My suggestion? Parents can educate their kids about democratic participation by visiting their nearest UCP MLA's office to get help with their homework. Ideally, in large groups.

What's the incentive for youth to go to work when it costs more for transportation to get there than they're earning in a day? Danielle Smith is so out of touch.

Let's be clear. The UCP is doing nothing to "support teachers". Blame the union, use teachers' lost income to compensate parents, and throw "toolkits" at parents to make up for missed time in classroom. Insulting. This government is an unaccountable disgrace.

Nearly 90% of Albertaโs teachers have rejected the deal offered. It didnโt need to be this way, but the UCP have refused to listen. And refused to act. Alberta students remain the lowest funded across Canada. They deserve so much better. Today and every day, we stand with teachers. ๐ชโฅ๏ธ

The Premier's Council responsible for providing advice to the Alberta Government on the ADAP program held a town hall tonight. Feedback was clear, disabled Albertans do NOT want ADAP in July 2026. Danielle Smith and the UCP, if you go forward with ADAP, you are not listening to Albertans.

In October, I hope Lethbridge votes for a city council that prioritizes transit and invests in this critical service. Moving to a strike will have dire consequences for so many, and Lethbridge transit workers deserve our support.

So there's someone arguing about using people's requested pronouns with the sentence, "no one can compel or coerce me to use or not use certain words. I decide what I say and how I say it." Which... fine. That's a stance a person can take. I could even see there being some merit to it as a policy.
