Proud to announce Adrianna LaGrange as Alberta's new Minister of Health.

She did an amazing job ruining Alberta's education program that other jurisdictions won't even use it.

I am confident she can bring the same energy to Alberta's Healthcare system!

THISSSS!!!!! This is the collective response! (Or something like this lol) ✅

I get it! Twitter is a gloomy place for a lot of NDP supporters today.

Big surprise, I’m not cheering off my back porch either.

Just a little hint, TBA wants us to give up & believe that the UCP got a landslide victory last night.

If you’re down in the pits today, please look through the election results, and read that the NDP made significant progress in many ridings.

NDP gained many seats. And results were close in many ridings. This translates into a lot of support for the NDP across Alberta.

Elected NDP will have a big task in representing us.

We have to hold strong and not give up.

The clear division within the UCP, could lead to their own party splitting up. Any moderate Conservatives, who get fed up of Danielle Smith or the TBA, could walk the floor.

1,866 votes have elected an impossibly bad government.

That's in five Calgary ridings. Bow, Cross, East, North and North West.

1,866 votes.

I have never seen something so close.

These @TheAASUA members deserve fair and equitable employment and should not be kept on precarious contracts #UAlberta that impact their quality of life, and ultimately, the learning experience they can deliver. Learn more at https://t.co/jffzw8qReH

[AASUA @TheAASUA]

Fantastic coverage of the BoG decision and #Haltthehike protest by @The_Gateway, including AASUA Vice-President @ksmitka's speech.

“Students have been forced to pay more all the while the instructors they rely on are not being treated with dignity and respect.” #UAlberta

[MUNFA @MUNFaculty]

It's time to highlight some of the great coverage our strike and issues have received since this started on Monday! A #FairDealAtMUN 🧵

[April Dean @aptwitdean]

Sending warmth and solidarity to friends and colleagues on strike @MUNFaculty
Fighting for the University students and faculty deserve! 💪🏼❤️💪🏼

[Rachel W Jekanowski @stalebreadzine]

The @MUNFaculty strike has become a space for imagining a better university, one without dept silos, resource in-fighting, or all day committee meetings. Being on the picket line and in HQ office shows what instructors & staff can do when we stand together. #Solidarity

My Albertan dudes: If you qualify for this terrible UCP vote buying scheme but don’t actually “need” the money - please take it anyway and donate it to your local food bank or somewhere else it is very much needed. 🙏

It’s that time of year again, when I decide to buy a set of organizing bins, so all of my personality problems will go away

[Whores of Yore @WhoresofYore]

If anyone is unsure of what to do for a Christmas starter, how about a Candle Salad? It was once a popular American dish in the 1920s. You stand a banana, with a maraschino cherry in end (the flame) in a pineapple ring, & dribble mayonnaise / cream down the sides to look like wax

@michellecampos_ I need someone to talk to about this trash heap of a show!!!! (Earls happy hour?)

[Plague Poems @PlaguePoems]

Your friends know you too well
to believe you
when you say that you’re fine
you have too many tells
and they know them all
so just say you are tired
and maybe a bit overwhelmed
they will probably assume
that you are talking about work
and you can let them believe that.

@MarkConnollyCBC @SNAPgallery is an amazing place to buy affordable original art by local artists! Prices range $50-$500 and you can browse hundreds of prints online ❤️

Did you know…

#yegcc has hundreds of units for occupation to get folks on the path out of addiction and into recovery. Built and ready.

BUT, the province won’t fund the supportive services needed to help get folks off the streets for good.

Units. Sitting. Empty.
