From teachers to nurses to first responders, the people who keep Calgary strong deserve leaders who have their back.🩷
That’s what #ForeverCanadian is about — unity, compassion, & care.
We’re stronger together. Calgary’s future is worth fighting for. 🇨🇦💪

[Jyoti Gondek @JyotiGondek]

Strong cities, like strong leaders, don’t choose between fixing what’s in front of us and building what’s next.
We do both.
Thank you to the @CalgaryChamber and @GlobalCalgary for hosting tonight’s important conversation about Calgary’s future.

[Jyoti Gondek @JyotiGondek]

Our teachers deserve respect, not disregard. Our kids deserve classrooms, not conflict. Parents deserve support, not impossible choices. Calgary’s future depends on it & I stand with all of you. Please read my open letter below.👇🏼

@smittynumber454 @Missellie19 Voters really need to look very closely at their trustee candidates. Public Education in Alberta is in chaos, underfunded and attacked. Strong, sane, public minded supporters must be voted in, not UCP lapdogs and anti-science whackos.

[Hon. Thomas A. Lukaszuk @LukaszukAB]

It takes a certain type of person to be so determined to oppress already vulnerable children, as to deploy a rare “notwithstanding” clause to further strip these kids of the protection of law and Courts.

It’s either fanaticism or heartlessness.

While the UCP has you debating trans-rights, they tear down your healthcare system.

While the UCP has you debating book bans, they underfund your kid's education.

While the UCP has you debating separation, they make your life more expensive.

Each fight is a distraction #ableg

@TheBreakdownAB @Beatsie1 She says options and supports for people SEEKING recovery.
There are not enough detox beds for people who are ready to make changes. So more options is .

Alberta is the only province clawing back $200 disability benefits from the federal government.

Premier Smith government claims AISH is 'generous enough.'

A new report shows 81% of Calgary Food Bank users are disabled Albertans struggling to afford basics.

We can do better!

[Jyoti Gondek @JyotiGondek]

The Government of Alberta is moving to repeal council codes of conduct - removing the rules that hold elected officials accountable to the public. This undermines public trust and diminishes transparency. We were elected to serve the public - not special interests.

CBC/Radio-Canada is a pillar of our Canadian identity. 

We’re going to strengthen our public broadcaster with more long-term funding, and a modernized mandate — to deliver more local news and keep Canadians better informed during emergencies.

Going beyond what whiny little bitches all these separatists/conservatives are being (hey, if you don’t like your lot in life, work hard to change it and don’t blame others for your problems - conservatives used to believe that), it is dangerous to abandon consent of the governed

[JE Barnard @J_E_Barnard]

@MargTokar It's also grossly inefficient. A human familiar with a particular client's medical history, can update the file & move on with their day. The random phone-answerer has to get up to speed first, check the rules, maybe consult a supervisor. Extra hours or DAYS.

[Katy E 🇨🇦🇺🇦 @MargTokar]

I have a close acquaintance on AISH as a result of a brain stem injury.
She has been told that she will no longer have a case worker who deals specifically with her.
That “anyone” can deal with the her case.
BUT…no more in person appts, phone calls ONLY.
WTAH?!!!

[Nancy N @NancyNiederhaus]

@MargTokar The government has centralized this. Makes it less personal and dehumanizing.

Then they claw back the Disability Benefit of $200 because @ABDanielleSmith says Alberta is already generous enough to the disabled community.

The UCP has no heart.

[🇨🇦 Moderate Mike 🇨🇦 @CanadianModera1]

It is imperative that the rest of Canada understands that the majority of my fellow Albertans do not support Premier Smith's MAGA tactics & we are not intimidated by her threats of separation. We are loyal to Canada.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Well, it wasn’t easy, but Trump did it.

He ended the several hundred year friendship between the US and Canada — our neighbor and closest ally.

Isolationism is a dumb idea, but going out of your way to get countries around the world to actually hate us is even stupider.

[Janis Irwin @JanisIrwin]

Absolutely heartbreaking. The Sexual Assault Centre of Edmonton is pausing intakes to critical services. All because of UCP funding cuts.

You’ve got money to travel all over America, Premier.

Reverse these cuts.
Support survivors.

Do the right thing. And do it now.

BREAKING: After 2+ years of heartbreak and relentless advocacy, Morgan Beatrice Harris is finally coming home. 💔

As a journalist who’s covered this story from the start, I’m typing through tears. Authorities have confirmed what Morgan’s daughters fought so desperately for – their mother has been found at Prairie Green landfill.

I’ve watched Cambria and Elle Harris stand before microphones, petition officials, and organize searches when nobody would listen. On February 26th, what seemed impossible happened – Morgan was found.

Morgan, from Long Plain First Nation, was murdered by a White Supremacist serial killer in 2022. When authorities refused to search the landfill citing “feasibility issues,” her daughters refused to accept it, rallying a movement that forced Canada to acknowledge their mother’s life mattered.

I’ve stood in the cold interviewing these brave young women, witnessing elders sing while the family held photos of Morgan. I’ve seen their outrage when officials called a search “too difficult” and their persistence that moved mountains – and literal tons of garbage – to bring her home.

Today brings both grief and gratitude. Grief for Morgan and her family’s unbearable journey. Gratitude that their love proved stronger than systemic indifference.

Morgan’s remains are one of two sets recovered. The second may belong to Marcedes Myran, another victim from Long Plain First Nation.

To Morgan’s family: Thank you for teaching us what true love looks like. Thank you for showing Canada that every Indigenous woman deserves to be searched for and found.

The work continues. But tonight, Morgan Beatrice Harris is coming home.
