It’s been challenging for municipal candidates running in the election to get traction, & the postal strike isn’t helping. If you have the time, please sign up for some lit drops on a local campaign.

And give the Calgary Party candidates in your ward a look. Let’s not let Danielle Smith win.

Davison is all slogans. Farkas is getting hammered on his previous record as a councillor. (He's matured and admitted he made mistakes before.) Sharp is getting hammered on her voting record & her friend Danielle Smith. Thiessen is doing well, and Gondek is doing well.

I like the water utility idea too—builds accountability and focus. Davison complaining is somehow on brand. 🤣

Danielle Smith loves to pick fights but if I were her I might have thought twice about picking one with a guy who is 6’7”, spits facts, and absolutely nailed the real reason she’s shilling for a pipeline.

. . And one of the best things about it was that it made room for twice-exceptional students too. Perhaps there needs to be a discussion about what the Public System can offer in terms of programming but then again it needs to get off life-support first.

We have experience with the 'gifted' stream within the public system. Not perfect (is anything?) but it had tremendous value--primarily in providing a peer group that was invigorating for students and providing exemplary prep for post-secondary programs. 👇

Thanks for your perspective, much appreciated. It's funny but when I think of private schools my mind goes to the ones focussed on academics and business networking (in Calgary that's Strathcona, Webber, etc.). I don't see the benefits of those 'streams' as much but I'll have to think on it.

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

Keep Dolly Parton in your heart tonight
If you pray include her in your prayers
Apparently she's having some serious health issues
She's always been a force for good
and a beacon of love & kindness in song
The world (and especially America) needs her more than ever
in these challenging times RS

I think for Halloween I may put on a blue suit, a strand of pearls and a brown wig, and wander around saying “Well look,” in an authoritative but slightly pissy tone because that’s the scariest thing in Alberta right now.
