Disheartened, retired teacher living in Alberta. “Don't give up! I believe in you all. A person's a person, no matter how small! And you very small persons will not have to die. If you make yourselves heard! So come on, now, and TRY!” Horton Hears A Who

Former senior AHS execs told me they fear the healthcare system is like Humpty Dumpty: so broke it can't be put back together again. Sources say UCP spending a fortune on consultants for rushed fixes to serious organizational problems LaGrange et al were warned would happen, but ignored the advice.

If Danielle Smith wants Albertans to pay to see a doctor, she should call the election.
Albertans have had enough of the UCP, and they want change. Alberta's New Democrats are ready.

Maybe - here’s a thought - if we had more trained teacher-librarians in our libraries, we could help students find age appropriate books, and help older kids to process the emotions and questions raised by challenging material?

Teachers are being told to make do with overcrowded classrooms and zero support while the UCP refuses to fund new schools or plan for growth.
It's not neglect. It’s a conscious choice.
And it’s failing Alberta’s kids.
