And still, we show up for our kids every day.

A teacher’s working conditions are your child’s learning conditions. When teachers struggle, students suffer. We’re losing great educators and burning out the ones who stay

Classrooms are harder to manage than ever. Some Edmonton high school teachers have up to 56 students in one class. Student needs are growing, but supports aren’t. Violence is increasing. Resources are stretched thin. Teachers are working longer hours for less pay.

When teachers ask for more, here’s why.

In 12 years, Alberta teachers have gotten a 5.87% raise while the cost of living has risen over 30%. That means they’re making less in real dollars every year.

Quebec students are planning a “strike” over proposed changes to school cell phone policies. Across the board, youth are going to great lengths to keep devices close, even during class. When resistance is this strong, are we facing habit or addiction? #EdChat #DigitalWellness

Some students plan to stage walkout to protest Quebec’s new cellphone ban in schools

Oh, so Bill 54 in Alberta is here to “help” the UCP “win” elections. Because why leave it to the voters when you can just… make the rules?
I’m sure this will be great for democracy. Totally.

Another platform. Yelling into one abyss wasn’t enough for my delicate sense of purpose.
I’m here.
Follow me for chaotic musings, unsolicited takes, and the unraveling of my identity.
It’s like a TED Talk, but with more existential dread and fewer credentials.

Pierre Poilievre refuses a security clearance so the Liberals can’t “silence” him but without it, he’s already in the dark. How can you speak truth to power when you don’t even know the facts?

Pierre Poilievre should skip politics and work at an ad agency—he’s the king of catchy slogans that say a lot but mean nothing. All branding, no substance.

Rare moment: I actually agree with Danielle Smith stated that Poilievre is “in sync with America’s new direction,” that’s exactly why we can’t let him win. Let’s make Carney our next PM. #StopPoilievre #CarneyForPM
