Okay, ran some quick calculations on what Alberta Budget 2024 tells us when adjusted for population and inflation (using the government's own figures).

Over life of budget, spending per Albertan down 6% in Health.

We stand beside Egale Canada and 2SLGBTQIA+ people in Alberta. We will fight this attack on trans students.

We will stand up - loudly and proudly - for inclusive schools and evidence-based healthcare.

Probably a good time to log off but, as the flood of 'this is good comms by the Premier' punditry keeps flowing, I hope that most Albertans come to understand that it was total bullsh!t. A velvet glove on a punch to the face to placate a small & terrified constituency.

I’d also learned “to leave the table when love’s no longer being served.” Can You Hear Me Now p. 220. Love was not at this table. I was on the menu. My voice was not heard. I was the 'strong Black woman who didn't need help' ~JT #cdnpoli #UnEqualVoice
