Yes!!! Stand up for our schools.

Solidarity with students all over #Alberta today who are walking out of school in support of their teachers & public education.

These young folks are leading the way. Labour unions & folks against the authoritarian use of power to shut down our rights should follow.

Disgusting. Separate David Parker from Alberta!

Graphic of the education minister Demetrios Nicolaides with the word “resign” in capital letters behind & in front of him.

Nicolaides stood by while the #UCP silenced teachers, forcing them back to overcrowded classrooms w/ no support, no solutions, & no respect. He's failed teachers, students, & families.

It's time for him to resign.

Go students!! 💪🏻 We’re all with you and your teachers.

To whom it may concern We are the Alberta Students' Association (ASA), a group of high school students from across the province who have come together to make our voices heard on issues that affect us. While we have only recently formed, our goal is to represent students from different schools and communities in Alberta, sharing our perspectives and organizing events that matter to us. We wanted to take a moment to introduce ourselves and explain why we have come together. Over the past few days, students across Alberta have been discussing concerns that affect our schools and our learning experiences. Out of these discussions, the idea of a coordinated walkout emerged as a way for students to express themselves safely, responsibly, and collectively Our association is still growing, and our focus is on connecting students, sharing our experiences, and standing together as a community. We want students and parents to know that we value open communication, safety, and respect, and that any actions we organize are meant to be peaceful and constructive. Thank you for taking the time to learn about the Alberta Students' Association. We look forward to continuing to build a supportive and connected student community across Alberta. Sincerely, Alberta Students' Association Contact information: | 1+ 587-208-6805 SMS Only! | abstudentwalkout@gmail.com

The students are organizing! #ableg

"The premier has woken up parents, she's woken up teachers, she's woken up students, she's woken up workers," he said. "She's woken up everybody who wants a better Alberta, and she is going to rue the day that she did this." - Naheed Nenshi

#ATA #NotWithstandingClause

I mean… we’re not actually sending our kids to school tomorrow, Alberta, are we?

By invoking the #NotWithStanding clause to force the employers contract on teachers and shut down all legal review of their cision, Alberta has just veered off the cliff into full-on authoritarianism, stripping workers of fundamental rights.

‘Change course now’: humanity has missed 1.5C climate target, says UN head Exclusive: ‘Devastating consequences’ now inevitable but emissions cuts still vital, says António Guterres in sole interview before Cop30

Is Premier Smith and the Alberta government enacting the Notwithstanding Clause as a democratic backstop to a controversial judicial ruling? - No.
Then it is clearly using it to ride roughshod over Albertan's Rights.
The use of the Notwithstanding Clause in this regard is deeply concerning.

Avi's launch video is 🔥. While Carney's elbows are sagging, Avi's building a real agenda to make life better for Canada's many.

You know what would let kids have more sleep? A society that didn't have "standard" 9-5 work hours, so schools didn't have to act as de facto babysitters during those hours, so kids could get a lie in and start school at lunchtime. Especially neurodivergent kids with delayed sleep phases.

Hey, PP.

Canada needs to curb corporate greed and break up grocery monopolies Corporate greed, particularly among grocery monopolies, is what's really driving up food prices in Canada.

Canada needs to curb corporate greed and break up grocery monopolies

“It should be obvious by now that neither Trudeau nor the carbon tax had any impact on your grocery bills. Corporate greed and government ignoring its regulatory responsibilities have.”

John Vaillant: Mark Carney should understand better than anyone why Canada is burning. Here’s how he can change course Many reasons for our intense wildfire season are well-known. Our leaders need to do the math in order to save our economy - and us

“Canada’s fires aren’t “back” because they never went away. North America’s 2023 fire season — the worst in Canadian history — has never really ended. […] The continent has been burning — above and below ground — all the way through the winter of 2024.“

Trump Rescinds Biden Policy Requiring Hospitals to Provide Emergency Abortions

Hell yes Gandalf!
What an excellent and appropriate response to all the anti-trans bs going on in the UK of late.

‘Extremely graphic’ sexual content found in books at K-9 schools, province says Books found in some school libraries in Calgary and Edmonton had “explicit sexual content,” said the provincial government.

Let's be clear: three of the four books flagged by the Alberta government today as containing "inappropriate content" feature queer and trans people.

This is moral panic.

This is the same blueprint of book bans in the US.

And this is happening in Canada.

Alberta government, just be honest. You don’t want kids reading queer books.

Get ready for a fight from me.

I believe EM.

I believe Hockey Canada paid her a settlement because they also believed her.

I think hockey is just a sport that is neutral at best, but that we have created a culture of entitlement where players are raised to believe they are invincible.

I believe the complicity runs deep.

This is how the majority of Canadians feel, Prime Minister @mark-carney.bsky.social #cdnpoli
