We like proper twelve over here. If we’re not budgeting for Jameson. 🥃

Fact for today: Canada has climbed from 4th to 2nd in the latest international reputation rankings. The US has dropped dramatically, from 30th to 48th among the 60 top economies. Switzerland ranks first, Russia last. The rankings are often a factor in country investment decisions.

This is horrific.

Danielle Smith is dismantling the public healthcare system, and this is the result.

When is enough enough, Alberta? I mean come on. No amount of devout party loyalty is worth screwing over kids with cancer.

Today, I submitted 456,365 Albertans’ signatures to Elections Alberta, petitioning the Premier to do the right thing, avoid a divisive and economically harmful referendum, and allow MLAs to vote and reaffirm that Alberta’s future is in Canada.🇨🇦

Alberta is #ForeverCanadian

YouTube video by Naheed Nenshi Albertans Rise Up Against Danielle Smith’s Attack on Public Education

Albertans know what's at stake.

Danielle Smith is attacking teachers, parents, students, and workers. We won't stand for it.

Alberta's New Democrats stand for public education.

Please enjoy my cartoon for Wednesday's Toronto Star

She sat there when McAllister said it. She sat there when the student’s mic was turned off, and when McAllister basically suggested the student should’ve been beat more as a child.

The Premier of Alberta sat there and did nothing.

If that it’s not tacit approval, what is?

Literally every credible medical expert - "Puberty blockers do not sterilize patients"

Danielle Smith - "Puberty blockers sterilize children!"

Danielle Smith lies.

Twenty Lessons, read by John Lithgow Key selections from On Tyranny, for viewing and sharing

Here is my best guidance, rendered beautifully by the great John Lithgow. I first published these lessons nearly nine years ago, in late 2016. They open the twenty chapters of "On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century."

We all need to “fight like hell” to protect our fundamental freedoms and inalienable human rights.

These school board candidates are so important to the foundation of our province’s future. We need to elect people that have our children’s best interests at heart.

We are in the middle of a KNOWLEDGE CRISIS! 📣

We can't let lies win. 💪

‘Purely transphobic’: teen athlete calls out provincially mandated form requiring confirmation of sex at birth Back to school is looking different for girls playing sports this year as they are being given a provincially mandated form requiring them to confirm their sex at birth.

All girls should refuse to sign these deeply sexist and transphobic forms.

Once school sports stop, the government will quickly reverse their discriminatory policy out of sheer embarrassment, just like they did with the book ban.

Yes! 🙌🏻

Smith today blamed her book ban eliminating classics from public schools on a "miscommunication"...

And then told media the minister of ENVIRONMENT would be rewriting the order.

It's a mystery how any miscommunications could have ever happened...

This UCP government treats public educators like absolute shit, every chance they get.

“Hey - help us ban books by creating a digital library of every book in your classroom. And do that on your own time, without pay. By the way, don’t even thing about striking. We’ll lock your asses out.” #ableg

WARNING!!!

It’s been brought to our attention that a fake website exists, misleading that the #ForeverCanadian petition can be signed online. With a laptop, they’re visiting senior homes.

Official @ElectionsAB petition must be signed on paper and this badge must be presented.

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?

EDMONTON - GREAT NEWS!
#ForeverCanadian is launching a permanent signing location at the Kingsway Legion 🌺(14339 - 50 Street).

Official opening is on August 16, but you can come tomorrow, August 14 between 12-8 pm.

Stay tuned for more permanent locations across Alberta.

I’m getting my second dose next week! Good for you! ☺️

It should be patently obvious by now that Canada cannot have a major news network owned by American interests, especially given ongoing US threats and American ownership of the major social media platforms. No other country would allow this.

Braid: Alberta's pro-Canada forces scoop separatists, set referendum question The pro-Canada referendum forces have scooped the separatists and succeeded in setting the question for a referendum on Alberta independence

Surprise, a pro-Canada team beat the separatists to an Alberta referendum.

This describes Inglewood any day of the week. Sadly short cutting between 124 and Groat makes our neighbourhood dangerous.

Choosing to parent queerly can be just as radical as going child-free | Xtra Magazine ANALYSIS: Queer and trans people have always found ways to make family, to resist erasure and to dream of something more

Parenting queerly means more than just being a queer or trans parent. It means approaching parenting through a lens shaped by queerness.
