[Gord Downie @gorddownie]

6 years ago, Gord was presented an eagle feather by @perrybellegarde, and given his Lakota spirit name; Wicapi Omani.

Let Gord's speech following the ceremony serve as a reminder of the work that still needs to be done in to become one #OrangeShirtDay

If there are lessons to be learned from an impending Smith victory, one of them has to be the critical importance of being engaged.

Smith took those who were engaged with the anti-vax anti-science movement & brought that engaged organized group into the UCP.

Let me take a moment to re-introduce myself.

I’m Dr. Shazma Mithani - I’m an ER doctor in Edmonton, AB working with both adult and pediatric patients.

My mission here is to empower each and every one of you with the health info you need to stay healthy, and out of the ER. /1

sorry, but I have to: Oh my God, they killed Kenney.

[Jonathan Teghtmeyer 🇺🇦 @atypicalalbertn]

If you know your Simpson's references, these people are actually plant workers on fire, trying to warn Homer about a meltdown. But he completely ignores their legitimate concerns, seeing them only as clowns. This is actually a really fitting self-burn from Kenney's staff. #ableg

[Janis Irwin @JanisIrwin]

Even former Conservative Ministers of Education are calling the UCP’s curriculum a “dumpster fire”.

But @AdrianaLaGrange? She’s doubling down. She refuses to listen to the countless Albertans urging her to ditch her dumpster-worthy drafts.

Kids deserve so much better.

Important thread! #albertaparks

[Bragg Creek-KCountry @BCKOR]

Can @JasonNixonAB @JessStCool or @Albertaparks please explain the thought process that resulted in having to charge user fees for non-motorized minimal impact recreation in Kananaskis, while exempting the lawless problematic McLean Creek OHV area in Kananaskis?

I see people suggesting that @albertateachers need to strike over the #ABCurriculum. That won't do a lick of good.
1) I'm pretty sure that teachers cannot strike over the curriculum. It is in their collective bargaining agreement.

Conservatives have pandered and coddled their right-wing base for the last decade. The base became emboldened and more extreme. Most Canadians find their views abhorrent though. But, Conservatives are terrified of the right splintering further. In conclusion... good luck!

"We were the last journalists in Mariupol. Now there are none." The remarkable story of how an @AP team hid from Russian troops in a hospital, wearing surgical scrubs, to continue telling the world of the city's destruction. https://t.co/nAlsyl6rpN

So there’s a 1.7% increase to the education budget…

But enrolment is expected to increase by 2.7% & inflation is projected to be 3.2%.

Plus theres going to be 860 fewer teachers & 1,400 fewer support workers…

Winning?

I had the pleasure of working with @KellyHrudey putting together this story of his mental health journey. I am still learning how to be vulnerable and know it is not easy to do. Kelly is a wonderful human being. #inspired https://t.co/EuiHF75feX
