Literacy is activism.
Reading is a political act.
Books are tools for liberation.

Harming a very small & very vulnerable group of people. Census (2021) shows Alberta has ~12,500 transgender citizens, population = 4.6million. Abt 1,800 are under 24 years, < 200 are under 15.
Trans ppl are vulnerable bc of terrible support & discrimination. Alberta's anti-trans laws will kill.

🙋‍♀️Would you rather the Government of Alberta spend $14 to reevaluate a pipeline that will NEVER be built OR provide $13 million to Elections Alberta allowing us to hold this criminal government accountable?

Maybe the government could put that money into more schools, portables, smaller classes, more educational assistants, etc. so teachers can have smaller groups to instruct for better cognitive retention rather than invest in more evaluation to show how the education system is failing.

I love this shop. I’ve been a loyal customer of theirs for years and today I feel the odd sense of pride for a retail store but clearly, they are so much more than that. /1

blackbyrdcalgary Morning everyone, We struggle to call this a "good morning" for, as many of you know, last night, while the premier fled the country, our legislature passed Bill 2, forcing a workforce of 55,000 wounded teachers back to their overcrowded and underfunded classrooms through the contemptible use of strong arm tactics. While many of you who come by our shop to take part in our beloved community recognize our morals and values, we generally keep our posting strictly to music. It's a shared passion that has brought so many of you into our lives, allowed us to forge friendships, to open dialogues, and to speak in a universal language. We feel strongly - vehemently - that what this province witnessed in the past 24 dark hours calls for more precise language: We are appalled, deeply saddened, bluntly fearful of the actions taken by the Alberta government and, with whatever meager platform we entertain, condemn it wholeheartedly.

#AFL update from President Gil McGowan on X:

#ableg #abpoli #abgeneralstrike
My message to Alberta teachers is simple: you will not stand alone. Tomorrow all other Alberta unions will meet to finalize a plan for unprecedented collective action. The executive council of the Canadian Labour Congress will also meet in emergency session. And, CLC President Bea Bruske will fly to Alberta for our press conference on Wednesday to pledge the support of the entire labour movement. My message to Danielle Smith is also simply. You're the bully going after workers rights & democracy. We will stand up to the bully. Other provincial labour federations, including the Ontario Federation of Labour, will start collecting funds to build a war chest to help pay fines. Danielle Smith may have thought she could bully the teachers into submission. We are not going to let that happen.
