I am an educator in a rural K-9 Catholic school. I enjoy making music, cheering for the Leafs and finding innovative ways to engage students.

As someone downstream from the tar sands, I assure you there’s no such thing as ethical oil.The tailings dams have been leaking into the Athabasca river & poisoning our people & the land for decades.The industrial emissions also create an oil spill each Spring when the snow melts

Nate Horner wants us to believe AIMCo’s board richly deserved to be summarily fired. A glance at board members’ resumes suggests this is unlikely to be the case – so what’s really going on? https://t.co/hrqiz3tBkk #ableg #abpoli @aimcoinvests

10 richest Canadians combined net worth has ballooned to $261 Billion compared to a paltry $60B in 2004.

@CAEHomelessness could end homelessness across canada for $4.4B a year for the next decade.

@GCarabine @NateHornerAB @ABDanielleSmith This is the first step in stealing our CPP.

Ms. @ABDanielleSmith - give teachers their pensions back.

The @Alberta_UCP clearly lied about the benefits of having our pensions controlled by AIMCo, and that AIMCo was not to be controlled by government.

Another UCP failure to add to the long, long list of failures.

[Jason YYC @Jason___YYC]

This is now the SECOND complete change of management in AIMCo under the UCP, the first after losing billions in wildly stupid risky investments.

But they told us teacher pensions were safer with them after they stole them, and they want them to run our CPP.

What if we took the worst FOIP system in the free world and somehow make it shittier?

Oh, and say goodbye to getting even the background factual information a minister's decisions relies on.

Next time they repeal the coal policy they are making sure they won't have to tell anyone a goddamn thing about it.

@ChrisLaBossiere There's nothing here about "control of media." It's about properly regulating companies that transmit information and prevent them from being gamed/weaponized by bad-faith actors.

And our country is at stake here. I'd have thought you would understand that more than most.

[Hon. Thomas A. Lukaszuk @LukaszukAB]

No, they’re not conservatives. Conservatives do not blow $80 million on fake Tylenol, waste money on frivolous lawsuits just to prove their relevance, deny science, or accuse US of “chemtrails”Conservatives don’t buy private schools and don’t interfere with banking.

PARENTS WILL HAVE TO OPT-IN FOR SCIENCE 9?!?! May talk to more than just your inner circle of culture-war generals before you table laws maybe?!

[Danielle Smith @ABDanielleSmith]

Preserving children’s rights in schools is just as important as it is in all other areas of their lives.

That’s why our government is tabling the Education Amendment Act as one of the 3 pieces of legislation to preserve the rights of all children and youth in our province. If passed, the act would require:

👉Students 15 and under who want to be addressed by a new gender related name or pronoun to notify their parents and require their consent.
👉Students 16 & 17 may be allowed to do so without parental consent but parents still need to be notified.
👉Parents to be notified each time subject matter in the classroom deals primarily and explicitly with gender identity, sexual orientation or human sexuality.
👉Parental opt-in required for attendance of lessons about gender identity, sexual orientation or human sexuality.
