Alberta has a cancer care crisis on its hands with cancer patients dying before they see an oncologist. It is time for clear messaging and decisive action. Our government needs to act responsibly to fulfill its promise to restore Alberta’s health care. https://t.co/rpcRqAzabU

Some members of Edmonton’s 2SLGBTQ+ community met with Minister Fir today.

Minister Fir is the Culture Minister and her mandate specifically includes the 2SLGBTQ+ community.

Here’s some of what happened.

@artcgreen The disorder in YEG/YYC & across AB are direct result of failed housing & mental health/addiction policy, both of which are 100% provincial jurisdiction. Provincial inaction got us here and only provincial investments in these files can get us out - this is way beyond policing.

@KristenPadayas More abusive than the service industry?? (Just remembering our days in the trenches and some of the shit we dealt with)

@KristenPadayas I.e. it takes place at Christmas

[Joe @JoeLemYEG]

@KristenPadayas Just watched Die Hard for the first time this weekend and can confirm it's a Christmas movie.

#papalapology My thoughts are with Survivors who heard the apology from the Pope yesterday. But despite this historic apology, the Holy Father’s statement ignores the full role of the Church in the Residential School system.

The healing narrative puts the work back on the victims. We need to talk about the justice narrative as there is more “healing” to be done by the offender than the victim.

We are truly blessed in #yeg to have a #yegtransit manager that is incredibly well-spoken, passionate, intelligent and informed.

Carrie Hotton-MacDonald is all of those things, and more. Hear me and @mastermaq get a transit update and Q&A w/ her 👇

@KristenPadayas Glad I made the cut

[Joe @JoeLemYEG]

Many of the TRC Calls to Action can only be actioned by the federal gov't, And this is one of them. As cabinet ministers are appointed and we know again where power lies, now is a perfect time to put acute pressure on your elected representatives for meaningful change.

[Cindy Blackstock @cblackst]

The Prime Minister has to put down his sword and stop the government’s losing legal battle versus First Nations kids and follow the law. That means stopping the discrimination, making reparations and not doing it again.

[Cindy Blackstock @cblackst]

Dear @PattyHajdu Congratulations on your appointment. You can take a huge step towards implementing the TRC top calls to action by complying with legal orders to end discrimination v. First Nations kids and dropping all appeals. The time for justice has come.

I've been studying Alberta political culture & public opinion for over a decade. I've learned that a lot of Albertans feel personally & collectively "left behind" by their governments, and by the pace of economic & social change that is challenging the "Alberta way of life." +

[Joe @JoeLemYEG]

@KristenPadayas Me and Zeph literally watched this last night!! I agree with your take and would also add Angelica Houston and Christina Ricci. (the thanksgiving play scene shaped me as a child/human)

[Joe @JoeLemYEG]

@sydkatgro When I first heard your last name I legit thought it was a joke. I was thrilled to learn you're the real deal.

First time I’ve heard a Conservative leader say LGBTQ2 people are an important part of Canada.

That’s definite progress. Now let’s see it in practice.

We expect all Conservative party members to support strong legislation to ban “conversion therapy” within the first 100 days.
