The UCP's "Mature Asset Strategy" will make Alberta taxpayers, rather than polluters, foot the $60,000,000,000 bill for cleaning up toxic orphan wells. Unacceptable! #ableg #abpoli @nagwanyyc.bsky.social @phillipmeintzer.bsky.social

Imagine if the Alberta government fully funded public education instead of wasting millions on coal shenanigans and tax breaks for oil billionaires. . .

Whoa! "The 'death ball' sponge, a carnivorous organism that traps prey in the tiny hooks on its spheres. It lives on the sea floor in the Southern ocean, near the Antarctic."

TODAY is your last chance to sign our methane letter. Tell Canada's leaders to regulate methane -- to clean our air, help heal our climate, and create jobs in the methane mitigation industry. The photo shows methane leaks, otherwise invisible to our eyes.

Message to Alberta's premier, courtesy of my Grade 5 son. Hire the teachers our kids need, and give teachers a raise like the one you gave MLAs. How to pay for it all? Stop funding PRIVATE schools with PUBLIC money. #ableg #abpoli @amandachapman.bsky.social

Dahlia Adler's Come As You Are is FABULOUS! It's easily the best YA rom-com I've read this year. Smart, funny, sassy, and romantic. My favourite of Adler's many terrific books. 📚👍👍 @missdahlelama.dahliaadler.com

If Danielle Smith can afford millions of dollars in daycare subsidies during the teachers’ strike, she can definitely afford to fund public education properly. Here’s an idea: STOP funding private schools! #abpoli @amandachapman.bsky.social

Nenshi nailed it. "Danielle Smith is very bad with money and it shouldn't be teachers, parents and students who pay the price for the fact that she doesn't know how to budget."

My Grade 5 son doesn’t normally like fantasy, and he usually prefers books with boy protagonists, but he LOVES Plain Jane and the Mermaid by Vera Brosgol. He’s read it at least a dozen times and bugged me to read it. He’s right: it’s an AMAZING middle grade graphic novel. 👍📚👍

Sending extra love and solidarity to all the Alberta teachers in my life. September should mean back-to-school excitement, not the prospect of terribly overcrowded classrooms, book bans, threats of a lockout, and a government misinformation campaign. Ugh. #abpoli @amandachapman.bsky.social

Am I correct that healthy kids under 12 will not be able to receive the Covid vaccine in Alberta, even if parents pre-register and are willing to pay? Please tell me I'm incorrect, and that the UCP is indeed following NACI guidelines for kids. #vaccination #abpoli @naheednenshi.bsky.social
