@CarolLeonnig @SecretService @VaughnHillyard @grok is this story true?

[CUPE Alberta @CupeAB]

@MurrayDrever @JeromyYYC If you want babies, why does it matter if the parents are married? Why does it matter if the couple is heterosexual? Can’t lesbians have babies? Can’t people adopt babies from other countries?

Do you want babies or not?

[CUPE Alberta @CupeAB]

Can anyone explain to us how making women have babies improves our freedom?

Explain it like we’re in kindergarten.

Albertans deserve to know exactly what some of the leading voices behind separation are advocating: mandatory military service, citizenship based on birthplace, and a vision of society that belongs in the past.

At a time when Calgary is attracting talent, investment, and opportunity from across Canada and around the world, the provincial referendum decision is giving oxygen to a movement that creates uncertainty, division, and risk.

Our city needs more homes, more jobs, more infrastructure, and stronger ties with the rest of Canada and the world. Instead, we're being dragged into a debate that threatens investment, undermines confidence, and distracts from the real challenges facing Albertans.

Calgary's future is as a growing, confident Canadian city. We must be focused on building that future, not legitimizing a movement that puts it at risk.

Some Alberta companies say the unstable political climate in light of the separation referendum question is spooking investors and prompting them to consider moving operations elsewhere: "It’s not good for us."

History. It was made right here.

Very first collective agreement in North American for Walmart warehouse and logistics workers.

So very proud of these members, the committee and everyone at Local 252.

There is power in a union folks.

Instead of hiring educational assistants or addressing classroom sizes, Danielle Smith would rather ban books like The Handmaid's Tale. (Yes, that's really on the list of banned books here in Alberta.)

Just fund the darn schools, Premier.

I was born & raised in Alberta. My family has been here for generations. I want to say something that some Albertans may not like or understand:
We've never been hard done by or treated unfairly by the rest of the country. If you believe we have it's because you've been played.

Congratulations to Raj Uppal on being elected President of CUPE Alberta today at our 75th Annual Convention!

[CUPE Alberta @CupeAB]

Premier Smith might have missed the memo about what happens when you pick a fight with CUPE.

CUPE never backs down from a fight to stand up for our members. Education workers showed us what we know to be true: when we strike, we win!

[CUPE Alberta @CupeAB]

We're excited to kick off our 75th Annual CUPE Alberta Convention!

Folks from across the province are gathering in Calgary to learn, share, and celebrate the amazing work CUPE members do in Alberta. Stay tuned for more updates!

No one wins alone.

This isn't just about one public sector. When we win better wages and conditions, we set a new standard for ALL workers.

This fight matters. For us, and for future generations.
