Alberta kids deserve more than just access to sports. If we want real opportunity for every child, we need to invest in a wider range of programs beyond sports, like the arts, that help more young people build confidence, and reach their full potential.

Wise words from Grant below. More support for Canadian creators, means more intellectual property that can be invested in. Win, win for everyone here.
And the way to achieve that is by producing a _lot_ of shows. 80% will end up being mediocre or worse, but if we don’t invest in making the middling shows, we’ll miss out on making the great shows. And great show makers and performers only get to great by a lot of experience making lesser shows.

Friends there is still time before year end to help send a message to Danielle Smith and her separatist Ministers and back benchers that Alberta’s NDP Opposition will oppose with every fibre their destruction of our healthcare system, public education and mining our Rockies.

Alberta’s affordability crisis is squeezing nonprofits. The historic Old Y in Calgary’s Beltline now sits empty after 65 orgs were forced out. Rising rents threaten essential services. We need real solutions to keep communities safe and strong. #SupportNonprofits #YYC

Calgary needs the Old Y.
For over 115 years, this historic Beltline landmark has been a hub for grassroots organizations and community care. Today, it sits empty, but its future isn’t written yet.
Join Save the Old Y to call on the City to keep this space alive.

Legislating teachers back to work doesn't solve any fundamental problems, it only erodes and degrades the already overcrowded and underfunded school system.

Premier Danielle Smith announced Thursday that her government would, absent a negotiated deal at the bargaining table, pass back-to-work legislation Monday to end the strike that began Oct. 6.

Nearly 1 in 3 Calgarians can’t afford enough food. Danielle Smith’s UCP has let food insecurity spiral out of control.
No one should have to choose between rent and dinner. Albertans deserve better.

Smith says her government doesn’t want to waste money on unused COVID vaccines. Let that sink in. They wasted $80M on Turkish Tylenol that sits in a warehouse to this day. Handed out bloated AHS contracts to friends. They refuse to promote public health. They are the worst.

So quick and easy to go to the pharmacist for COVID and flue shots. The UCP are anti-science and against making health care convenient and affordable. They are the worst.
#Calgary pharmacists say they were blindsided by the province’s decision to start charging most people an estimated $110 per shot for COVID-19 vaccines this fall.

The UCP government wasted hundreds of millions of dollars on Turkish Tylenol, bloated surgical contracts and unusable PPE. They’re not interested in saving money; they’re only interested in conspiracy theories attacking the science of public health.
