With every job I’ve had I needed to request vacation and get it approved. When I was a cabinet minister I had to tell the premier’s office where I would be and how they could reach me before it was allowed. This is standard. @jkenney has shown no leadership. #ableg #COVID19

Omg. It was an intense day of terrible #ABbudget news but then I walked out of the #ableg and joined thousands of people (including babies and puppies) in protest and then @kdlang wrote me back on Twitter. ❤️ Tank refuelled. Bring it on @jkenney .

. @ABDanielleSmith has spent several days justifying her appalling remarks about Vladimir Putin’s unprovoked invasion of Ukraine, and over those days she has caused great pain to Ukrainian Albertans, and great damage to Alberta’s reputation across Canada and internationally. 1/2

Adriana LaGrange claimed she listened to Albertans' feedback on this curriculum. If that was the case then the entire K-6 rewrite would have been put in the trash and we wouldn’t see it being forced on schools this fall. #AbEd #AbLeg 🧵 1/5

I shouldn’t have to say this, but standing up for students isn’t a personal attack… it’s my job. And it’s the minister’s job too. #ableg #abed

I'm putting forward a motion for an emergency debate this afternoon on the lack of support for this new curriculum. Will @jkenney allow the debate? Will he listen to Albertans who are overwhelming opposed to his agenda? #abedfails #abed #KidsDeserveBetter

Parents asked for more educational assistants, more investments in air filtration, and more support for students being left behind... in true UCP fashion, we got nothing of the sort. #AbLeg #ThroneSpeech

I am incredibly proud to have worked alongside @RachelNotley for the past 16 years and put our social democratic values into action. She has been a friend, a mentor, and an example to so many of us.

So #AbBudget jacks up school fees and education property taxes… more than $100m. This makes life less affordable at a time when the UCP has made so many things more expensive already: insurance and power bills are top of mind. #ableg #abed

Add teachers to the list of people taking the UCP Government of Alberta to court. Your pension is yours. #ableg #abed

Teachers association to take legal action against Alberta government over pension dispute | CBC News

The Alberta Teachers' Association says it will be taking the government to court over a ministerial order signed last month that they say gives teachers less control over their pensions.

So many UCP MLAs say they are working to defeat Jason Kenney in their leadership review. But why wait? They can defeat him tomorrow if they defeat his budget. That budget taxes inflation, makes life less affordable, and harms public healthcare and education. #ableg #abpoli

For the record... I’ve never seen teachers (and all school staff) this exhausted on October 1. Classrooms are overcrowded, thousands of students have had their learning interrupted and special needs students deserve more support. #abed #ableg #covid19

Just got out of #ableg Public Health Act Committee. @CMOH_Alberta made it really clear that her job is to advise the government in private. @AdrianaLaGrange and @jkenney make decisions about schools being safe or not. They blame the Dr. but the buck stops with them. #abed

Just heard the Premier try to justify the $45k on London trips. He said the advisor paid for things out of pocket. I know teachers who do this every day and don’t expect #ableg to bankroll 5 star hotels and campaign parties for them. Ps he makes $200k/yr too.
