Leaders who refuse to hear criticism choose not to learn. The higher you climb, the more people hesitate to challenge you. Silencing dissent is a step toward becoming a dictator. A culture of voice begins with admitting gaps in your knowledge and rewarding those who speak up.

You know what'd be awesome? A maximum wage. Like, "you're net wealth cannot be more than (x) annually". Any earnings above that are taxed 100% and you get like "citizen of the year" awards that are just hand-made cards from pre-schoolers in well-funded early education schools.

Thanks colleen maier for helping me spread some springtime hygge around Children St. Martha today. It was wonderful seeing everyone’s faces when they saw their flowers. Holy Spirit Catholic School Division #hs4

I’m so grateful for the opportunity I had to work with @TracyRocca and to learn from her. She taught me a lot about how to build connections with colleagues, students and their families. We were blessed to have her at our school.

Hey City of Lethbridge & Lethbridge Police; Is this what you meant by "Compassionate removal"? Convenient it happens today when the media isn't around. #abpoli Shannon Phillips 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 Kim Siever #Compassionate

"Unhoused people are doing [ activity you find problematic]." So are your housed neighbors. They just have the privacy of a home to do it in. And suddenly it's not as problematic for you. Sounds like you should be pushing for everyone to be housed.

1/I have been asked by some people why I haven’t made a public statement about the assault on our Deputy Prime Minister. To be blunt, I had to sit with my thoughts for a couple of days. Because this incident is not isolated & it brings up too much pain. And fear. Yes, fear.

HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE? Checked the #alberta #teacherregistry and my middle name, maiden name AND a previous last name given to me through a TRAUMATIC relationship is listed there. A name I have not acknowledged, addressed or spoken for 20 years because of its impact on my life.

For the “masks don’t work in schools” bunch, it was proven in studies in Alberta Canada last year that schools that had no mask mandates had 3 times as many Covid outbreaks as ones that kept masks in place. I don’t care about your politics, protect kids. #MaskUp #COVID19

A current NHL Head Coach reached out to me last week to try and broker an apology on behalf of Bill Peters. So there is no ambiguity, this was my response verbatim.
