The kids will be all right! Smaller dose, robust response, no myocarditis. No serious side effects. Should be available by Halloween. cnn.com/2021/09/20/hea…

Teachers, administrators, school boards and parents keep asking for increased measures to protect schools and students, such as bringing the need for back contact tracing. Looking for a response...Alberta Government

Get vaccinated

.Adriana LaGrange Jason Kenney 🇨🇦🇺🇦🇮🇱 United Conservative Party of Alberta Matt Wolf Now would be a good time to make an appearance and clear this 👇 up. Asking for 36,000 friends. #abed

This is scandalous. Education Minister Adriana LaGrange and Health Minister Jason Copping knew of outbreaks of COVID-19 in central Alberta schools last month, but didn’t tell parents or students. #ableg #COVID19AB 660citynews.com/2021/10/08/alb…

Alberta’s public education system is under attack. Our children and their futures are at risk. Parents and teachers are fighting back. Join us. StandForEducation.ca #abed #ableg #StandForEducation

There are >250,000 Alberta children under 5 who are ineligible for the vaccine. They have no protection. Anyone saying nothing more can be done at this point to manage omicron is essentially saying we give up on protecting these children. No. Just no. #ableg

No N95s. No HEPA filters. No new mental health supports. No support for hiring more sub teachers. And rapid tests won’t be fully distributed until a week after schools re-open. So to answer the question of whether the UCP will make schools safer? No. #ableg #abed

This announcement is way too much, too soon. The immediate & abrupt removal of school masking (which was basically the only protection let’s be honest) within days throws schools into chaos & traps students in unsafe environment. Kids under 5 still have no vaccine. Unreal. #AB

Abruptly removing remaining protections for children in schools in 6 days is not Freedom. This is endangering students and families and education workers who have no other choices.

A lot to process after Kenney announcement today. My first thought, we went from “will provide high-grade surgical masks to all school kids because Omicron is so transmissible” to “get rid of all masks in schools” real quick and with no parent consultation.

The same Jason Kenney 🇨🇦🇺🇦 who has a long and sordid history of homophobia and discrimination against the queer community compared the demonization of nonvaccinated Albertans with those demonized during the AIDS crisis. This is not a leader, Alberta. 2023 can’t come soon enough. #ableg

So last summer Boards have autonomy and accountability around Covid protocols? Tonight that seems to disappear, undermining everYthing. Consulting those working day in and day out in schools was the bare minimum government could do, yet that didn’t happen, again.

Despite growing evidence that standardized testing does nothing to improve outcomes, the UCP will bring in standardized testing for grade 1 & 2. What those 6 and 7 year olds actually need is more teachers. #AbLeg #AbEd

Fewer teachers, fewer EAs, larger class sizes. Students - particularly those with disabilities - are paying the price, even while the UCP has a big surplus. This is a terrible legacy. Invest in students, invest in Alberta. #ableg #abed cbc.ca/news/canada/ed…

Nobody has ever been more surprised than a husband hearing about his wife's plans for the second time.

Moderna has been approved in Canada for the under 5 group. Give us a second while we ugly cry.

Albertans can finally book their under 5 on August 2nd. You can pre-register your children here bookvaccine.alberta.ca if you haven't already to make the booking process go smoother on Tuesday.

Hard keeping my mouth sewn shut about this one. ⚔️

Eligible Albertans (parents, seniors who don't get Alberta Seniors Benefit) please note you must apply for the $600 payment starting Jan 18. I don't want this to fail but this seems a very strange way of proceeding. Let's spread the world and make sure no one misses out!
