Every student deserves a chance to succeed. That starts with properly funded classrooms.

Smith is prepared to squander more of our tax dollars to subsidize highly profitable oil and gas companies yet has the audacity to tell persons with disabilities, kids in our public schools, and over half a million Albertans waiting for health procedures that there is no money to address their needs. My question to the Premier: who exactly do you think you work for, Albertans or fossil-fuel industry CEOs?

Childcare is not the responsibility of teachers. Teachers’ jobs are to teach. The real problem is that governments offload every underfunded social service onto schools—expecting them to cover the gaps instead of actually investing in families and children. Don't blame teachers. Blame the government.

To the people who lent their credibility to this panel: are you having fun yet?

It might be time to resign while you can still salvage some of it.

At tonight’s “consultation”…

When a high school kid tried to raise concerns about the teachers strike, Bruce McAllister cut the kids mic and then suggested his parents should have beaten him more.

Listen to the clip yourself…

It’s…

Telling.

With the Tylenol bullshit I’m reminded that women have always been the scapegoat.

Remember, they didn’t burn witches. They burned women. And I have no doubt that some would like to bring that practice back.

For the first time in Alberta history, Danielle Smith will use the notwithstanding clause preemptively to shield her bills targeting vulnerable trans children from legal scrutiny.

Her actions are simply cruel and wrong.

In a democracy, no one should fear expressing their opinion, or signing a petition.
Although these fears exist, let me assure you that the #ForeverCanadian petition will not be accessible to #AbGov officials. Only my team and Elections Alberta will see it.
