Schools should be focused on teaching kids how to think, not what to think. Classrooms must be an impartial learning environment that prioritize teaching fundamentals like reading, math and science and support students in developing their own opinions and views.
Our students and educators need to be safe in the classroom. We will be strengthening the Education Act to protect them from incidents of violence and aggression with clear standards and expectations. School boards will be held accountable if those standards are not followed.
RCMP searched former Calgary Mayor Jyoti Gondek’s home & seized her phone in City Hall corruption probe. No charges yet — she’s cooperating.
What’s next? Could this open a bigger can of worms… including Alberta NDP leader Naheed Nenshi?

@calgaryherald Smith will let the process play out just as she did with the recalls. She knows that interfering in the process will just inflame the issue, it will resolve itself one way or another and it will be resolved by everyday AB’s, not by politicians or special interest groups
I'm beginning to think that a lot of people signed up to be independence canvassers just to get a souvenir badge, or virtue signal amongst their friends.
We planned a major door-knocking event last night, and only 2 volunteers showed up, out of a pool of 120+ (I know it was St. Patrick's day, but still)
Disappointing.
It's also frustrating to think of the resources spent processing the canvasser, training them, and delivering the sheets and materials necessary to collect signatures, only to have them stay home.
@DavidJPba There are thousands of unemployed steel, aluminum,auto and lumber workers who could straighten you out if you had the guts to speak directly.
One of the funniest things about Canadians is how sensitive they are. It's very easy to trigger a Canadian. Just tell them facts about America, they will lose their minds.
@SHW0001234@TroyWestwood Me too I’m old and angry. I voted conservative for almost 50 years in Alberta, now I don’t recognize the so called conservative Conservative Party the UPC. What an embarrassment.
You're fucking right I'm old and angry.
I've voted Conservative for almost 50 years. 8 PM on election night comes in Calgary and I turn on the TV only to be told that the election has already been decided based on how the dim bulbs east of the Ontario/Manitoba border have voted and that my vote doesn't count. Never again if I can help it.
If all the Alberta Independence supporters left Alberta, the entire province would collapse into poverty. The people supporting Alberta Independence are the productive members of society. Those advocating for staying in Canada are leeches and parasites.
Calgary Mayor Jeromy Farkas says the city pays equalization "transfer payments" to Edmonton.
He's intentionally twisting words to misinform and manipulate Calgarians.
Calgary's property taxes will contribute 11.7% of the province's education budget this year. Not "equalization"
The Alberta Teachers Association Cancelled Paul Brandt from speaking about Child Trafficking but give drag queens all the time in the world!
These are the people that spend all day with your kids!!!
For those people telling me to F🖕off while I’m out canvassing petition signatures.
Here’s a tip don’t tell me to F off and pull into the gas station right next to me -then act surprised when I walk in.
I said nothing….absolute quiet I was, but received quickly an ‘apology.’
