This is the state of education in Alberta.
Our kids get a “non-certified” adult in the room.
Not a teacher.

Fire the UCP. #education #ABEd #AB #UCP

Valid question!

Fantastic initiative!

One mile on a bike is a $.42 economic gain to society, one mile driving is a $.20 loss Copenhagen, the bicycle-friendliest place on the planet, publishes a biannual Bicycle Account, and buried in its pages is a rather astonishing fact.

“One mile on a bike is a $.42 economic gain to society, one mile driving is a $.20 loss.”

“Which means that Copenhagen, a city of 1.2 million people, saves $357 million a year on health costs because something like 80% of its population commutes by bike.” #CityMakingMath

Some costs aren’t costs.

Flawed economic models mean climate crisis could crash global economy, experts warn States and financial bodies using modelling that ignores shocks from extreme weather and climate tipping points

“The climate scientists we surveyed were unambiguous: current economic models can’t capture what matters most – the cascading failures and compounding shocks that define climate risk in a warmer world – and could undermine the very foundations of economic growth.”

Should be the top story everyday.

Arrest the president

The support systems are underfunded & should not depend upon employer coverage! Glad you got the help you needed at the time. I understand how tragic events like this can be triggering; look out for that & be gentle with yourself as you process them.

In Canada, the crisis text line for mental health support is CONNECT to 686868, operated by Kids Help Phone, offering free, confidential, 24/7 support for youth & adults, also for immediate suicide prevention, the new national number is 9-8-8 (call or text) for 24/7 support in English & French.

So very sorry for your loss. Do you have support during this time? DMs are always open. Virtual coffee pot on.

Thank you. In a town as small as this one, the tragedy is personal. There were only ~100 students & staff at the school.

House passes dangerous voter suppression act, calls it the “Save America” Act, which is a lie unless they’re trying to save America from democracy and fair elections.

You don’t have to use fancy tech to steal an election. You just have to suppress the vote that’s more likely to vote against you.

I’m so sorry for your loss 😔 Of course cars can still kill, no matter the size. The stats say that vehicle size & shape matters in survival rates.

Exactly. The size of personal vehicles in North America makes them more deadly than smaller cars. 3 weeks spent in rural France, very car dependent, & guess what? Small cars still transport people just as well as a lifted F350

Truly

Jae, I’m so, so sorry 😔 I can’t believe the number of people killed, the medical injuries, the trauma caused by cars & drivers & it is somehow just accepted as “the cost of doing business.” 🤬

Separation talk is already hurting the Alberta economy; it’s scaring away business investment. Small businesses are rethinking which city makes sense to establish their headquarters in; Calgary is losing out to Vancouver, Saskatoon.

How ICE Already Knows Who Minneapolis Protesters Are

A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

Alarming

Everything.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Text messages and a moved SUV: How the government’s case against a Chicago woman shot by a Border Patrol agent fell apart | CNN A wide grin was plastered on Marimar Martinez’s face Thursday as she thanked her attorneys outside an Illinois courtroom and told reporters, “I’m just blessed. I’m happy.”

Marimar Martinez was the first US citizen shot by ICE.

They claimed she was a terrorist. Said she was brandishing a weapon.

They lied. Video footage exonerated her and showed the ICE agent shot her five times.

He bragged to other agents “five shots, 7 holes”.

A 🧵 of ICE abuse

They allowed H**ler to annex the Sudetenland in 1938, hoping to appease him & avoid armed conflict. …

Wow. #NoKings #Davos2026

I flew down to south Texas today to do my job - investigate why people are dying in ICE detention centers.

I was just illegally denied entry to Dilley Detention Center. Because they have something to hide.

This needs to be bigger news

Happening now in Danielle Smith’s Alberta. Eyes wide open, #Alberta.

KIDNAPPING CHILDREN OFF THE STREET.

What's next?
Piles of shoes and glasses?

Blaine, Washington is a lovely small town with a great local ice cream shop. That I last visited in October 2024 & I had a feeling it would be my last visit - despite hope for Harris win, I felt dread. Oh well. FAFO, I guess.
