I follow proud Canadians even if they don't say much, because we need to be building community. I encourage my fellow Canucks to do the same.

Elbows up!

Vive le Canada! 🇨🇦

Canadian In Alberta @canadianinalberta.bsky.social · 1d

When I was a kid in the sixties we didn't have OCD, ADD, ADHD, dyslexia or any learning disability
What we had were a lot of children growing up to be illiterate adults
This will happen again
With 40 kids in a class how can teachers even identify the kids who have problems
I support teachers

Danielle Smith keeps saying she wants a new pipeline. But her actions suggest what she's really after is a renewed fight with Canada -- even if it ends up costing her the pipeline she claims to care so much about.

Danielle Smith wants a fight with Canada, not a new pipeline

Alberta's premier has opened the door in her party and province to separatists. Now, she's claiming that other people are the ones threatening Canada's future.

Fucking Cons like to frame charter schools as "choice", but what kind of choice is it if only school in town is a corp 🇺🇲-owned fundie madrasa, where other peoples' kids are indoctrinatrd into Xtian Nat'lism using taxpayer $ and non-Xtian & LGBTQ kids are forced to conform or be denied any ed at all?

Elections Alberta has approved a citizen-initiated petition application to gather signatures in support of the proposal to end public funding to independent/private schools.

Calgary teacher Alicia Taylor says she brought it forward because it could help improve funding for public schools. #AbEd

And nab Canadians who oppose them, using American "laws".

They're also scared of their own sexuality.

No straight man secure in his sexuality feels the need to reinforce his masculinity by exaggerating his secondary sex characteristics & degrading the feminine.

On the school board trustee front…

Hearing some “elections workers” were at advance polling stations in #yyc telling people that candidates had dropped out so there would be no trustee ballots.

When those candidates had not dropped out.

Once upon a time you pulled a stunt like that, you got a date with a rope or a one-way ticket to Botany Bay. (Not suggesting either, but illustrating the contrast.)

Their punishment is so lenient, I shan't be surprized when some other asshole pops up to give a repeat performance.
