@ABDanielleSmith Distraction, distraction, distraction...

This afternoon, I am joined by Minister Dale Nally to announce the new Alberta licence plate designs and how Albertans will get to choose. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

It is time to use our outside voices. I stand with Alberta teachers and students.

On our street, everyone is welcome. Together, let’s build a world where every person and family feels loved and respected for who they are. Happy #PrideMonth!

Someone who’s been convicted of violent offences — especially intimate partner violence — should not be allowed to own a gun. My government will automatically revoke their licences.

It is officially, “Let’s circle back after the holidays” day. Sigh…

THIS IS POWERFUL. A 15-year-old girl watches how America talks about women. Wow.

I am an ObGyn from up north of the 49th parallel. I share every one of these concerns that Michelle Obama brought forward. Vote wisely, America. Eyes open, Canada.

What’s the saddest song you have ever heard?

"Can my husband find out who I am voting for in the Presidential Election?" 🗳️ We've been getting this question a lot, so we rounded up some helpful facts. Please share this 🧵

@beauhillbeauty @Devin_Heroux He didn’t clear any height and therefore did not get any points for the event. Athletes are allowed to choose any height to enter at and can also pass a height and move up to the next height, but if you choose a height and do not clear it after three attempts, you receive an NH.

@Devin_Heroux What does no heighting mean?

JUST IN Damian Warner has withdrawn from the rest of the decathlon after no heighting in pole vault. He will not be speaking to media today. The Canadian Olympic Committee just sent out this statement:

July 24, marked the 2nd anniversary of the overturning of Roe v. Wade. I showed up, along with many others, because of her. For me, “her” is the women who fought before me, fight alongside me, and will fight for future generations. Kinsey would have been standing alongside me.🩶

Happy Pride Month

This is one of the best and most informative speeches about right wing Conservative intentions I believe I’ve ever heard. Calm, cool and collected Mark Carney reveals the secret meanings behind the click bait slogans and conservative movement. Poilievre is terrified of him btw.

@AnnvanKeulen @ShantelSherwood You need a car bed to transport most babies under 5 lbs. We brought our son home in one that is lent out by the Royal Alex NICU

@ShantelSherwood 45 years ago my 9 weeks premature son who weighed 1kg at birth wasn't discharged until he was over 5 lbs and had a transfusion to raise his hemoglobin. Got him home the day he should have been born. Odd they would discharge a 4lb baby. What kind of a car seat holds a 4lb baby?

Over a month ago now someone I’m associated with had a Preemie. This lil guy was over a month early and just over 4 pounds. Lost weight fast as they do and still got to come home after a couple weeks and just over 4 pounds. Parents directed to come in daily to be weighed.

@layla_khdir Wherever you live in Edmonton, your community will have a community league. This is an Edmonton specific phenomenon. Be sure to check it out! Most community leagues in the city are extremely active and a great way to meet your neighbors.

After 3 weeks of living in YEG, here are few things I learned: -Unlike BCians, Edmontonians don't hold umbrellas when it snows. -If you are using the train, there's a button that you need to push to open the train's door. In BC the doors open automatically. -In Edmonton, you need to tap your transit card twice, when you are getting on and off the bus. -There's something called "Purple City" and apparently it became illegal. So, I am not gonna explain it. -Hockey is a religion in Edmonton. -What is considered a "winter jacket" in BC, is actually a spring jacket in Edmonton. -The people of Edmonton are the sweetest and most welcoming. -I am so glad that I am here, in Edmonton, and ready to learn more and embrace Alberta's beautiful culture.🇨🇦❤️

The new math. I think I broke something. #teacher #teachertwitter

Today marks International Women's Day, a day Kinsey and I would celebrate together. It has been 500 days since she passed away, but her feminist spirit lives on.
