If @cantaskforce guidelines were based on research and not a faulty study, my #breastcancer might have been caught before it spread. Asking @JasonCoppingAB to please give screening access to anyone age 40+ and help save lives (and health care costs)! #CancerScreening #abhealth

Smith is Trumpifying Alberta every day. Anti immigrant referendums, Gerrymandering voting districts, removal of public transparency for corruption and gifting, shift to private health care, promoting private schools, there is no disputing it-- same play book! #ableg #abpoli

Some goodness on the TL

"The Municipal District of Greenview, where Wonder Valley is located, declared an agricultural disaster last summer because of drought." Who gives a shite if there's no water for farmers/ranchers etc. ?

The UCP's phony war against "ideology" in public schools is also being waged in the higher ed sphere. They are emulating the American right. #abpoli #cdnpoli @SOSAlberta @albertateachers #abpse canadiandimension.com/articles/view/…

The UCP is forcing themselves into Dr.’s offices, schools and now PUBLIC MUNICIPAL libraries. Where does it end, Alberta?

Walk us through the high school social studies curriculum and let us know how we are supposed to both-sides the Holocaust, the Holodomor, Vietnam, the Scramble for Africa, the Indian Act, residential schools, the trans-Atlantic slave trade…. I’ll wait.

Nope. This is crap. Data centres are resource hogs, terrible for the environment and don’t create permanent jobs. They result in higher utility prices and environmental burden for the communities they exist in to enrich a wealthy few who don’t even live in the area.

“If the project is entirely powered by natural gas and doesn't capture any of those emissions, it will set Canada back 20 years in carbon emissions reductions and wipe out the reductions gained by phasing out coal.”

They used the notwithstanding clause against teachers for protesting. Now they want to tell those same teachers exactly what to say in the classroom. Democracy under the UCP government.

OMG read this please

What the actual fuck

We have right wing party leaders moving their parties towards fascism and the mainstream media is largely silent/complicit, but the NDP leader says free Palestine and cheap groceries and the panic op-eds start flowing.

“Danielle Smith's government is exempting celebrity investor Kevin O'Leary's massive Wonder Valley data centre near Grand Prairie, AB, from a provincial environmental assessment” Because of course they did. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli nationalobserver.com/2026/04/03/new…

This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.

I’d discuss the #ArtemisII launch in my classes but in the interest of neutrality and balance I’d have to give equal time to discussing Flat Earthers. 🤷🏾‍♂️

#ableg. Albertans never asked politicians to micromanage classrooms They asked for funding, smaller class sizes and support for students Instead we get Bill 25? This isn’t about “removing politics” from schools: It’s about UCP politicians controlling them, Big Brother style

Danielle: “Fuck the RCMP is investigating us, everything is a cluster fuck right now, what should we do????” Nicolaides: “How about we just attack teaches? That usually works” Danielle: “By god you’re a genius, Rob - you taking notes here?”

@cspotweet @JSJamato ‘Parental authority’ means that parents can decide whether or not they want their OWN children to look at or check out certain books. It does not meant that they can decide what everyone else’s children are or are not allowed to read.

Today in QP the Premier said she’s protecting teachers from violence in schools by removing the word welcoming. Because that is definitely the problem, not the overcrowded classrooms or lack if supports. They’re too welcoming. #ableg
