I'm honestly still surprised when I see an organization do the right thing these days, but good: https://www.vancouverisawesome.com/national-sports/cp-newsalert-skate-canada-to-cancel-alberta-events-due-to-sports-gender-law-11632193

If you're Canadian, and you support this decision, it's worth sending Skate Canada an email saying so. I'm sure they're about to hear from people opposing it, and it would be good to make sure theyโ€™re hearing from people who think they did the right thing as well. https://skatecanada.ca/about/contact-us/

@misty Sent, good call! Wouldn't have thought to send an email in favour, but you're right, likely important to make sure they've got messages in support coming in.

@misty Mission complete.

I'd say go ahead and send messages of support even if you're not Canadian. Hearing support from international voices will hit just as hard, if not harder.
