If you want to have your vote count and not end up like the Americans you should be pushing for proportional representation voting. First past the post is how we got into this mess.
That way you can vote who you ACTUALLY think will do a good job and not have to vote strategically.

If Public education is funded correctly, there would be no need for any of these private Independent schools #abpoli #ableg

Tweet from Home of the Brave: “Oklahoma’s Republican Gov. Kevin Stitt criticizes Trump for sending the Texas National Guard to Illinois,” followed by Stitt’s quote about states’ rights and federalism. Below is a photo of Stitt sitting in his office with an American flag behind him.

It’s about time some red state governors said this!

I think all kids can be supported in public schools too. Thank you for sharing!!!

For those wondering private schools and charter schools in Alberta are different.

List of private schools: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Categor...

List of charter schools: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alberta...

If we can't send our kids there, then why should we pay for it with our taxes?
We SHOULDN'T!

I checked into it, if I could afford $13000 a year & move to Calgary,
My son could have had Special Needs Programs & a 1 on 1 EA,

Public School CUT HIS HOURS DOWN TO 2 HOURS A DAY,
INSTEAD!

UNACCEPTABLE❗

The reason the Right are so invested in the myth that the arts have no value isn’t because the arts don’t generate wealth (they do); it’s that studying the arts teaches people to imagine better ways of judging the value of an idea than by counting how much money it makes…

All kids can flourish in public schools. But we have to provide them and teachers with the required supports.

Don't leave the public schools with issues and other differently-abled kids that don't have the option to leave. A rising tide should lift all boats.
Please don't take your boat and go play in another pond. But if you do, you should be on your own for tuition and construction.

Yes! This is awesome and is so needed. Don't fall for the AISCA executive director saying that this will hurt children with disabilities. We need children at public schools. If something's wrong with the public system, then fight to fix it...

New Study Shows How Paris Pedaled Its Way to a Cycling Revolution Cycling through central Paris meant weaving between buses and scooters—a bold choice reserved for the fearless few.

“When streets became calmer & safer, more people felt comfortable trying a bike commute for the first time. Families began pedaling to the park…Local businesses saw new life…And cycling stopped feeling like a niche activity—it became part of everyday Parisian life.”

Screenshot of LinkedIn post from Yellowknife Mayor describing the costs and consequences of trucks having gotten so much bigger. In the link, he explains the backlash he received for his post.

This is good —the Mayor of Yellowknife NWT in Canada’s far north weighs in on “Car Bloat” (truck bloat actually) and its many big costs & consequences (thanks @davidzipper.bsky.social for heads-up). And like most who dare tell the truth about that, he’s taking flack.

There is a storm of race hatred brewing online.
Blaming refugees. Blaming hard working immigrants.
Don't fall for this kind of shit.
I think of the Syrian families who built the north with passion, hard work.
If your relative spreads hate shit tell them to knock it off.

I support Alberta teachers written on an apple with sun shining in the background.

Please read this if you are an Albertan. The teachers are standing up for all children, please stand up for them. #alberta #abpoli #yeg #yyc #publiceducation

As Smith Pushes New Pipeline Plan, Eby Says No Way | The Tyee BC premier decries environmental risk of tanker traffic from proposed northern terminal.

“The fact that there is not a private proponent despite obviously huge willingness on the part of Alberta to subsidize this using tax dollars should tell you everything you need to know about the reality of this project, which is that it is not a real project,” Eby said.

Danielle Smith is pushing a new pipeline to BC with no route, no partners, no plan & no proponent.

The UCP won’t pay teachers or fund schools, healthcare is in chaos & they’re hurting people living with a disability but they’ll gamble billions on a pipe dream.

This isn’t helping Alberta workers.

5 Canadian provinces raise their minimum wage; Alberta now lowest in the country | CBC News Five provinces are increasing their minimum wage today to support workers amid affordability issues, including Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island.

“Five provinces are increasing their minimum wage today to support workers amid affordability issues.”

But not Alberta! Because with the UCP it’s about the companies here, not the people…

Opinion: Criminalizing drug use won't solve addiction It’s easy to cheer for more enforcement against drug users and for abandoning them to deadly consequences if they don’t comply.

“2 parts of his threefold plan — punishing drug users, & ensuring police & peace officers have more tools to punish them with—will only drive people back into secrecy. That isn’t compassion, it’s a death sentence.”

Private schools and private healthcare should not get public funding. They can exist but they should also not be charitable organizations. Put them on the same playing field as other businesses, which they are.
You want them? Then pay the price for them.

If a private school can charge 20 thousand dollars for a kid to go to Junior Kindergarten, then the school should not be getting funding from the provincial government 🤬 #abpoli #ableg
