Thousands of people with signs and placards in front of the Alberta Legislature in Edmonton

On the eve of one of the largest demonstrations of labour power in Alberta's history, sights like 20,000 supporters rallying in front of the Legislature for teachers and their students is inspiring. Solidarity! #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli

I enjoy Taylor Swift covers. Ones that completely go against the original mood and style. Enough to enrage true fans, yet still at the same time annoy Swift haters.

Would it still be "school hours" if it was a lockout instead of a strike?

It's not " school hours" if school can not take place.

Ha. It's better than a zero we usually give you. What more do you want teachers?

They're waiting to see if they have to back pedal on that. They're learning to be ready for the screwup they always create.

Done

Waiting for them to announce that somehow teachers with kids won't be able to collect this.

Rumors of payments to Alberta parents during the teachers' strike. Then this video surfaces. Posts on Reddit stated it was up on YouTube, then made private shortly later. Link to mirror on Facebook.

I feel both the foreboding for an upcoming storm and optimism for the sunlight. That sense of power/powerlessness while being nestled in the mountains. Great!

BREAKING!

By a vote of 89.5%, teachers have rejected the governments deal for not addressing classroom sizes, complexity or salaries that address inflation and cost of living!

A strike is now essentially inevitable.

I read an article a few years ago about the lack of checks in the US Gov't. There is literally zero ways to stop it if the president wants to launch nuclear weapons. No one can stop him. Everyone is bound by law to obey. Any questioning is viewed as traitorous and another will take their post.

The human heart is

The size of a

Fist

Clenched.

Indefatigable, and infallible

On pain of death.

And yet it skips

At the most curious

Times,

To remind us of its finite

Beats.

And perhaps to attend us

To use them both wisely

And with abandon.

— Darren Markland, August 2025

There is only one single plausible reason why they don't release the report. One.

Pay attention to this 👇Canadians , please.

I will sit with you here.
And listen not only to your words.
But your heart.
And when you feel that
You cannot find the words,
I will have already known your pulse.
And I will commiserate with you
Until you are ready to go on.

Returning Jesus Christ Downed By U.S. Missile Defense 30,000 Feet Before Making Landfall

I was reading the news and apparently the US shot down Jesus before he could land. Makes sense as he probably wouldn't have a valid Visa. Saved ICE some trouble.

900-Mile 1986 Mercury Capri ASC McLaren Bid for the chance to own a 900-Mile 1986 Mercury Capri ASC McLaren at auction with Bring a Trailer, the home of the best vintage and classic cars online. Lot #24,377.

I've always preferred the Mercury Capri to the Mustang. Still a Fox body, but chunkier and more square. I had one without the bubble back.
This would be my choice.

Teachers don't get paid for those summer months. Some even work other jobs during that time.

She's like poop, covered in poop.

Almost had me again Beaverton. Too close to the truth. Absurdity needs to be more absurd nowadays.

Happy Friday, teachers.
Sending love, sending strength, and standing with you.

From the DM’s…

We’re told that The Association of Academic Staff of the University of Alberta has also hit a wall in bargaining with the government & will be applying for a supervised strike vote.

Seems Dani is hellbent on going to war with as many unions as possible!

Ooooo.... Can they have it soon...maybe on the 6th of October or something?

Also... Health Sciences... Maybe you should too... Maybe everyone should. 🤔

Like... GENERALLY everyone.

Any student is accepted. No one is forced to attend a religious ceremony. No corporate involvement. Actually funded by the government. Supports paid for.
