“I don’t think anyone was thinking I’d have the resources to fight back,” Mr. Pike said Monday. “The support I’ve received has been overwhelming. If not for that support, I’d be all kinds of screwed.” #ableg #abpoli www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/alber...

Alberta is not listed among provinces that have committed to not clawing back the new Canada Disability Benefit. If not exempt, provincial benefits would be reduced dollar-for-dollar, leaving Alberta recipients no better off. #ableg #abpoli

Great to connect over lunch and discuss the future of Alberta’s non-profit sector this afternoon! Non-profits are at the heart of our communities and deserve a government that listens and supports their vital work. Thanks for having me, Edmonton Chamber of Voluntary Organizations!

Hi, just a reminder that when you use Libro.fm for your audiobooks, you support independent bookshops vs. large corporations that drive them out of business. We also pay taxes. And so do indie bookshops.

One thing I do not want to get lost are changes under Bill 38, Red Tape Reduction Statutes Amendment Act. It changes what the OCYA can and must report. Her office must report on deaths under the age of 18, but will only have discretion to report up to the age of 20 minus a day...

Great summary👇 Premier Smith is corrupt or incompetent. Either way, she must resign. A bribe, ie. tax cut, meant to distract AB from UCP #corruptcare scandal alleging political interference, intimidation, overpriced privatization contracts & kickbacks. #abpoli #ableg youtu.be/PDg4H_hF594?...

UCP Minister Dan Williams says he's confident that, since he's become Minister, everything in his ministry has been above board, so he will not review anything. Also will not review things prior to him becoming Minister unless there is "reason for concern". Seriously!?! #ableg #abpoli

Seems to me Danielle Smith knows there's more corruption, but is trying to cover it up. Otherwise, why wouldn't you review considering everything that's been discovered so far? "Of course we want to know if it's true", yet won't ask ministries to review connections to Mraiche. #ableg #abpoli

i say this as someone who does research in this field: is it that "no one has any good idea of what to do about it" or that the people with good, effective ideas are ignored and drowned out by people with terrible ideas?

The 1923 Oregon legislature was colloquially known as the "Klan legislature" because the majority of members were either Klan members or sympathizers. One bill they passed required that history education be suitably patriotic, outlawing materials that spoke "slightingly" of the founders.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.
