I'd rather not. Can we just throw her into a tailings pond instead?

Further polluting the environment isn't going to solve our problems!

And Scott Moe.

Here's an idea. Get the two of them a little love nest. Maybe it'll keep them away from the rest of us.

It gets more annoying when you remember that her first name isn't Danielle, yet she's trying to prevent kids using anything other than their legal first names.

More than 400 Canadian artists from the worlds of music, film and literature are denouncing what they describe as "alarming and destructive" anti-trans legislation in an open letter released Sunday by music superstars Tegan and Sara.

The list of stars who signed the letter includes actor Elliot Page, Great Big Sea frontman Alan Doyle, actress Elisha Cuthbert, folk music legend Neil Young, recent Grammy winner Allison Russell and the two surviving members of classic children's entertainment act Sharon, Lois and Bram.

"The anti-trans policies taking root in Canada go beyond discrimination — they present a clear risk to the mental and physical well-being of trans individuals throughout the country," reads the letter.

The letter calls out Alberta Premier Danielle Smith's planned pronoun policies for gender diverse children in schools, as well as proposed restrictions for youth seeking gender-affirming care.

It also highlights similar school-based pronoun policies in New Brunswick and Saskatchewan as examples of discriminatory legislation targeting transgender youth.

Neil Young is such a good example to show people who assume that older generations are conservative. The guy has consistently good takes on almost everything.
