A word cloud showing "Teaching", "Teachers", "SoTL", "Learning", "Book", and "Diversity" as most frequent words.

The only fun thing about working on my annual report is that it generates a word cloud based on my publications!

Danielle Smith and the UCP most definitely make Alberta unattractive for investment and talent recruitment.l (like medical doctors)

Would you invest your money in, or move to a place where they hold referendums on separating from Canada?

Grateful to all those who’ve spoken out against the UCP’s plans to ravage the Eastern Slopes of the Rocky Mountains for coal mining.

The UCP aren’t listening to Albertans.

They’re listening to coal billionaires.

Stay loud, Alberta.

For us and for future generations.
