I support Alberta teachers. Day two.

Why lobby the government when you can make your lobbyist the government? — the O&G industry

David Eby will win this fight seven days a week and twice on Sundays.

He's not the one opening the door to separatist referendums and forever blaming Canada for everything that goes wrong in his province.

I am at the dentist for my kids and I like that I can overhear how many other patients are taking advantage of the Federal Dental plan. I like this. Making an impact in Canadian kid’s lives.

Hahahahaha. You can’t stoke separatism and complain about Federal overreach for literally years then say this when another Premier says no to your unwanted pipeline. She has zero shame. Stop being a lobbyist for one moment and strike a deal with Alberta teachers.

Alberta's per student funding is the lowest in Canada. A whopping 27% less than PEI.
But it's even worse than that...

Imagine the self-control our PM had to use here. How do not bust into a full “what the fuck are you talking about?” sitting that close to this demented rambling. I can barely keep from going full Lewis Black just watching it.

#AB pals, I think we should take all the disastrous and terrifying stuff going down in American cities as a reminder why municipal elections really do matter and why we should research candidates at every level...school board trustees and city councillors too, not just mayoral candidates.

I am the music they play at my kid’s dentist office is from when I was in high school years old. Damn somehow hits harder than the grocery store playlist.

The Leader of the Official Opposition still does not have a security clearance to be able to view any information on foreign or domestic influence or terror.

To me it feels like every time there is an actual issue to deal with in Alberta the Premier leaves the Province to try to make a deal only she seems interested in? How does this help get 700,000 Alberta kids back to school?

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%.

Renewables overtake coal as world's biggest source of electricity - BBC News Developing countries lead the historic clean energy charge but the US and EU rely more on fossil fuels than before, a think tank study shows.

"Solar ... is now so cheap that large markets for solar can emerge in a country in the space of a single year."

Another historic milestone for the energy transition, which is doing things seemingly daily that I was told quite often until quite recently were impossible www.bbc.com/news/article...

The ‘Forever Canadian’ Petition Could Bring a Snap Alberta Election | The Tyee Danielle Smith is unlikely to allow a referendum based on the pro-Canada question promoted by Thomas Lukaszuk.

The #petition has ~230,000 signatures. It needs 294,000 by Oct. 28. I signed & I’m hopeful.

The #UCP public sector labour relations crisis, health-care chaos, oil company layoffs, & procurement scandals could also fuel a snap election. Will that be enough for notable change, given her rural base?

The reviews are coming in on the UCP's American lesson plans they're offering parents while teachers are on strike...

From this Grade 1 teacher, not only do they not align with the UCP's curriculum...

They aren't even based in what most Grade 1 kids can do.

How Mark Carney is complicating Canada’s climate progress | The Narwhal From cancelling the carbon tax to pausing the EV mandate, Mark Carney’s government is making sweeping changes to Canada’s environmental rules

From cancelling the carbon tax to pausing the electric vehicle mandate, Prime Minister Mark Carney is making sweeping changes to Canada’s environmental rules — and complicating Canada’s progress on climate change. thenarwhal.ca/mark-carney-...

Alberta parents! Beware!

Ok I kind of appreciated Trevor Lawrence’s “Panic, sheer panic..” when asked what he was thinking when he got tripped on the snap then got up and ran for the game winning touchdown for the Jags.

It's a pretty big deal that the NYC Bar Association--one of the most prominent and respected bar associations in the country--is accusing the President of ordering the "unlawful summary execution," i.e. murder--of civilians in violation of US and international law. www.nycbar.org/press-releas...

Happy 40th anniversary to the truly outrageous #Jem, which premiered on October 6th, 1985. Even though I did like the Misfits more (their songs were better, even the theme song said so) Between Jem, She-Ra, Golden Girls, & ThunderCats, 1985 sure was a formative TV year for one little gay Gen X boy.

I support Alberta teachers. Day one.

Global renewable energy generation surpasses coal for first time Record solar expansion and steady wind growth driving world’s shift away from fossil fuels in 2025, report finds

Global #energyliberationday - 6 Oct - mark it in your calendars …

Turning the military on citizens.

Attempting to rig elections.

Toying with the idea of declaring martial law.

Attacking political enemies and punishing those who speak out.

If this were happening in another country, what would you call it?

Image stating that I am teaching a class with 41 students. Our kids deserve better.

My colleagues and I are worried about the future of public education in Alberta. This year my smallest class is 36 students and, for the first time in 20 yrs of teaching, I have a class of more than 40. The speed limit around the school is 30. The class size limit should be 30 as well. #ableg #abed
