Skate Canada to cancel Alberta events due to sports gender law
Skate Canada says it won’t host national and international-level events in Alberta, citing provincial law that restricts transgender athletes from participating in female-only sport divisions.

Last night the UCP used their power as gov’t to limit debate on multiple bills to one hour.
They’ve done it > 80 times in six years.
I had a few choice words in response and in defence of Albertans who deserve a government that respects democracy.
Better is possible. Just not with UCP. #abpoli

Danielle Smith just confirmed that her government is bringing back “special” classrooms. Alberta parents of children with disabilities may now have to fight to have their kids included in regular classrooms. Shameful regression in educational policy and practice!

I suspect that Inclusive Education is finished in AB. The premier is on CBC now talking about developing a new “special needs” policy, and blaming kids with complexities and language deficits as the problem in AB classrooms. No accountability for underfunding inclusive classrooms.

So this limited committee will “create a new policy for inclusive education” in AB? Current challenges in Inclusive Ed are nothing to do with lack of expertise in this area (Setting the Direction 2008, Action on Inclusion 2010). They are result of lack of gov commitment and funding.

How can you be Education Minister and not acknowledge the expertise that exists within schools/district offices? As Director of Inclusive Ed, I saw the hours teachers and admin spent making educated (based on research) decisions on where limited EA support could best be used to meet student need.
