Wordsworth’s words have been rolling around in my brain a lot these days. Happiest in the fresh air and amongst the trees.

This year marks 150 years of the Supreme Court of Canada helping to shape this country, standing in ardent defence of Canadian democracy and in defence of our freedoms.
May its work continue so that 150 years from now, Canada remains the true North, strong, and free. #cdnpoli

I agree!
It takes time for new measures to show their benefit.

Being diplomatic is not ass-kissing. When the prime minister is dealing with an American president who’s an unhinged maniac, it’s advantageous to handle things with finesse.

Thousands of people with signs and placards in front of the Alberta Legislature in Edmonton

Thousands of people with signs and placards in front of the Alberta Legislature in Edmonton

On the eve of one of the largest demonstrations of labour power in Alberta's history, sights like 20,000 supporters rallying in front of the Legislature for teachers and their students is inspiring. Solidarity! #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli

I’ve seen a lot of rallies at the Alberta Legislature, but today’s Teachers’ rally had to be the biggest one.

#ForeverCanadian volunteers were there, collecting signatures.

Teachers, thank you for your support!!!

A lot of people standing outside of McDougall Centre, a provincial government office and meeting space. They're holding signs and most people are dressed in red.

The AB teachers rally in Calgary today, at McDougall Centre

I tried to get pics up close but it was way too packed to get a good spot. Biggest rally at McDougall I've ever seen.

The anti-science and populist Alberta government being in charge of ending a teachers’ strike is sort of like an arsonist being in charge of ending a firemen’s strike.

An amazing rally for public education. 20,000+ Albertans with one united message for Danielle Smith:

Pay the teachers.
Fund the schools.
Remind your discriminatory policies.

It is time to put the PUBLIC back in public education.

Please share this...

Danielle Smith shared the below picture with a completely fabricated story. The mother has since stepped forward & with CBC speaking to the harm Smith's fabricated story has done.

Smith's post has hurt her family and her business.

This is a MUST listen!

The mother who was falsely represented by the Premier of Alberta for clicks spoke out this morning.

Danielle Smith fabricated a story about a family who has simply chosen a sober lifestyle.

This family deserves an apology.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith posted a photo of a child in a crowd holding up a sign saying "My Sober Parents" on social media platforms this week.

The caption said his parents were "lost to addiction."

The kid's mom says the post was "completely false" and the premier "used my son for clicks":

β€œSpanky” might have been able to cut off the mic of a 17 year old…

But after the Alberta Next panel didn’t open with the national anthem, a brave Albertan used her mic time to sing it.

And when Bruce tried to silence her, many in the room kept singing.

β€œWhy are Albertans not more upset when trust is taken for granted? When leaders gamble with your future?”

Chief Sheldon Sunshine of the Sturgeon Lake Cree has issued a public call to action for Albertans to find their voices.

To the people who lent their credibility to this panel: are you having fun yet?

It might be time to resign while you can still salvage some of it.

Utter contempt and disrespect from Bruce McAllister.

Cutting off the kid's mic and limiting his freedom of expression is one thing, but saying he should be spanked is a fireable offense from a supposedly neutral moderator. Bruce needs to be removed immediately.

When a concerned Albertan raised concerns about vulnerable Albertans being treated fairly by an Alberta Police force…

Bruce McAllister cut her mic and told her to leave.

This is the UCP’s β€œconsultation”.
