“Despite a pledge to do so from Minister LaGrange, the government passed Bill 15 regulations without making any contact with the ATA whatsoever. This is consistent with the politicized actions of the government at every step on this matter”: https://t.co/qePcwcJMg4 #abed#ableg
It’s not “let’s talk” day, but…
I’m a paramedic.
About a month ago I put up a post sharing that I was beginning a bit of a mental health journey following a dissociative episode.
Today I was officially diagnosed with PTSD.
I am not embarrassed or ashamed.

“The government is dedicating $72 million in new funding to just 16 schools. This is an inequitable, unjustified, ideological investment that epitomizes how privatization comes at the expense of public education.”—ATA president. https://t.co/thw52cQVi4 #abed#ableg
Great discussion of the science by two internationally recognized experts- puts public statements in perspective - Reality check on Alberta politicians’ statements on schools, COVID-19 transmission and vaccines | https://t.co/BHmScwsog1 https://t.co/wRyC8eFihr
Yesterday, @jkenney chose to attack teachers who have reasonable concerns about removal of COVID restrictions in schools. Watch what ATA president Schilling said when asked about it today: https://t.co/koLIn4IgT6 #abed#ableg@schill_dawg
Huge congratulations to Dr. Rachelle Davis on her successful PhD defence today. You totally nailed it, passing with flying colours. Very proud to have you as the first graduate from the lab. Thank you to all the committee members for your dedication and guidance!
Tonight Education Minister Adriana LaGrange repeatedly said that Alberta has one of the best funded education systems in Canada. THAT IS FALSE. #abed#ableg
Sign the open letter to Premier Kenney and Minister LaGrange. Parents and teachers are standing together for children and their futures. @abteachers https://t.co/W9FdEtUoac #ableg#abed#StandForEducation
When my kids tested +ve for Covid 2.5 weeks ago, AHS called and asked questions/shared info. At the end of each conversation they emphasized that we had no obligation to inform the school. I’m the principal 🙈
Today, @jkenney said there was information sharing with schools. BS
As my patients get younger, I now watch their children breaking as they die. These kids are younger than my own. It’s a connection that finds the chink in my armour. It pierces me. I must beg you to think one layer beyond yourself, and get vaccinated for your children. Please.
@nenshi please #CancelCanadaDay fireworks in our city. What about finding more and more children's bodies in residential schools warrants fireworks? This is literally the least we could do for reconciliation at a time when hearts are broken.
Alberta is taking real leadership to address the opioid addiction crisis, with a focus on lifetime recovery. We will not make the crisis even worse by dumping “free supply” of drugs on the streets. https://t.co/ByX18MxvL4
