There were many numbers shared during the Alberta teacher strike about the cost of contract proposals. But harder to find how much the govt planned to spend hiring new teachers and EAs. The education minister says some of the $ to hire 3000 new Ts is money already in the 2025 budget #AbLeg #AbEd

Hi Bluesky 👋 Small life update: I’m at the centre of a multimillion dollar lawsuit in Alberta launched by a failed candidate for Jason Kenney’s UCP It may be the longest and most expensive media trial in Canadian history I’m ready to go public about it and I want to share more details with you 🧵

According to this ranking, Canada’s reputation has improved since 2024. We are now the 2nd most reputable country in the world. The United States has dropped from 30th to 48th in that same year, the biggest drop of any nation BY FAR. Its reputation-peers are now Kuwait, Algeria, Kazakhstan…

And here it is. When the first instinct of a so-called independent regulator is to call the Minister’s office for their “input” you don’t have an independent regulator #abpoli #ableg

Not only did the AER's CEO unlawfully interfere with the hearing process for Summit's Mine 14, he called the Minister's office for "input" pretty much as soon as the application for reconsideration came in. That's a foul. #abpoli #ableg @cpawsnab.bsky.social www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/alber...

Reading about pedestrian deaths. Without taking accountability away from drivers, may I suggest pedestrians wear a reflective vest like this? Again, not blaming the pedestrian. Just increasing visibility. $15 is a nice affordable gift too. www.marks.com/en/pdp/aggre...

Yet another pedestrian death on Calgary's streets. This article doesn't include the context that last month, three pedestrians were killed in 24 hours and #yyc surpassed last year’s 10-year high for fatal traffic collisions. We need to talk about this more. #yyccc www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Bumped into @brettbergie.bsky.social today in the grocery store. She was wearing a respirator but also a bike helmet. The clincher was when I saw how tiny her bike was folded up. Very helpful. Thanks for the advice.

The rot is situated in a particular place: in media and social media. Americans don’t really approve of this, not in some entrenched way. They’re just being immersed in a social environment that constantly rationalizes dictatorial, megalomaniacal behavior from Trump.

As a parent, I see the dedication of our teachers every single day. They show up for our kids & now it's our turn to show up for them. I stand in solidarity with Alberta teachers as they fight for better learning environments and supports for our public education system. #yyccc #AlbertaTeachers ✊🏼

That's how police described his reaction:

The reason why this video is being shared and not hidden out of respect due to a fatality is b/c Airdrie has a 30km/h residential speed limit. This is not to excuse the driver for what happened. Lower speeds are safer for people walking when people driving make mistakes.

Police in Airdrie, Alberta (just north of Calgary) say this driver hit a 17-year-old girl in a marked crosswalk, got out of the vehicle, and appeared to get upset at the teenager before driving away. They released this video and are now trying to identify the driver.

To date some 54,622 Calgarians have cast their ballots at advance polls. On Oct. 9, 14,500 ballots were cast. This remains higher than in 2013 and 2017, but lower than 2017.

When medical influencers get after me for saying things like "medicine has no meaningful standards of competence for leadership", "COVID is the Dunning-Kruger pandemic", or "public health policy is routinely based on pseudoscience", this is why I am right. It's a 🤬 gong show. #StandUpForScience

Make no mistake. This nonsense about Antifa is directly tied to the 2026 and 2028 elections. It’s the “crisis” they will use as justification to shut down key voting centers.

Breaking the chain: Canada eliminated #measles decades ago, but it will lose that status on Oct. 27 – barring a "miracle" experts doubt will happen. Here’s how falling vaccine rates got us to this point and what happens after. @theglobeandmail.com
