Why do I run this anti-UCP account?
To be honest, the answer is: I wish I didn't have to! I'm busy! I have a job, kids, standard life stress, pandemic stress, etc. like everyone else out there, you are living your life the best you can in the circumstances you find you're in

The #UCP, with their callousness, and uncaring attitude towards Albertans has FORCED me to make a stand. To spend time out of my day to try and expose and show others the harm they are doing to us as Albertans, and truthfully, to Canada as well
I dont want to so this. I'd rather spend time with family, working, living! But this government is making me and others take hard looks at them and exposing them for what they really are. Now, the #UCP likely wish this wasn't the case. I've never in my life seen so much activism

Lets call a spade a spade. School is important. I want to see schools reopened also. But safely.
But what's not being said enough, is that part of the agenda driving schools to reopen, is to get parents back to work. 1/

I don't expect our government to say this, but in additions to building the foundations for our kids future, teachers also don't get the recognition they deserve in carrying our economy. Lets not pretend this isn't at least part of the UCP agenda in reopening schools. 2/
This makes it even more vitally important we do this right. In addition to our kids not being guinea pigs, it's just shortsighted to throw them back in school and hope for the best.

Two weeks tomorrow I go back to work. So here’s my two week thread. @AdrianaLaGrange @jkenney @CMOH_Alberta I know you’re banking on very few children getting sick. I hope with all my heart that you’re right. It’s a big gamble. #abed #ableg
However, there’s a very good chance that I, and many of my colleagues, will get sick. Some will get very sick. Some may die. Some of us will bring COVID home to our families.
You’ve given us masks, face shields and hand sanitizer, and that’s it. I need to beg you for two more things. I worry that we will have a critical shortage of substitute teachers. I see that some boards are already asking non-teachers to do that work.
The UCP has had 20 weeks to plan a safe reopening for Alberta schools. 20 weeks! But they’ve squandered that time and now students, teachers and parents are facing the likelihood of exposure and outbreaks. Read our very angry blog. #VeryWorriedAB #AbLeg afl.org/public_educati…
