The best part of this is Johnny’s calm reassurance to his reply people that his math is correct.
Like many, I am appalled by the AB election results. But I think we need to stop talking about the NDP’s missteps (or lack thereof) as if this was a game we watched. WE were the voters and this is our collective moral failure to stand up to bigotry.
I hate when people say: “I don’t care who you vote for, just vote.” F that. I care. Don’t vote for the party that calls trans kids pieces of shit.
Some UCP supporters are spreading untruths about me personally. I feel I must defend myself and clear the air of these lies...
“All labor has dignity … it is a crime for people to live in this rich nation and receive starvation wages.” Today is Dr. Martin Luther King Jr's birthday
This burnout that secure scholars are feeling is phantom pain where their colleagues should be. Or, to use a term that every other worker in the US uses to describe their workplace under these conditions: you are suffering from the effects of intentional systemic understaffing.

Pressure works. Let's keep going. #onpoli
What @CUPEOntario workers are fighting for is not just more money. They are standing up because they believe workers should have a share of power over their work and lives. We ALL should stand up for that #onted
"The main problem may well be that we elect utterly unfit people to public office, but since that seems to be the growing trend in the western world then it’s time to recognize we need better protection against those vile incompetents who claim to lead us" emmettmacfarlane.substack.com/p/doug-ford-an…
Yes to all of this. Every worker has the right to organize and to bargain collectively. The Ontario gov undermines the rights of EVERY Canadian worker. #IStandWithCUPE

The elimination of the ministries of women and labour is sexist as hell. In AB, organized labour is consistently feminized. Women-dominated professions (teaching, nursing, etc.) are often unionized, and the gov. treats them as weak and whiny. Labour is a feminist issue #ableg
The best thing our political leaders can do for the economy? Protect the reputation and brand of the province or city. Speak intelligently. Express values of respect and inclusion. Build bridges. Be kind. Is that too much to ask?

This is not love. This is not support. This is something 99% of Albertans weren’t asking for. This speaks volumes to 🏳️⚧️ kids. 1% can decide what happens to your body. I hope this ends up in court.
Gender identity can be a hard thing to talk about, especially when you are involved. But this conversation is extremely important and parental involvement is critical. Kids need to know we love and support them. My message to all Albertans:
@ABDanielleSmith I wish it were true that parents support their #trans kids but evidence (and my clinical experience) shows they often end up precariously housed if forced to out themselves in this way. Mature minors should not have to face this risk. It’s so disappointing and dangerous.

Danielle Smith's assertion that Alberta "subsidizes the [CPP] for the rest of the country" highlights the degree to which she has no understanding of how CPP works. You pay in while you work, you receive a benefit when you retire. Nobody is subsidizing anybody.
