A friend who teaches theology shared with me a post about CS Lewis's Mere Christianity, which discusses foundational Christian logic across denominations. It reminded me of Dale's tweet below, and I wanted to share some thoughts here regarding modesty and respectability, which are often hot topics.

I’ve been quiet on socials for a bit. Wondering where I’m positioned on latest in #Alberta #politics?

🧭 I’ll *always* be standing on the side - which shouldn’t be a ‘side’ or team colour - advocating for common good & #humanrights for all - incl #public #education + our democratic rights.

❤️What are you doing this #valentinesday?

I’m caring for 2x teens whose 2x 4 wisdom teeth removed yesterday + watching cheesy romantic #movies w/ family.

As he has said all along, President Trump has issued tariffs that will wreak havoc on the Canadian economy, attacking the single most important trade relationship Canadians have with the world.

These tariffs will have a devastating impact on our jobs, our economy, and our way of life. /1

“Deport them all”, “White lives matter”: messages on signs in St. Albert this weekend held by losers making N*zi salutes.

Don’t minimize this, Alberta.

Call this shit out.

Every time you see it.

That means our political leaders too. I’m looking at you, Danielle Smith.

Every child in our province deserves a life of dignity and that starts with a great public education.

I’m proud to stand with our Educational Support Workers in Fort McMurray.

They deserve better. Alberta deserves better.
