As part of the review of Budget 2026, I just spent two hours this afternoon questioning Premier Smith.

It’s clear to me that she wasn’t interested in answering any of my questions seriously or providing Albertans with the transparency or information they deserve. /1

A public service announcement full of love, life and hope for everyone to carry on through hardship together. Support each other, share your knowledge and look for solutions for yourself and solutions you can be part of. The model for an academy that works.

It is very unusual to share vulnerabilities and human problems in academia. I have had to take leave this year because of #BreastCancer. I've healed. I'm physically well and slowly returning to my research, service and later to teaching. (1/7)

#Gaza calls for our urgent support.

In light of the latest statement by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, we urge the government to take action for a #humanitariancorridor and cease fire in Gaza.

Please see this thread. If you can’t support, spread the word and learn about the work that can be done in the face of a human catastrophe.

Our offices in #Gaza that manufacture medical equipment have been badly damaged by the Israeli bombing of the International Eye Hospital, which is close by. Our capabilities to manufacture tourniquets on site for the current onslaught on civilians are severely degraded.

Hey, students! A compelling reflection on the living, thriving legacy of exclusion in institutions of higher education. We won’t change if we won’t see it! Thanks to @ziyanakotadia for this prompt to keep looking. #weknowher #CGSforlife

Hey students! Follow Nishnawbe Aski Nation @NANComms to learn how reconcilliation requires relationships based on ‘good faith’, aka truth:

NAN @gcfiddler has issued an open letter to @fordnation on the eve of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

Hey students. Universities, as public institutions, hold special promise to advance both truth and reconciliation. Here’s an example:?

#UofT to cover tuition for students from nine First Nations communities ➡️ https://t.co/8LvkBkFq9A

This time, around Orange Shirt Day, is difficult for many Survivors as they share truths about their residential school experiences. It is also a time where we unfortunately see a rise in IRS denialism. Here's a thread for settlers on how to combat it and hold space for truth🧵

[Centre for Global Studies @HuronCGS]

Hey students! It is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation in Canada. Here’s how this day came to be - https://t.co/R8AdYEbqQv https://t.co/FfYuXoEN6L

Hey students! An excellent and helpful thread. The truth is the key to pro-social change. Be a good student of the truth.

[Huron University @huronuni]

We recognize that the recent protests and demonstrations targeting the 2SLGBTQIA+ community are painful to witness. There is no room for hate at Huron. (1/2)

[Office of Indigenous Initiatives, Western U @westernuOII]

Look out for many opportunities to learn about the truth this week. Thanks to @westernuOII for doing the heavy lifting this week and every week.

[Office of Indigenous Initiatives, Western U @westernuOII]

2/ #WearOrangeSpeakTruth It's crucial for the Western community to show up in recognition of Western’s direct association with Residential Schools & the legacy of exclusion of Indigenous Peoples in university curriculum, policy, and governance.

Is ‘protest washing’ a thing? It sure is! Fascists manipulate people with flagrant lies on the pretence they supply solidarity. But all they’re doing is mobilizing people to spread fear. The terror is the point. @TheTyee https://t.co/6MbqHrxKIU

[Centre for Global Studies @HuronCGS]

Misinformation campaigns that disguise and normalize bigotry and queer-phobia are getting a lot of attention. But this is not a debate. A concerted campaign of lies meant to stoke hatred is putting people at risk. Don’t be fooled. https://t.co/RSCdyjkfw3
