So, Kenney’s trolls are out today trying to convince us that Kenney has a spotless record on LGBTQ issues. We looked at his record and thought we would share what we found. (cc: @LGBToryCanada) #ableg #abvote #YouthMatter

@RicMcIver, care to comment?
If actions speak louder than words, the sound of the last 30 years is pretty deafening. #ableg #abvote

Illegal donations. Voter fraud. Collusion.“Kamikaze” candidate. Jason Kenney’s leadership campaign scandal shows he'll do anything for power & can’t be trusted to deliver for anyone but himself. This thread has the details.(spoiler: there's a lot) #ableg #Albertadeservesbetter 1/
A week and half before Jason Kenney launched his UCP leadership campaign, he and his campaign manager met with alleged “kamikaze” candidate-to-be Jeff Callaway. Callaway registered as a candidate for UCP leader six days after Kenney’s launch. #ableg 2/x

Summer 2017: key Callaway supporter Wendy Adams is secretly recorded, admitting Callaway’s leadership campaign is a “kamikaze mission.”
And Callaway’s campaign co-manager Cam Davies admitted he’s “100% behind Jason Kenney” 3/x

.@TulsiGabbard You seem unfamiliar with your own record on this issue.

You led actual protests in HI against #LGBTQ people.
You called gay people "homosexual extremists."
You stopped funding to schools, saying you didn't want "homosexuality promoted."
1/
.@TulsiGabbard You refused to back initiatives to address anti-gay discrimination in the schools, claiming--even as you,an elected official, were discriminating against #gay people--that there was no discrimination against gay teens, which has been well-documented for decades.
2/
.@TulsiGabbard Your support and endorsement of virulently anti-gay groups included working for an organization that promoted the dangerous pseudo-science of #ConversionTherapy.

Here's my in-depth investigation on it for @damemagazine. Please read it.

Jason Kenney is one of the most anti-LGBTQ2+ politicians to ever hold elected office in Canada. If you don’t believe me, here’s a timeline detailing @jkenney's 20-year fight against LGBTQ2+ equality. (1/28) #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli
January 1998: Jason Kenney refers to the Vriend case (which held it was unconstitutional to exclude gays and lesbians from human rights laws) as a “virus” of judicial activism. (2/28) #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli
January 1998: Jason Kenney urges Alberta Premier Ralph Klein to invoke section 33 of the Charter (a.k.a. the notwithstanding clause) to block human rights protections for gays and lesbians. (3/28) #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli

Today for Father's Day, I'd like to pay tribute to my father, Ruthven Shepherd, who passed away Thursday morning w/ all of us at his side: trinityfuneralhome.ca/ruthven-rulon-… #ableg
Dad grew up in Trinidad, 4th of 10. He loved electronics & working w/ his hands. He learned to build bread boxes out of coconut oil tins & sold them to get $2.50 to buy a do-it-yourself crystal radio kit. He stole a telephone handset to craft a speaker. #ableg
He went on to vocational school and took pleasure in learning various trades (woodworking, metalworking, electrical) alongside regular classes. He was in the top 10 students in every subject. Top student in some. #ableg

writing a new piece, which led me to thinking about this, so I thought I'd share: I'm a "generation X" person. this is not news, of course...
...but, as a young person (in my 20s), I identified as a Green (this was pre-Jill Stein awfulness). and most of my generational cohorts identified that or as anarchists...
...very few of us identified as socialists or communists, despite overlapping philosophies/goals. And it wasn't because we despised those ideologies per se...

New @CDHoweInstitute report out today on AB's MinWage. Recommend reading. cdhowe.org/public-policy-… I have some thoughts. 1/n #ableg
2/ First, it's a nice overview of various theoretical effects, positive and negative, of the MinWage hike. And has useful data.
3/ But, since its result that MinWage increase may lead to "the loss of 25,000 jobs" is the headline-grabber, I'll focus on that.
