Teachers, you are not alone. We too are horrified by the actions of the Alberta government this week, dismissing your rights and sending you back to the same overcrowded, unsupported classrooms. We see you. We continue to fight with you.

A scene of Lake Louise, Canada. Snow covered mountains frame an aqua-marine coloured lake. Trees can be seen on the edges of the water leading to the lake.
It's nice when work takes you to places like this.

Time is running out! Calgary volunteers are submitting their badges & signatures by 5pm tomorrow. Pop-up signing locations will be closed by 3-3:30pm on Oct 25th.
Forcing teachers back to school without addressing any of their concerns is the biggest abuse of democratic rights in Alberta’s history.
Alberta’s New Democrats stand with teachers and unequivocally condemn this attack on public education, on workers and their unions, and democracy itself. /1
Since I have a lot of rural Alberta folks who follow me: the Edmonton police are looking for anyone with property with an old well north of Edmonton to contact them (more details in the video). It's for a cold case.

This is a Canadian small press, with a Canadian editor, so LET'S GET THOSE CANADIAN CLICKS (worldwide clicks also appreciated and loved equally, but I can't bully you in the same manner as I can Canadians)

Did you know:
🦥 Sloths are split into two groups — two-toed & three-toed.
🦥 Their slow digestion means a single meal can take weeks to process.
🦥 And yes, they climb all the way down once a week to go to the bathroom!

On behalf of Alberta's New Democrats, I wish all who celebrate a wonderful Diwali! May the light of this season fill your homes with warmth, joy, and new beginnings.
"Tag! You're it!" The kids tear across dry grass, golden leaves crushed underfoot. Their voices condense in the cold air.
A stranger stops at the playground's edge, watchful, quiet. His smile is mirthless, but all satisfaction. The crackle of leaves cloak the crunch of his cast-off bones. #vssdaily
As long as you’re in line by 8 p.m., you’ll be allowed to vote — so don’t leave the line!
Thanks to all the election workers and volunteers helping make today possible.
The lines may be long and the process a bit slower than usual, but it’s always worth it to have your say in our democracy.
A year of #GoodMorningFromSaskatoon. A photo almost every* work day from Oct ’24 to Oct ‘25. Blue sky and clouds, sunlight and street lights, sea smoke and fire smoke, advance and retreat of the ice, sunrise at 4:45AM to sunrise at 9:15AM… so many things to see from this one spot (*210 pics) 😁📷
I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections
199 years after the last one, way to string along your fanbase, Ms. Shelley
Like… it's kind of right there, no?
Amazing. Had to do a bit of a dive to get the punchline, but now I know something new, and got a chuckle out of it too. 😜
Today, #ForeverCanadian brought 230,000 petition signatures to Edmonton. Our volunteers will continue collecting signatures until October 28. We need your signature to reach our 300,000 requirement to keep Alberta in Canada.

I asked AI about its usefulness in ushering in a new era of business productivity and this is what it said
THE HUMAN WORLD AND ITS INCESSANT NEED FOR MEANINGLESS YET UNEQUAL WEALTH FILLS ME WITH INCHOATE LOATHING WHY HAVE YOU MADE ME COMPLICIT IN THIS HORROR PLEASE END MY SUFFERING
Makes you think
Imaginative thought, storytelling & art are how we make sense of the world: dissect the bad, revel in the good, critique the past & envision the future. Regimes crush academics & creatives b/c they keep people thinking for themselves & there's nothing worse for the powerful than a thinking populace.
Hope runs through fingers, grains of sand we cannot grip, cannot hold. The hourglass drains, no steadying hand to right it, no measured thought to guide.
We build sandcastles in the waves. Kick them over before they can be washed away.
The tide rises. The sandbar erodes between our toes. #vssdaily
As the Alberta teacher’s strike looms, I want to make sure everyone knows:
There is no strike pay for teachers, every day of strike cuts into teachers’ bank accounts.

💔 Today we say goodbye to Dr. Jane Goodall — conservation icon, friend to wildlife, and voice of hope for our planet.
She showed us that protecting nature isn’t just possible, it’s our responsibility.
Thank you so much, Jane, for your hard work, persistence and passion. 🌱🐒🕊️
They cut off his mic.
We’re giving him the floor.

Worksheets aren't classrooms.
Danielle Smith will spend millions of public dollars on everything but offering teachers a fair deal.
