An elderly Indigenous man was sleeping in his truck as he was homeless. He is clean and sober, and his truck was registered and insured. His tools were in the back.

Police investigate. He has old warrants and is remanded into custody. OK, I get that.

His truck was towed to

Jason Nixon I’m asking again Minister Nixon, how many of these new builds are accessible and affordable for seniors, students, PWD, single parents, etc…. As your know there are 3700 people on Civeda’s priority list and it’s a 3 year wait.

Help a mom and her 4 children who were given an eviction notice. I think should pass a bylaw stating on that when an eviction notice is given, exactley what the tenant's rights are. In this case the mom called me on the street. And the woman's shelter's are full, so I

My family Dr. and his partner, also a family Dr. are quitting their practice. Based on the Danielle Smith government's destruction of our healthcare system. Thier words, not mine. The avalanche of paperwork, feeling unsupported, and the inability of young medicine graduates to

So a lot of people don't understand that I help anybody who asks.

I'm a FREE service, so I'm often at the Remand Center. I try to set up housing and addiction programs and support programs that will enhance community safety.

We have to realize that, pretty well, everybody's

So apologies. I haven't been posting much for the last week or so. We just finished our fundraiser, and it was a huge success. We SOLD OUT. There were many Defense Firms and some Justices. It was a good time, and we made a bit of money. So that helps us. That really helps us.

Helped a single mom who was denied funds by emergency income support for her children who hadn't eaten and were starving. Was told to go to the foodbank, which she had exhausted, and had to wait 2 weeks to go again.

I helped a young Mom today obtain her Income Support benefits. Once again, they cut off a Mom because she could not provide bank statements and has no ID.

Off Topic: I have children, and I want fosil fuel to play no future role on the planet they live on. Science is clear. And Renewable energy is a game changer. Albertans could have reaped the rewards in tax revenue and job creation, however our government lied to us. This is very

Most Albertans would expect our government to adhere to objective and meaningful investigations. But apparently, Jason Nixon has no regard for this report. And thus, hurting our most vulnerable. In my personal opinion. ombudsman.ab.ca/alberta-ombuds…

I am haggling with Income Support about their responsibility for childrens' safety.

Some within that Ministry believe that Legislation relating to putting children at risk (i.e.: cutting off a single parent's benefits) is not applicable to them.

This disagreement may need to
