1/ The issue of hungry children was rare in my 35 years of supporting vulnerable people. #abpoli

2/ But since COVID, combined with inflation, a minimum wage that remains frozen at $15/hr (the lowest in Canada), and cutbacks to income support and other provincial programs, I’m now seeing not just hunger among children, but starvation. Emaciated children. #abpoli

3/ And if you witness this, you're a Dr or social worker, see what happens when parents call Emergency Social Services or Income Support. The apathy and meagre assistance offered is disgusting. #abpoli

The Government of Alberta is looking for input on the upcoming budget. Visit abteach.cc/BudgetSurvey and tell them to properly fund public education.

The UCP government have been in power for SIX years.

Now, ask yourself:

⬇️ Is your healthcare better?
⬇️ Is your cost of living lower?
⬇️ Is your rent or mortgage more affordable?
⬇️ Is our education system stronger?

What, honestly, is better now than it was six years ago?

From the DM's...

This is an email that is reportedly a complaint letter to Elections Alberta that seems to make some very serious allegations...

Given the degree to which the UCP have alleged ill intent in the recall process, this needs to be addressed quickly.

Since Scott Cyr wants AI to audit the UCP…

We asked chatGPT a simple question…

“On a scale of 1-10, how corrupt is the UCP government in Alberta?”

7/10

I was in first year university when these women were killed in an anti-feminist attack at École Polytechnique de Montréal. Most of the victims were engineering students, along with one employee. This is why I care about representation. I earned it so did they.

Half a million in sole sourced contracts to a company with multiple former government staffers?

Is that what they mean by brand consistency?

So Alberta's latest proposed law would:

👉 Take power over citizen-led referendums from the chief electoral officer & give it to cabinet.

👉 Ban new political parties from using certain words in their names, including: 'conservative,' 'democratic,' 'liberal,' 'Republican,' and 'wild rose.'

Alberta attacking the charter to shield anti-trans laws? Bill 9.

Quebec's push to force anyone wearing religious symbols from public life? Bill 9.

Federal bid to "combat hate" that could stifle pro-Palestine advocacy? Bill C-9

No more Bill 9s until we figure out what the fuck is going ON!!!!

UCP MLA says via email that the decision to use the notwithstanding clause was not just about getting students into classrooms...

The UCP were worried that arbitration would cost them "hundreds of millions, potentially billions".

$500M in public money went to Algoma Steel and now 1,000+ jobs are gone. The Liberals say they support workers, but this is what happens when their bailouts reward corporations instead of families. We need federal projects using Canadian steel and stronger EI for workers who get left behind.

Picked up a disabled woman last night who was told to go to a shelter. She states that she has been sexually assaulted and refuses the shelter. An emergency social worker wouldn't do anything else for her.

Thanks to your donations, I was able to get her a room and some food.
