A packed house in Fort Macleod last night at the coal townhall. Folks are angry and UCP's talk of "clean coal" didn't help. A former Teck geologist confirmed that the deposits in the Alberta side is "shit coal".

Added some knit hats and scarves to our "winter warmups" free clothesline at the downtown library. If you have gently used or new (small) warm things to share, feel free to hang them here. Anyone can give or take.

Solidarity to our hard working school support workers. The UCP needs to wake up and start taking care of the folks who take care of our kids.
Members of CUPE locals 3550 & 4625 are taking a stand, not just for themselves but for students and parents.
Danielle Smith’s Conservative gov't has no respect for workers, no respect for the essential work they do, and no respect for the people and communities they serve.
