Pleased to sign the Balance the Power Pledge to increase diversity & representation of women in our elected bodies! My Bill S-283 will help move the dial by shining a light on practices of political parties & their results. @BalancePowerNow @InformedOps @ShariGraydon @ISGSenate

@InformedOps @RBC @TSarellas It was a pleasure to speak with women already deeply attuned to building a relationship with one's audience. And although @InformedOps can't offer every donor this level of service, I loved having the opportunity to honour @TSarellas' support of our work during #IWD2024

#WavemakerWednesday: When @RachelNotley's party formed government in 2015, she created a gender-balanced cabinet that eventually included Alberta’s first openly gay cabinet minister and three pregnant women, including Canada's first attorney general to give birth while in office.

@Garnet_2203 @Lisab09231 @ABDanielleSmith Given your capacity to go viral, it would be a great service for you to post the simple poll question on this platform: "Do you want an Alberta Pension Plan?" Options: "yes" or "no"

Back for one tweet to amplify this. Independent journalism at @thenarwhalca saved the #Greenbelt. Subscribe.

Imagine the guts it took to conserve it back when every GTA developer had designs on it. Thank the visionary leadership of Dalton McGuinty. Politics matter.

⁦@BuffySteMarie⁩’s #universalsoldier makes me cry every time I hear it, and hearing her talk about the context of its creation and how she was robbed of its royalties is heart wrenching. Great podcast about this iconic musician, advocate, human. https://t.co/4VoAtaFsS9

Tonight, my flight into Toronto couldn’t land because of the bad weather. The pilot kept trying to land at Pearson Airport several times but kept failing as the plane was in turbulence because of the storm. Passengers were panicking, some crying, others telling their kids
