Currently engaging with my community page on FB. I have no idea what made me comment but oh, it’s fun. We are discussing the lofty topic of dog walkers putting a bag of poop into someone’s trash can in alley. I’m serious, this is an issue apparently.

Message from an Alberta teacher:
"I've been told that kids aren't allowed to bring books from home. No free choice reading. No silent reading time or listening to reading. No library time until books are catalogued and deemed appropriate.
Please contact your MLA."

Parents aren’t blaming teachers; they’re blaming Danielle Smith. And they’re right to do so:
Alberta is the richest province in Canada, yet we spend the least per student. That’s not an accident. That’s a choice.
Let's stand with teachers and stand up for public education.

You put both hands on the wheel and drive right over ICE.

The Alberta Government is framing their abdication of public health measures as fiscal responsibility.
It is far cheaper to give someone a vaccine than to keep them on a ventilator.
Denying vaccines is one of the most most financially reckless things a government can do.
