So we ARE in the time space for recalls. However I just don’t have the energy to take this on. If there is anyone else in Danielle Smiths riding who wants to I’ll help out as much as I am able.

My grandkids are getting too old for such things but I had so much fun making these when they were younger. #showmeyourknits #knitsky #knitting 🧶

2 black knitted bats with pink silk ears and a loop on the bottom for hanging up.

Tiny knitted pumpkins with removable tops and a black tiny cat inside. Also tiny orange cat with a knitted ghost costume with the cat's ears poking out.

Canada Post is delivering again. One of my parcels that got stuck is tracking as “check back for updates”. This is the same notice I got after Christmas after they “lost” a Michael Kors purse I had ordered for my daughter’s Christmas present. I never received the purse or an explanation.

Alberta high school students organizing a free tutoring service for other high school students is peak activism. Please share far and wide. Many students can benefit from this. And think of the solidarity, community building, and friendship creating opportunities.

Oh my goodness!! Alberta High School IB students have organized a free tutoring service for the core subjects 🥹✊

The solidarity they have with each other and with their teachers is beyond anything I could have imagined.

Check out their Instagram page or website. Support them if you can!

A screenshot of a blue and white poster from Instagram. The account is called Locked In. The poster advertises free tutoring for grades 10-12 in all subjects by IB students including exam prep.

I suck at making yorkies. Rachel whips them up like it’s no big deal.

It really blows. Hopefully the government does the right thing. This is crazy.

From Demetrios Nicolaides Facebook. What, exactly, are the EAs supposed to be doing with no students in the school? Why does he think CUPE would allow their membership to cross ATA? He created this mess. He’s trying to sow even more division, make teacher look evil. This is BullShit.

WOW!

Alberta just got another approved referendum petition!

And this one calls for the practice of funding private schools with public money to be put to an end!

During the teachers strike!

Strap in Alberta, we’re going on a ride!

To fully appreciate how people can live in an absolute information free bubble, know that there were parents in Alberta who sent their kids to school today; some blissfully ignorant, some because of language barriers.

Also know the striking teachers sorted it out for parents.

Unpaid.

Back on the road. Spent the night with my oldest, saw my youngest and Miss Lyla (aaah, so CUTE!) and had salt and pepper wings with Caesar salad from Two Guys. So freakin good!
Next up is taking my brother into Calgary for an endoscopic ultrasound and biopsy. This will give us a solid diagnosis.

The Alberta government could, instead, choose to support the teachers.

But Danielle would rather tear our public education system apart to profit expensive private schools.

WE SUPPORT THE TEACHERS

I hate it when you try a new recipe and it turns out to be absolutely awful so you have to cook a second supper. I don’t even like cooking one supper, let alone 2 in one day. I don’t care what the recipe says coconut oil and beef don’t go together.

Money that the parents won’t see until the end of October. At $30 per day that works out to $5 per hour for a six hour day. Unless every family has 3 kids that’s not even minimum wage. Parents WILL be out of pocket and if they want reliable child care it’s going to be more than $5 an hour.

Utter contempt and disrespect from Bruce McAllister.

Cutting off the kid's mic and limiting his freedom of expression is one thing, but saying he should be spanked is a fireable offense from a supposedly neutral moderator. Bruce needs to be removed immediately.

The Breakdown AB @thebreakdownab.bsky.social · 20d

At tonight’s “consultation”…

When a high school kid tried to raise concerns about the teachers strike, Bruce McAllister cut the kids mic and then suggested his parents should have beaten him more.

Listen to the clip yourself…

It’s…

Telling.

Holy crap! At least if actual Canada Post employees were doing the rural routes instead of contractors we’d have a slightly higher chance of getting our mail.

Living in ymm we had community mailboxes. This was 11 years ago. Living rural we have community mailboxes that are serviced not by Canada Post but by independent contractors. Maybe you get your mail, maybe your neighbour gets your mail. No accountability. It’s been happening for years.
