I want to peak at age 85.

@YourAlberta Also, where is this 'parent portal' referenced in your press release? I have a verified https://t.co/6Wd9yqTLpo account and have searched high and low.

@YourAlberta Is the payment program for kids 12 and under, or kids under 12? The former is referenced in the press release and media articles, but a different government webpage indicates the latter. Significant difference for those of us with 12 year olds.

Given Bill 20, at the risk of getting fired as an Edmonton Councillor…

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don’t retweet, share, like, this article calling out the UCP/Premier Smith for not paying her property taxes and owing Edmonton millions of dollars. #ableg

Here is my statement in response to Danielle Smith’s offensive comments regarding vaccination and the Nazi regime:

In the middle of a global health crisis, Albertans came together to protect themselves, their neighbours, their communities, and their hospitals.

#Ableg

Only ONE Alberta leader has reached out to the families impacted by devastating wildfires in #entwistle. She cares about their well-being.

The other leader is Danielle Smith. Not one mention. Her focus is campaigning and too busy to care

Priorities Matter

Pierre Poilievre just called CBC News “propaganda” and “not news.”

Here’s why that lie is dangerous:

@walls I love your bubble tea ice cream bars, but my last box contains ZERO boba pearls. Like none! My friend had the same thing happen to her. :(

Take the time to watch this because it is the reality of the end of abortion rights. Women with failed pregnancies WILL be subjected to criminal scrutiny and punishment by the state, in fact it's already happening. https://t.co/neSF2AiPzF

It's incredibly frustrating when your ex is a "Disneyland Dad". @CaitlinCrawshaw discovers how to build boundaries and communicate better. https://t.co/N597ss1Ugr

@darcynews Hurray! Thanks so much.

In 1959 this was the Bed of the Future.

It is now the future. So where is this bed? #SundayThoughts

Homosexuality is not a choice, but if it were I would highly recommend it.

With everything that's been going on, I've felt very strongly the need to say something about #AntiAsianRacism during #COVID19 ...so here I am saying it. #bcpoli #BryanAdams #HateIsAVirus

Domestic abuse happens far, far more than most of us realize. It may be rare that abusers take their victims' lives, but they always take their spirits.

Believe victims and support them in reclaiming themselves. Educate yourself about abuse.

Lately, I've seen a lot of "Writing is hard right now, but I managed to eke out 5,000 words today," and I just want to gently suggest you'd do a huge favor to your fellow writers by omitting the word count, as some of us never write 5,000 words a day, even on our very best days.
