A long-deranged and deeply depraved man with a pronouncedly and acceleratingly deteriorating mind announces that he intends to play with the large arsenal of nuclear weapons he controls.

But it's okay, because he's not seeking a third term.

Nicolaides must resign

Alberta NDP @albertandp.ca · 5h

Demetrios Nicolaides stood by while the UCP silenced teachers. Now he’s forcing them back to overcrowded classrooms with no support, no solutions, and no respect.

He’s failed teachers, students, and families.
It’s time for him to resign.

Hey #YYC!

Looking for a way to let Demetrios and the UCP know how you feel about them revoking teachers charter rights?

Thursday, students are gathering at his office to send a message!

Let them know they aren’t alone!

Smith is utilizing school boards to send out this letter to parents…

But missing from it in all of the spin is the fact that she REVOKED teachers charter rights.

Almost as if she knows that what she did was an overreach and parents would be appalled.

As Scott Sinclair’s constituency is erased from the maps…

(After he was booted from the UCP for calling for greater supports for Northern Alberta)

It’s worth looking at who attended the redrawing meeting.

Because it wasn’t mayors or indigenous leaders.

"Lesser Slave Lake covered more than 70,000 square kilometers which is two and a half times the size of the Netherlands,"

"This new northern riding they've drawn is double that size and completely removes the Township of Slave Lake from it.”

Fact check: EVs are still the future, no matter what the Trump administration tries to do to forestall it.

The question for Canada now is whether we want to participate in that future or get stuck in the past.

Yes, EVs are still the future

Why we need to ignore the naysayers and actually look at the data

The hypocrisy of Premier Smith's current Chief of Staff, Rob Anderson:

The government is acting like a "dictator" by ripping away legal rights to impose a settlement.

"That's wrong. That's not the Alberta way. That's not what we do here."

Tomorrow, from 9 AM to noon, St. Albert students are organizing a walk-out and a march in support of Teachers.

As a dad, former Teacher and education minister, I support this. Missing school is warranted in support of social justice and civil right.

I’ll join them.

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Danielle Smith and her UCP government have stripped teachers of their constitutionally protected right to strike and bargain collectively. This is a government that is: This is NOT what Albertans…
