And this was 6 years ago...

A disproportionate # of women are forced into this decision making scenario. The necessary policy response is obvious --> Provide appropriate supports so women/mothers/parents are not placed in this position. The consequences are significantly more costly. SNAP = SROI #FoodPolicy

Premier Notley states: "Be reasonable, stick to the issues, deliver the message in a reasonable fact based way"
Gr8 advice, Premier!
Facts:
1. Poor/Vulnerable in Calgary need us to be growing!
2. #Surplus is not required to construct WRR.

Plz read this tweet from Ty, Premier @RachelNotley. Tommy Douglas founded CCF/NDP on the principles espoused here. Your Gov is attempting to destroy a community #farm for no reason. We give all of our #Food to the least fortunate. @RealKiefer #ableg #cdnpoli #yyc #poverty

The Alberta Gov is attempting to shut down Grow Calgary, a farm that grows food & gives it away to organizations that help homeless, Veterans, low income & often traumatized individuals & families in Southern Alberta.... change.org/p/premier-notley-…
