Congratulations to @AndrewKnack This is a win for #yegcc and underscores that we do not want parties in our municipal politics! He was the best choice and I look forward to being lead by someone who values information accuracy, real solutions and continuous learning.

Here is the list received today. It includes true masterpieces of literature, humanity and art. School Boards must reject the UCP’s directive. And it’s incumbent on all of us to proclaim the freedom to read. #ableg

It’s time @EPSBNews make some moves to help this vital worker so they can get back to supporting thesw children.

❗Breaking: Alberta minister quietly lifted the coal moratorium (again), meaning Albertans are about to see a lot more coal activity in our mountains. This reverts protections and lifts the suspensions on any approvals paused under the previous orders.

Up before dawn and on the picket line at M.E. LaZerte School this morning, standing in solidarity with educational support workers! Education Assistants are the backbone of our schools, doing vital work to support students every day. They deserve fair wages, respect, and recognition—not to be left struggling on starvation pay. It was inspiring to see my friend David Shepherd, raising his voice alongside these incredible workers and calling on the Alberta government to step up and do the right thing. Canada’s NDP will always stand with workers in their fight for fairness. Together, we’ll keep pushing for dignity and respect for everyone. Solidarity, friends! #EdmontonManning #NDP #CdnLabour #CanLab #UnionStrong #yeg @CupeAB @DShepYEG

Solidarity with Education Assistants! They deserve fair pay for the amazing and important work they do.

Jason Kenney froze MLA salaries. Now, the UCP wants to increase them. Not only that, they wants to index them to inflation. Meanwhile, education support workers are dealing with between 8 and 10 years of wage freezes and proposed wages under inflation.

Education support workers in Alberta haven't seen a raise in over a decade. They've fallen too far behind. It's not fair to keep pushing shortfalls onto students and the staff they rely on. #ableg #abpoli #supporteducationworkers #ablab #paintabpurple

Every single budget amendment has been tabled. Tim Cartmell has proposed not a single reduction. Remember that when he votes against the budget later this week saying it's "too high". He was in the room where it happened, but he missed his shot.

@BryanMcclean @troypavlek I like that you are still keeping it positive

Staying at an AirBnb in Halifax for seven days. We ran out of toilet paper and I messaged the host and he said "we provide a starter amount, you can buy additional toilet paper from the store" Why does silicon valley make everything so shit?

@MimiProbably @anniegirl1138 I recommend booking an appointment. It will be a way faster process

@anniegirl1138 I'm going in tomorrow. Not sure yet if I will take the trip, but better safe than sorry!

Has anyone gotten a new passport recently, and if so, how long did it take without declaring it's an emergency? #yeg

Does anyone affected by the Jasper evacuation need free camping in Salmon Arm today/tonight? Dry camping but we have 24/7 bathrooms. DM me please.

Tim Cartmell is on the media circuit because he really wants you to know that he doesn't ever attempt to do the job he already has. If only someone could have asked more detailed questions before Tim Cartmell voted in favour of these projects!

Early this morning #UAlberta called in Edmonton Police to violently clear an entirely peaceful and beautifully communal encampment set up by students to demand that @UAlberta divest from companies complicit in Israeli apartheid and genocide. Shameful. 1/

Early this morning, the Edmonton Police used violence and force to sweep the encampments set up in support of Palestine at the U of A. I was there yesterday. I left feeling hopeful and inspired by the young activists. I’m disgusted and I’m angry. And I won’t be silent.

FCM stands with @ABmunis and @RuralMA in expressing concern about Alberta’s Bill-20. This bill threatens to undermine municipal autonomy in a way that could make it harder for local governments to serve Canadians.

Happy to hear about this reversal from the Minister. The right decision. And thanks to my colleagues on #yyccc and #yegcc in standing united against the proposed cut. A win for those who need it most in both cities. #ableg

As well as threaten the safety of children and cut funding from those with the lowest income. Are there people who are actually happy with this? What can we do besides wait for another election?

Everyday we see the UCP prioritize/act on things: 1) They didn’t campaign on 2) That goes against the voice of Albertans 3) That doesn’t address our actual issues (pending wildfires, paying CoE tax bill, getting rural municipalities paid overdue taxes and wells cleaned)
