Here at Edmonton’s Sacred Heart of the First Peoples Church where @Pontifex will visit Monday. Streets are blocked off & stationed with police. This area is usually filled with homeless people, most of them Indigenous, but it’s been cleared out…

Education & healthcare are at a breaking point. Prices for food/utilities/gas etc. are untenable. We need safe injection sites & mental health supports & more. Ppl are struggling. I’ll vote NDP, but the comms strategy needs work. Dunking on Kenney isn’t enough to win an election.
No more white-linen dinners on the Sky Palace patio for the Premier and his friends. Alberta's NDP will make the infamous top floor of the Federal Building open for rent for free by non-profits, community and cultural groups. #ableg #yyc #yeg

Interesting to read this thread right after the UCP has increased funding for charter schools in Alberta. Feels like a glimpse into a future I don’t want.

Here’s how charter schools negatively impact traditional, neighborhood schools and dismantle public education:

I’ve been tagged in a few Black History Month tweets re: the poster series that’s on my TPT. Always dope to see them in schools, but just want to make a PSA that they couldn’t have been created without the direction and writing skills of @SAdomakoAnsah. I only did the drawings :)

Did I mention she’s also the current Educator in Residence at the Canadian Museum for Human Rights? She’s kind of a bad ass, so definitely give her some love šŸ‘šŸ¼ Oh, and she’s also the co-founder of the @btassociation_, and they’re doing some pretty cool stuff this month. šŸ˜‰

Are you Indigenous? Thinking of becoming a teacher? Do it. We need more Indigenous teachers in the education system šŸ™ŒšŸ¾.

Talking about white supremacy is not divisive. What is actually divisive is white supremacy.

In collaboration with the @btassociation_ We are planning the first ever #BSASummit for February 2022! In the next few weeks we’ll be reaching out to BSA’s in #AB vendors, sponsors, presenters, & leaders in the community. Teachers, allies, community, let’s connect!

Folks attacking teachers act like our goal is to work remotely. In reality, teaching online is both more work far less joy. We don’t want to teach online—we just want ourselves, our students, our families to be safe. We could be fighting for safe in-person schooling together!

I hate online teaching. For myself and for my students. But do you know what I hate more? Knowing Omicron will likely rip through the unboosted/unvaccinated populations of students in mere weeks and worrying how many will have severe outcomes or long Covid. We need a plan NOW.

I have two questions: 1) Are white men okay? 2) How do you decide who is alpha of the alphas? Do they take turns?

If the World Juniors are getting cancelled bc of COVID, I struggle to see how AB schools stay open. This tourny had all the time/money/effort invested & it still spread. Schools have way less resources. Kenney needs to make a decision now to give teachers & families time to prep.

I’m at the point of Christmas where I almost wish I had COVID so I had an excuse to isolate. (This is a joke & I don’t wish COVID on any1. I love my family, but extra ppl is rough as an ADHD’er prone to sensory overload. the unresolved tension of being the eldest daughter šŸ™ƒ)

A teacher being removed from an elementary classroom for wearing a hijab should make *every single* Canadian angry, not just Muslim Canadians.

This is disgusting @CCSD_edu
As a dad who regularly experiences racism, yesterday’s CCSD Parent Trustee Forum was triggering. Racism is a system level problem. Yet the approach of @CCSD_edu was to use individual ā€œcourageous conversationsā€ to solve this problem.
