As a woman, I am not interested in the party which put an older white man overseeing Status of Women.

I'm not interested in a party willing to continue to fund an internationally embarrassing war room chasing Netflix's Bigfoot yet REFUSE to adequately fund #WomensShelters even knowing 11k women *let alone their kids* were turned away in AB in 2022 alone due to lack of funding..3
Have young mom with an 11 month & 4 yr old on the street. Directed her to call Emergency Social Services, (Alberta Benefits) The same worker continues to answer & hangs up on this mom. I 3way'd called with mom & identified myself(politely). He demanded I hang up...#ableg #Abpoli
...up. When I state I was her advocate(Politely & with respect), he said I was being "abusive" & hung up on me & mom. I am going to now call Child welfare as the children are hot & dehydrated & now imminent harm. #Abpoli #Ableg
Child Welfare was able to help, via a somewhat long conversation they had with Income support while mom and I were on hold. Income support needs to understand when children are at risk, hanging up for little or no reasons is not what #Albertans expect from their public service.
1/ Helping a mother of two small children(A victim of domestic violence) who has been immediately evicted from a 2nd stage shelter(In theory, a more supportive long term housing program). Mom has no where to go. I am helping her to get an emergency motel room. #ableg #abpoli
Let's talk about the hatred towards Trudeau a little bit here. I doubt this Tweet will get much attention but I want to air this frustration I have, particularly with #Albertans over the age of 50 who are triggered into rage everytime you say "Trudeau".

I grew up in a conservative home, surrounded by those who worked in O&G and saw the fall out of the National Energy Program. I have heard the stories over & over of the economic collapse it created in Alberta.
I have been raised with the dogma that Trudeau = Satan

Justin Trudeau arrived and this man was doomed from Day 1 in Alberta. How many times have I heard "he's a draaammmma teacher 🙄", and yet these same people voted in a Bible college dropout?

I don't know their names, I don't know their stories.
But I know they were #Albertans I know they were someone's neighbour, someone's best friend, someone's partner, and someone's family. I know they were one of us. A member of our community. I know they were loved.

I know it shouldn't be this way. I know we can protect each other. I know we have the tools.
We need to start using them. Normalizing the loss, is not normal. Living with #COVID19AB is not living, it is killing and collapsing and crushing.

Our society is not serving its citizens. Our citizens are being sacrificed for an ideologically driven narrative that has turned our losses into statistics. Policy is handing out death sentences, and I refuse to understand why.

I am really troubled by the recommendation that symptomatic people move to rapid testing at home rather than government administered PCR. #abhealth #COVID19AB
It makes perfect sense to move to government administered rapid testing and only PCR test negatives. This would allow official recording of positive rapid tests and spare our lab system. #abhealth #COVID19AB
If there is no official COVID positive result, how will workers who acquire COVID at work be eligible for WCB? #abhealth #COVID19AB

'This whole thing STINKS' - Mayor Craig Snodgrass from the @TownOfHighRiver talking about the @UCPCaucus decision to recisnd the 1976 coal policy without consultation with #Albertans last night in council meeting.

He also discussed the lack of transparency, environmental concerns, royalties, etc. The council then unanimously voted to send a letter to @jkenney requesting the IMMEDIATE reinstatement of the coal policy and which was rescinded on June 1 , 2020.
Further more, requesting that the Government Of Alberta
begin public consultation with Indigenous groups, Environmental Groups and all Albertans on any proposed revisions or replacement of this policy.
THANK YOU Mayor and council of @TownOfHighRiver!

I took a drive down the 22 yesterday to check out a #monolith that popped up in the Crowsnest Pass area! Went to investigate, left realizing the @UCPCaucus is likely involved, in a bad way, as usual

If you haven't driven down the 22, it is gorgeous - rolling foothills, streams cutting through picturesque ranch land, and a rugged mountain landscape background. Near Maycroft provincial park, right near the Crowsnest pass is where this thing stands, approx. 12 feet tall.
It sounds like the Tin Man from Oz when you knock on it and looks to be made of shiny sheet metal. Seems to be mounted firmly into the ground, with no visible supports

At the end of 96h in 8d on service and have been all over ED and multiple COVID units. Anger/frustration increasing daily from all MDs, nurses, staff in here at lack of vaccinations while watching others w no #COVID19 exposure/risk getting theirs.

We spent months in the Spring working w many Dept. of Med colleagues working on an #MD workforce expansion plan specifically b/c there are not enough #hospitalists and #internists to handle pt. volumes.
Each day of delay further demoralizes an already exhausted workforce.

Jen here, I am currently waiting for my car 2 warm up 2 be able 2 drive 2 a home in #Martindale to pick up & drive a mom & young son to the Children’s Hospital.
She needed a ride & did not have enough money to pay for a cab.
So the #volunteer on call called me for #help. #YYC

So soon I will be heading to the Children’s Hospital 🏥 & hoping that this young mans eardrum did not burst, as his mom said that this will be his 4th or 5th ear infection just this year. Mom is alone here in #YYC as she just moved here from #GrandPrairie in January of this year.
Now the #car is #warm & I’m off! I will #update everyone after I am back home! #HelpingOthers #DoAGoodDeed #community #Support #YYCCares #AlbertaCares #CalgaryCares #CanadaCares
Please share this far & wide! Both @ParachutesP & @HarvestHillsYYC are trying to raise funds to help humans & pets this Christmas & beyond.
The amount of people needing a helping hand especially since the start of the #COVID19AB & #COVID19 pandemic has risen as each day goes by.

**Help IS Desperately NEEDED** **Emergency HELP**
This is very hard for us to write. But we feel we have no other choice due to us seeing the massive amount of requests that we are getting daily for both Humans and Pets.
Here is what has happened as of late:

Here is what has happened as of late:
This past weekend alone, we had over 30 emergency requests from individuals & families fleeing domestic violence. Many leaving with nothing but the clothes on their backs.
We were able to help about 17 of these individuals find shelter and lodging via referrals to other groups.

The other 13 individuals are being helped by our awesome volunteers. We are tracking down emergency funding and helping them apply for help through various organizations here in #Calgary.
We will be assisting them and their families in hopes of helping them feel safe once again.

The federal #COVIDAlert app is 100x more effective, is FREE, provides instant contact tracing and LITERALLY all that is required is for @jkenney and @shandro to state that @AHS_media can use it.

Some history:
The #ABtracetogether app was copied by @Deloitte from an open source project initially created in Singapore. The #COVIDAlert app was created by volunteers from @Shopify and @BlackBerry and handed over to the Canada Digital Services team @CDS_GC who now maintain it.

As much as I'm sure he'd love to take claim for it, contrary to what our @Alberta_UCP has mentioned, the #COVIDAlert app is NOT "a @JustinTrudeau app".
Justin didn't make it.
It's a #Canadian app. Built by Canadians. For #Canadians. 🇨🇦 👏

If you can help @HarvestHillsYYC Please do. They're unfairly being targeted by UCP Conservative Party Trolls & are being harassed by people who are going after their organization.
They've even gone as far as demanding Jenn retract any & all statements she made in regards to being critical of the current Alberta Government.
We are indeed dealing with a cruel & heartless government.

The @Alberta_UCP can't see the damage that is being done to the province that I & others love so much. From Doctors to Parks, Everything is being attacked.

I identify as centrist. Every fed election since 18 I have voted Liberal. That option will never fly in AB even though many voters fit there. Which leader currently has highest popularity?? Fed Liberal. The central one. WTF AB. Quit attacking centrists. It is not helping.

I support a strong private economy. That often involves tax policies which support business. I support small/med business over large corporations. Tax the bigger ones more. Help the smaller ones.
I support O&G (NOT as the only resource) & definitely a move to Green Energy. /2

I support publicly funded essential services & social safety nets. Public ed & public hc. With the reality that currently not all kids fit within public education. I support the child first as we work towards a more #InclusiveEducation. This takes collaboration at all levels. /3

Today was a long and busy day.
16 Food hampers went out and were delivered! Just drained and frustrated as yet another mom was on my mind all day today.
Racism and bullying was on my mind today too. There were times when I pulled over after a delivery and just cried.

My emotions were all over the place. I went through the gamut of feelings but most of all I was angry.
Now I understand that government agencies have mandates to work under. However they also have discretion and emergency funding to help people.

Over the last few days I’ve gotten calls at all hours of the day/night from people feeling dejected 😔 depressed and hopeless.
What spurs me on....what keeps me and my team going is helping. Helping others. Even if it is only something simple as listening.

Having to choose between Food and any of the above items should not happen and isnt right.
Simply giving someone, a family, a couple, a senior food security for even just a month...takes immense stress off of a person.
