfunded and will just lead to even more deaths).
Jd Vance killed the pope?
Omw to work I came across a guy needing medical attention. He was bleeding from his head so I tried to keep him conscious but he was barely conscious. Telll me why @winnipegpolice.bsky.social come in and start acting like he’s gonna hurt them.
