“A lot of people worked for a long time to achieve measles elimination status, and to lose it in one year because of a failure of government action … for a disease that’s totally preventable, it just makes me sad.”

My license plate slogan would not be the UCP party slogan. I suggest "Forever Canadian" instead

I think I am still running on adrenaline. It has been a whirlwind of a 90 day campaign.
But it is you, Albertans, who shined.

Yes, we received nearly half a million signatures, but we also built a #ForeverCanadian movement, a community.

Thank you!

When RCMP Sergeant pulls up behind the #ForeverCanadian Unity Bus, it’s not to write a ticket, it’s to sign the petition.

It’s smart of the ATA to shine a light on the issue of private schools. I’ll bet a lot of Albertans think it’s bonkers that we fund them at 70%.

Today, I’m off on the #ForeverCanadian Unity Bus to Wetaskiwin, Ponoka, Lacombe, Calmar and Leduc.

It is important to me that all Albertans have an opportunity to show their support for Canada by signing the petition.

See you there!!!

“LaGrange is urging vaccination, particularly among those who are planning a family.”

The death of the premature baby born after their mother contracted measles highlights the danger of more and more people refusing vaccines.

An individual is contagious 4 days before the rash appears.

Imagine a child with measles at a daycare full of babies too young to be vaccinated.

I might not have set a specific goal, but I'm thrilled to have hit my first 500 signatures on the #ForeverCanadian petition! Honestly, every single sign-up made my heart skip a beat. A massive thank you to all the amazing Albertans who are standing up to remain part of Canada! #500 got a high-five.

Donald Trump is authorizing the military to use deadly force on an American city that is just existing, bluely.

If that doesn't get you to the "maybe we should focus on this" bar, please step down for someone who can actually meet the moment.

Finland ends homelessness and provides shelter for all in need - scoop.me In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Why? The country applies the "Housing First" concept agains homelessness.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

It costs a lot less to house people.

Introducing the “Unity Bus”.

Coming to a small town near you! I’m heading on the road to bring the #ForeverCanadian petition to more Albertans. As the weather gets cooler, outdoor pop-ups will no longer be fun. So, we are pivoting! We need to push to hit 300,000 signatures.
