Coach Bennett narrated my Nike Run this morning. Inexplicably he mentioned “Art is expected to move you” or “Art moves you”. Couldn’t agree more. To the legion of artists out there. Your art moves me. Thankyou.

Worksheets aren't classrooms, Premier.

Worksheets aren't classrooms.

Danielle Smith will spend millions of public dollars on everything but offering teachers a fair deal.

32% of Calgarians are food insecure now. This is all happening under the UCP government! It’s terrible.

Other jurisdictions have revoked permits for Sean Feucht's events on public property, why does the UCP choose to platform him at the Legislature?

Keep the pressure on, keep emailing and calling your MLA. Help send a clear message that there’s no place for hate in our public spaces.

Smith says her government doesn’t want to waste money on unused COVID vaccines. Let that sink in. They wasted $80M on Turkish Tylenol that sits in a warehouse to this day. Handed out bloated AHS contracts to friends. They refuse to promote public health. They are the worst.

So quick and easy to go to the pharmacist for COVID and flue shots. The UCP are anti-science and against making health care convenient and affordable. They are the worst.

Agree on all fronts Travis.
If only the conservative leaning media cared about what opposition parties had to say in this province.

The UCP government wasted hundreds of millions of dollars on Turkish Tylenol, bloated surgical contracts and unusable PPE. They’re not interested in saving money; they’re only interested in conspiracy theories attacking the science of public health.

I wish it worked like that - in rare cases it does but not here and not now. Sorry. (Our NDP channels are always open though)

This is a significant finding from Alberta’s privacy and information commissioner and confirms what many FOIP users have long suspected.

The Ab NDP Caucus has been voicing objection to Bill 54 and we will continue to voice our opposition. Pls send me your email and I will share the Chief Electoral Officers concern about this Bill (just received 20 mins ago). Smith should call a general election instead of pressing for a referendum.

Calgary's film industry left with questions after Trump threatens tariffs on non-U.S. movies | CBC News Damian Petti’s phone started blowing up on Sunday evening, immediately after Donald Trump posted his plan to impose 100 per cent tariffs on movies produced outside of the United States.

Is this what Danielle Smith meant by a "big win" for Alberta? www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

My heart goes out to everyone affected by the senseless tragedy in Vancouver last weekend. The entire country stands with the friends and family of the victims of this horrific act.

I think Second reading of the Arts and Creative Economy Advisory Act 2024 will be up for debate on Monday. Let me and the Minister of Arts and Culture know what you think about it. Copy of the Bill in bio linktree.

I was successful in the Private Members lottery of Bill opportunities. So I drafted Bill 211 up. You can read it in my Link Tree in my Bio. (Facebook and Instagram)

Last week I had the privilege to speak about my Private Members Bill 211 - the Arts and Creative Economy Advisory Council Act. This Bill would ensure a seat at the table for people in the creative industry and include voices that are often overlooked by government. #abArts #ableg

Adriana LaGrange gets to keep her job despite accusations of corruption, but when MLA Guthrie joined the call for an independent public inquiry, he was kicked out of caucus. The #UCP can't be trusted, and they'll silence anyone who speaks out. #CorruptCare #ableg

It is abundantly clear that Adriana LaGrange should be removed from her position. We *need* an independent public inquiry, and she *needs* to take accountability for her role in the CorruptCare scandal. #CorruptCare #ableg

Protect Our Mountains Petition Albertans have been clear that they do not want coal mining in our eastern slopes. Protect our water. Protect our agriculture. Protect our mountains.

Farmers, ranchers and residents have been clear that the impact on water contamination are more than enough to say NO to coal. It's not just about the beautiful vistas we'd be sacrificing. It's about protecting water, lives and livelihoods.
