Good question. Maybe @RachelNotley will have the answer?

Electricity prices will be expensive this winter; oil demand forecasts are dropping; the Renewable Energy Program (REP) has generated a procurement surplus of >$75.5M, says @andrew_leach: https://t.co/HOLCMoGGMI

I teased it last week and announce it fully today: our fully online graduate certificate in Structured Literacy and Reading Science will begin accepting applications on November 1 for a summer 2023 start! Very happy to be able to announce this in Dyslexia and DLD Awareness month!

[University of Alberta Faculty of Law @UAlbertaLaw]

On October 27, join us for a presentation and Q&A with Jo-Anne Henry, pictured below, as we celebrate the legacy of her mother Violet King Henry (‘53 LLB). Violet was one of only four women in her class and became the faculty's first Black graduate. (1/2) @UAlbertaAlumni

Why Alberta lacks a mandate to reopen Canada's Constitution. UofA's @DrJaredWesley brings his research acumen to the 'Alberta sovereignty' furor. #Abpoli #cdnpoli https://t.co/Jcl70Y1Ofs via @ConversationCA

[The Alliance | L’Alliance @Alliance_Can]

Register for our next panel, Working Through the Planning Stage of Developing an Institutional RDM Strategy: https://t.co/l1DlqzZnGX Representatives of institutions that have gone through the planning stage of developing an institutional RDM strategy will share their experiences.

Supplements are still available via the Special Response Fund for Trainees (Ukraine). The funding provides relief and assistance to research trainees impacted by the crisis in Ukraine. More info for #SSHRC and @NSERC_CRSNG grant holders: https://t.co/SNXsfQZOIm

Did @UbakaOgbogu read one of his own torts fact patterns or was he reacting to more wack policy decisions out of Alberta?

Wherein a sociologist of epidemics clarifies a government minister's use of a basic public health and environmental concept. #endemic #pandemic #COVID19

[Amy Kaler @AmyKaler]

@cspotweet Also: no such thing as “the endemic stage”. Endemic means consistently present in a population over long periods of time. It does not mean “less bad than a pandemic”. Malaria, dengue & yellow fever are all endemic in parts of Africa & Asia. 100000s get sick from them each year.

#AcademicFreedom. Essential to a just and fair society.

[Jared Wesley @DrJaredWesley]

A few of my colleagues have noted, “You seem a bit more critical of the provincial government on Twitter these days.”

It’s incumbent on all of us to call out public policy that deliberately divides and disparages people, and that makes our most vulnerable worse off.

[Jared Wesley @DrJaredWesley]

Many a Western Canadian premier has regretted asking questions like this about changing licence plate slogans. Gary Doer (swap "Friendly Manitoba" with "spirited energy"), Alison Redford (remove "Wild Rose Country") Brad Wall (remove wheat). Symbols are powerful.

Another reason #universities are vitally necessary: bastions of unbiased, cutting-edge knowledge, AND the ability to speak truths, even in challenging circumstances:

[Dan Levy Birthday Fundraiser @DanLevyBDCard]

Popping in to report that you all are amazing. In less than one week, you have donated over $15,000 to the @UANativeStudies faculty in honour of @danjlevy ‘s birthday.

Insert every David Rose gif of shock and love to know how we feel right now.
