Sometimes dreams do come true. I’ve loved books and bookstores and libraries since I was a wee kiddo, and I dreamed that one day maybe I could make something that would be on the shelves. Grateful and proud to be an author and editor with two book babes 🤩📚

UCP corruption round up 👇🏽👇🏼
Tour de force of investigative journalism here. Globe obtained evidence and made connections that Judge Wyant did not. Also, Globe confirmed former Edmonton Police Chief Dale McFee was guest of Sam Mraiche at Oilers game. EPS failed to be forthright with me when I raised this in a previous story. 1

Interesting choice of words from Danielle “not a ban *nervous laugh* it’s not a ban” Smith
Interesting to hear Danielle Smith refer to the removal of explicit books from school librairies as a *ban* (her word), after the government insisted it wasn't a ban.

Listening to Liberals trying to explain themselves on Power & Politics today is an exercise in absurdity. 🤣 WTF are you guys talking about? How can you not understand that excluding BC and First Nations from discussions made public opinion worse? Actually embarrassing. #cdnpoli #abpoli #bcpoli

Dear UCP, can you do one thing, anything, to make life better? NO, the answer is NO. Literally EVERYTHING you do makes things more complicated and expensive. You are obviously as bad at cutting red tape as you are at being libertarians. #ableg #abpoli #abhealth medicinehatnews.com/news/local-n...

Premier Danielle Smith hates children, hates women, and hates families. She hates a lot of other people too, but all of this talk about protecting kids and helping families is utter bullshit. EVERYTHING she does makes it harder to be a child and harder to be a mother. #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli

Good morning.
If you live in Alberta, you should know that today your government will invoke the notwithstanding clause to wage war against transgender Albertans.
Not because transgender persons are harmful, but because the UCP is distracting you from their mountain of failures.

A gorgeous articulation. 💔❤️
Alice Wong taught us that disabled people don’t just leave memories behind—they leave infrastructure. Lineages of care. Methods of collectivity, survival. She named the connective tissue that holds our communities together, even across death, even across the losses that come too fast and too often.

“To be totally blunt, this ‘emergency’ notice of motion to end the raising of foreign flags at Calgary’s city hall is peak white supremacy.” #yyccc #yyc
Did I raise the specter of white supremacy in writing this? Sure did! Dozens of flag-raisings happen annually and nobody bats an eye. But when the Palestinian community finally gets its turn, everybody loses their minds. #yyc
