Last year, the UCP government asked Albertans about having political parties involved in local government. The survey happened from November 7 to December 6. Guess what? More than 70% of the folks who answered didn't like the idea! They were worried that it might make things

Happy to hear about this reversal from the Minister. The right decision. And thanks to my colleagues on #yyccc and #yegcc in standing united against the proposed cut. A win for those who need it most in both cities. #ableg

FCM stands with Alberta Municipalities | Strength in Members and Rural Municipalities of Alberta in expressing concern about Alberta’s Bill-20. This bill threatens to undermine municipal autonomy in a way that could make it harder for local governments to serve Canadians.

Early this morning #UAlberta called in Edmonton Police to violently clear an entirely peaceful and beautifully communal encampment set up by students to demand that University of Alberta divest from companies complicit in Israeli apartheid and genocide. Shameful. 1/

Early this morning, the Edmonton Police used violence and force to sweep the encampments set up in support of Palestine at the U of A. I was there yesterday. I left feeling hopeful and inspired by the young activists. I’m disgusted and I’m angry. And I won’t be silent.

Tim Cartmell is on the media circuit because he really wants you to know that he doesn't ever attempt to do the job he already has. If only someone could have asked more detailed questions before Tim Cartmell voted in favour of these projects!

Does anyone affected by the Jasper evacuation need free camping in Salmon Arm today/tonight? Dry camping but we have 24/7 bathrooms. DM me please.

Every single budget amendment has been tabled. Tim Cartmell has proposed not a single reduction. Remember that when he votes against the budget later this week saying it's "too high". He was in the room where it happened, but he missed his shot.

Education support workers in Alberta haven't seen a raise in over a decade. They've fallen too far behind. It's not fair to keep pushing shortfalls onto students and the staff they rely on. #ableg #abpoli #supporteducationworkers #ablab #paintabpurple

Jason Kenney froze MLA salaries. Now, the UCP wants to increase them. Not only that, they wants to index them to inflation. Meanwhile, education support workers are dealing with between 8 and 10 years of wage freezes and proposed wages under inflation.

❗Breaking: Alberta minister quietly lifted the coal moratorium (again), meaning Albertans are about to see a lot more coal activity in our mountains. This reverts protections and lifts the suspensions on any approvals paused under the previous orders.

Here is the list received today. It includes true masterpieces of literature, humanity and art. School Boards must reject the UCP’s directive. And it’s incumbent on all of us to proclaim the freedom to read. #ableg

Congratulations to Andrew Knack This is a win for #yegcc and underscores that we do not want parties in our municipal politics! He was the best choice and I look forward to being lead by someone who values information accuracy, real solutions and continuous learning.
