Rural Alberta mama✌️ former oil wifey, turned single business owner, advocate and mentor, and ECE who spends her free time taking courses in her pajamas... Covid taught the power of comfort 🧚‍♀️
Many ridings don't have active NDP candidates. We get their signs now and then, but in the last election, we had no idea who it was in my riding until the end. Their socials were locked, and they never came out.

The number of people that voted, were high considering.

Not without effective communication, which would be essential propaganda from the NDP side.

Really, the only way to flip farmers and rural outside MH. But if you follow any of the town Facebook groups, they are unhappy with the UCP. Those unhappy are the demographics that vote in low numbers.

Albertas messed up healthcare costs, is one area.

We manage. We are fortunate.

But we still can't get the damn doctor to his appointment.

I don't have coverage.

Blue Cross denied me as a single mother and the needed meds jump insurance 3x the cost of my kids and mine daily medication.

My partner no longer has benefits. It'll be 2 more months easily before any coverage.

My child requires medication for their emotional well-being, social interactions, and growth.

My child has medical diagnosis that affect approx 1% of the population, and flourished under the medication.

She has never spent time with anyone out of a suit. While many oilfeild partners watch their best friends succumb to addiction without any help offered.

Out of sight, out of mind. The #Alberta motto.

None of the staff who alerted him to future drug testing were American.

Alberta has its own problems with drugs that have nothing to do with America. Yet our Premier(s) has never focused on the decades-long drug issue in the patch here at home.

He will bear some of the scars and marks from his addiction for life. A painful reminder each time he looks in the mirror.

A new career outside of the patch, a new outlook on life, a new chance 🥰

Attracting vetted temp UAE workers to come here instead...

Saudi is vetting our workforce? One has to wonder if we are paying Saudi for such extensive services.

It's not red tape if we pay the UAE to do it for us, right?

If people are pouring into the States from Canada, wouldn't our larger complaint be that we are a pit stop country, vs immigrants taking our homes and jobs?

Or are the States over flowing with Canadians and maple syrup?

So much doesn't make sense 🥴

It's rather titillating.

Does the school contact me each time they refer to "both" as "her"?
Does the school fight "her" on being called "both"?

Trans kids are kids. The rest of us can have fun lumping in a lot of paperwork for those who think there are only 2 pronouns.

This is after months spent last year, forcing the school district to recognize the only name she's gone by since birth, and every year in the district. She made the argument, she got the apologies, I just signed the paper.

And now, we shall repeat.
