Earlier this week, it came to our attention that someone had installed bench plaques at Bowmont Park. Due to our policy around commemorative plaques and graffiti, we removed them. But we heard from Calgarians that you loved the sayings and you wanted them to stay. (thread)

I have never heard anyone mispronounce "Ottawa" the way Tucker Carlson does here. Very odd.

As the pandemic rolls into its ninth month, community leaders are battling a deep-seated fear that some students will fall so far behind, they could check out on school and never recover. Something to watch here, for sure. edmontonjournal.com/news/local-new… #abed

Edmonton Oilers fans have claimed, for National Hockey League purposes, the 2021 Stanley Cup (which won’t allow legal observers) for the metropolis of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada which has a BIG Connor McDavid lead. Additionally, we hereby claim the Calgary Flames finish last.

I cannot believe we are closing schools before casinos and bars.

It would really be a shame if everyone retweeted this photo of Devin Dreeshen, in case he's forgotten what he looks like in a hat.

Please purchase a second podium 😅

In a FB live tonight Jason Kenney 🇨🇦🇺🇦🇮🇱 said he’s “offended” by politicians who would use the pandemic to advance an agenda they didn’t campaign on... ...meanwhile Kenney quietly broke a promise to teachers and took control of their pension...during the pandemic #handsoffmypension #ableg

Sadly, not a Beaverton headline. Alberta - this is your gov’t & it’s priorities. "A motion condemning hateful and racist symbols in Alberta did not go up for a vote in the legislature Monday because the UCP government spent much of the allotted time discussing rodeo.” #ableg

The new K-6 curriculum was a challenging feat of balancing truth against white fragility. It is now ready for release, and our issues managers all agree that this is the most comprehensive curriculum ever put forth. #ableg #abed #onyourown

As we consider the continuing impact of COVID-19 on how we organize for instruction, #EPSB schools don't plan to participate in voluntary curriculum testing starting in Sept. We'll review the curriculum and provide feedback. Statement from Superintendent: bit.ly/31DNXP5

Professors of social studies education from every program across Alberta join voices to speak against a provincial government's draft for a K-12 curriculum. The University of Alberta experts include: Carla Peck, PhD Kent den Heyer @DrEvilAcademic edmontonjournal.com/opinion/column…

.Alberta Teachers' Association is calling for the province to halt work on/piloting the new draft K-6 curriculum pending an independent review & re-write including more educators in the process, & involving Indigenous & Francophone perspectives. #abed Edmonton Journal edmontonjournal.com/news/alberta-t…

Indigenous History Month: we ask that citizens forget we discontinued land acknowledgements, denied the existence of genocide against Indigenous people, hired outspoken racists who targeted Indigenous people, and barely acknowledged the mass grave discovery. #ableg #onyourown

Congratulations to climate champion Blake Desjarlais on winning in Edmonton Griesbach! Parliament just gained a powerful voice for climate justice. Booting Conservative Kerry Diotte, a longtime opponent of real climate action, is the icing on the cake. #ClimateAlliance #Elxn44

Police have now formally closed Ontario St as a precaution. Convoy rerouting up Brock St.
