Ever the underrated trailblazer, Kylie Jenner is showing solidarity with more forward-thinking governments by taking her you're-definitely-not-invited-but-you-can-buy-tickets 18th Birthday Turn-Up across the border to Canada.

In fact, one could go so far as to say that Kylie taking her 18th birthday celebration to Canada is another in a long and escalating series of bold political statements. That's quite simply punk as f:)ck, Kylie. Well played.
