Alberta teacher prompts petition on province's private school funding | CBC News If high school chemistry teacher Alicia Taylor gets her wish, Albertans will vote in a referendum on whether to end public funding for independent schools.

"I think it's wrong to have the highest rate of funding for private schools in a province where we have the lowest rate of funding for public schools."

I agree.

Allegedly long term care homes have stopped using overnight adult diapers and are only using daytime ones because they’re cheaper.

Even though they allegedly compromise care.

The Premier sent new mandate letters today to all 4 Ministers responsible for our health care. But instead of addressing the urgent crises facing the system & Albertans' access to the health care we need, it was just more of the same: chaos & privatization.

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.

Where are Canada’s asbestos cement drinking water pipes? Check the data for where you live - Prevent Cancer Now Does your community have asbestos cement in aging drinking water pipes? Statistics Canada's first national inventory shows almost 13,700 km of these pipes nationally.

These are the #pipelines Danielle Smith should be concerned about.

#Alberta is second with 3,286 km of #Asbestos cement pipes.

Look, the #UCP has done little to 🚫we must invest in our future, & support communities health & wellness. #ChangeIsPossible

A brick mosque with two white towers, featuring arched windows and a central green arched window above the entrance. The mosque is surrounded by green grass, trees, and a cloudy sky, with railroad tracks in the foreground.

In the 1930s, Christian, Jewish and Muslim residents of Edmonton worked together to build the first mosque in Canada.
The effort was led by Muslim woman Hilwie Hamdon and the mosque exists to this day.
This is the story of the Al Rashid Mosque.
