The amount of fear and hurt that stem from incidents like this are indescribable.

Refusing to apologize. Referring to a 16-year-old girl as a woman. Refusing to resign.

Sean Chu's actions are entirely reprehensible. They are indefensible.

@jkenney and the UCP: this is not a partisan issue. I urge you to join me in demanding that Sean Chu resign. Immediately.

@LindsayTedds P popping up in meetings is always the best part of my day!

I love Calgary. I’m running for #yyccc to fight for the city that’s given me so much.

With so much confusion about what the city does, it’s my goal to make engaging & informative #YYC focused content

TikTok isn’t just for Gen Z, it’s a great tool to make city issues accessible

I’m a racialized woman in my early 30’s.

By old guard standards, I am not white enough, old enough or man enough for politics, but here’s the thing:

We aren’t the Calgary of decades past. We are a young city made up of 1/3rd visible minorities & 50% women.

The future is now.

I’ve decided to run for City Council in Ward 3 because I believe in #yyc's potential, our people and our future. I will champion the needs of North Central residents and ensure that Ward 3 is heard in City Hall.

Interesting wording considering the restrictions that were put in place. I am pretty sure that they were not just suggestions

[Alberta Chief Medical Officer of Health @CMOH_Alberta]

This weekend, If you do meet people, meet outdoors if you can & maintain physical distance – walk the dog or go sledding, for example. By doing so, you are protecting yourself & others incl our dedicated healthcare workers who work around the clock to care for Albertans.

If I die in a hospital tent in a parking lot during a January cold snap, I’m going to come back and haunt everyone responsible.

My office mate has been napping all afternoon after a battle with a giant couch cushion. If only she had been this quiet during my meetings (not featured: feathers everywhere) #huskypuppy

@LindsayTedds Thanks for the warm welcome, Lindsay. My first week is going swimmingly!

[Alexa Atherly @AlexaAtherly]

Astonishing

[Alexa Atherly @AlexaAtherly]

Loved hearing from @sylvia_a_fuller on @CRDCN this morning. Her class was one of my favorites during my undergrad - it was only one to combine data analysis and policy!

[Alexa Atherly @AlexaAtherly]

I love social policy. I tried my hardest to avoid economics during my undergrad and was rudely confronted with it during my masters... no thanks to @LindsayTedds but you simply cannot understand one without the other
