Last day of front yard #ForeverCanadian signature collection. True Story - invited the polite separatist across the street to hang out with a beverage tonight to thank him for his patience with the extra traffic. He didn't convert, but we found non-political common ground & sense of community.

Separatists had four years to start a petition under the original 300k signature rules but couldn't manage it. If we ever come to a referendum, we should point out early and often that separatists just aren't very organized/competent and why would anyone sane want them in charge of anything?

My husband has COPD and is on home oxygen. I will be trying to book COVID shots for myself and our kids tomorrow, to protect him and ourselves, paying $300 where most of Canada pays nothing. | It's the Alberta Disadvantage in action. We won't forget this come election time. #Abpoli

Every public health expert - “We need to reduce barriers to entry for vaccines and increase availability!” UCP - “So you’re saying we should open up a month and a half window to rebook vaccines for a year from now?” Experts - *Sob uncontrollably* #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

She claims not to be a separatist, but every time this dumbass premier does something, it's clearly designed to give the separatists oxygen. #abpoli #ableg #FireTheUCP calgaryherald.com/opinion/colu...

How is it only Wednesday?

Albertans are prepared to direct their government's priorities one CItizen's Initiative petition at a time, relentlessly, until we get a government in office that truly works fairly for all Albertans. Thanks are due to the UCP for handing us this useful petition tool to fight them with.

Daily emails in support of striking teachers sent to the Education Minister and Premier on my coffee break. I am getting more efficient at this.

The teachers in my life have been looking so....bruised in spirit, lately. The glorious crowd pictures from the rallies today are very heartening. Hope that helps! I have set up a schedule to call/email the premier and education minister in support every other day. Hope *that* helps! #ableg

Around my house, we sometimes refer to a $10 bill as a "Viola Desmond". Love sharing her story with my kids.

"... like it or not, this is Danielle Smith and the UCP’s problem. They told Albertans they wanted the job, they got the votes from Albertans to get the job, now Albertans are demanding they do their damned job." #abpoli #ableg #abed womenofabpoli.substack.com/p/albertas-p...

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.

“I know what we’ll do! We’ll tour around ‘Berta and film ourselves with real folk and answer questions ad lib, all folksy like, and we’ll just shut off mics when we don’t want to hear their questions. No way that goes wrong at all.”

The worst part about being politically news aware in Alberta is that we get to watch the Trump idiocracy and then switch to a local story about the Danielle Smith idiocracy, which frankly approaches circle levels of Venn Diagram overlap. #abpoli #cdnpoli #canada

Very much on the side of teachers, but also wondering when the UCP Minister of Education and Childcare will be offering some free Covid shots to childcare workers who arguably are even more exposed to flu season illnesses.

#ForeverCanadian Signing Opportunities in Sherwood Park upcoming this week include the following: - By GARC on Tues and Thurs mornings - Eton Park, on Tuesday afternoon - Graham Road and Sherwood Drive on Tuesday afternoon... www.forever-canadian.ca/sign-the-pet...

Love it!

A positive thing we can do in these troubling times is sign the Forever Canadian Petition at one of 100s of locations registered throughout Alberta www.forever-canadian.ca/sign-the-pet... If you've already signed, please let others know about it, and how they can sign, too. #ForeverCanadian

Oh, my goodness :-( Goodbye, Mr. Munsch, and thank you, from a parent and ECE who has long been inspired by your storytelling, and who has read your books to children regularly for a quarter century.

Also, those small town/rural Forever Canadian signature collectors. Thank you. #forevercanadian

Here's a full list of parks in Strathcona County hosting Forever Canadian petition signing events from 5:30-7 pm on Thurs. Sept. 11/25. I've come to know many of the volunteers who will be out tomorrow evening. Please come out and say hello, if you are able! #forevercanadian #PetitioninThePark

#Ableg #Abpoli

I will be out at one of these 20 locations collecting signatures. Way to go, Sherwood Park! #forevercanadian #PetitioninThePark

#ForeverCanadian is mobile!!! ♿️ Our dedicated volunteers are bringing the petition to you, making our petition to keep Alberta in Canada inclusive. In Edmonton email: [email protected] In Calgary email: [email protected]  #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli #Yeg #Yyc

"This new policy and challenge process means that any child [...] can be made to suffer the personal humiliation of being forced to prove her sex. It’s a poorly thought-out policy to fix a problem the government has not demonstrated exists." #abpoli

*looks at my shelves of picture books for toddlers and preschoolers and wonders when/if the Alberta Department of Education and Child Care (let's not forget they run child care, now, too) is going to make me digitize all those picture books looking for images that violate their latest ban*

“School boards will now require proof that a kid was female at birth, if someone suspects and reports that child is trans.” Students, if you’re asked what was your gender at birth, say “I don’t remember”. No one needs to answer that question. #ableg calgaryherald.com/opinion/colu...

Sharing to remind myself to drive out to the Fort next time I have a printing job.

Forever Canadian petition events in Sherwood Park this weekend include Broadmoor Lake Park on Sat AM and by Savour Strathcona County on Sun from 3-7 pm . Driveway events and others are popping up daily at www.forever-canadian.ca/sign-the-pet...

1. Her air of arrogance is astounding. 2. What are these "graphic pornographic images" in schools she's talking about? What books, exactly? #DanielleSmith is #delulu #bookban #Alberta #education #abpoli #UCP #nevervoteconservative #cdnpoli

From the FB... At least one school has resorted to donating books to the public because they simply don't have the resources to catalog all of the books by Smith's deadline. This is absolutely surreal. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

#abpoli #cdnpoli So the price of Canada is a $500million "loan" offered by an anonymous closely connected MAGA source. Trump sons maybe? Business interests in AB being protected? Maybe there's a case for a national security investigation? @meidastouch.com

Seems like a good time to repost this. Cannot wait as a licensed childcare program until I get notice that I have to digitize/catalog my children's books.

I will be out with other volunteers collecting signatures from 10-2 at Broadmoor Lake Park in Sherwood Park tomorrow for the third Saturday in a row. We will be between the Kinsmen Leisure Centre parking lot and the lake. Here is the event poster from the #ForeverCanadian website. Please share.

Heading out to another Forever Canadian event. I did not have on my bingo card me in late Aug, dressed in head to foot Canada flag promoting a united Canada, collecting signatures from a line up of people sharing patriotic stories. I mean, it's been wonderful! But 2025 is such a strange year.

When examined alongside U.S. policy, Alberta’s trajectory on vaccines is evident, diverging from the recommendations of NACI. #ABleg #ABpoli #Cdnpoli #FireLagrange #DanielleSmith #NACI #Covidvaccines www.canada.ca/content/dam/...

To @mark-carney.bsky.social I know you want to stay out of #AlbertaPolitics I do too But Albertans are still Canadian and as a Canadian I have a question- Are Albertan children entitled to healthcare, including access to vaccinations? Asking for #Alberta #cdnpoli #ableg

Thanks Dani you crooked con. Way to hold our health for ransom. An appt will cost $100+ for most, including pensioners. “It’s an incredibly bad policy,” said Dr. James Talbot. The vaccine is less accessible by 90% & they ordered 240,000 fewer doses. It’s free elsewhere in Canada. #abpoli #UCPfail

Just received my badge from Elections Alberta to begin collecting signatures for the Forever Canadian petition in Sherwood Park. Printed some signs, set up my clipboard, connecting with other volunteers....we can do this! #forevercanadian

Great, informative, thought-provoking episode of Real Talk.
