A long thread...but I am so done. Today I live in a province where @UCPCaucus is more concerned with a Netflix film about #Bigfoot than the FACT that 1000 people in our largest city lost their jobs in O&G this week. #ableg #cdnpoli #RealTalkRJ
I live in a province where the @UCPCaucus thinks we believe that they have properly funded education and healthcare since they came into power despite classrooms bursting at the seams and a rural hospital fundraising for toilets. #ableg #cdnpoli
I live in a province where the @UCPCaucus thinks we support them taking from those on AISH while funding a $30 million/year joke of a O&G War Room and giving billions of dollars to rich corporations telling us it will "trickle down" to the rest of Albertans. #ableg #cdnpoli
I live in a province where the @UCPCaucus talks about job creation, yet they cut tens of thousands of public sector jobs, & pit public & private against each other as if public & private workers don't live under the same roof or share friend groups. #ableg #cdnpoli
I live in a province where the @UCPCaucus still has no explanation for why so many frontline workers (including those working on Covid wards) don't have a spot in the vaccine roll out. #ableg #cdnpoli
I live in a province @UCPCaucus has cut university funding exponentially, cutting 60 million from the U of A budget alone this year. It is estimated that 750 post-secondary jobs will be lost in the 2021-2022 school year. Job creation? #ableg #cdnpoli
I live in a province where the @UCPCaucus has centralized ambulance services, resulting in decreased ambulance response times & confusion with dispatch of emergency services. The consequences of this will, for some Albertans, be catastrophic. We are just waiting for it to happen.
I live in a province where the @UCPCaucus were FOIPed over #alohagate and claim that only 7 Albertans contacted @jkenney over the Christmas break travel scandal. Yes, only 7! #ableg #cdnpoli #RealTalkRJ
I live in a province where the @UCPCaucus keeps trying to peddle that coal development won’t harm our water, mountains and ecosystems when we absolutely know different and 69% of Albertans want coal exploration to stop completely. #ableg #cdnpoli
I live in a province where the @UCPCaucus thinks we believe them when they say they didn’t fight with doctors, that they didn’t take over teacher pensions, that they have come up with a sound Covid plan in schools. #ableg #cdnpoli
I live in a province where my government is slow to respond (and sometimes does not respond at all) to acts of hate and violence against racialized groups or the LGTBQ2S+ community. #ableg #cdnpoli
I live in a province where the @UCPCaucus and @jkenney blame every misstep on @RachelNotley, the @albertaNDP and @JustinTrudeau. #ableg #cdnpoli
I live in a province where I fully believe the @UCPCaucus thinks the average Albertan isn't very smart and that's why they think they can keep lying like we don't know the difference. #ableg #cdnpoli
I live in a province where speaking out against the @UCPCaucus will cause @jkenney to label me a "fringe radical left socialist" #ableg #cdnpoli
I live in a province where the @UCPCaucus has done nothing to better my life or the lives around me. They lie, cheat & steal & behave like spoiled children. They have taken the province I have lived in all my life & made a mockery of it. I want MY Alberta back. #ableg #cdnpoli
I live in a province where I *cannot wait* until the @UCPCaucus and @jkenney @AdrianaLaGrange @JasonNixonAB @shandro are no longer making decisions for us. Cannot wait! We've got a lot of work to do before 2023. Let's take Alberta back. #ableg #cdnpoli

🧵 In regards to my last tweet, I’ve had people say I’m toxic, attention seeking, a bad mother, that I shouldn’t spend a penny on my classroom, that I shouldn’t sacrifice my family for my job. Ok. I hear you. My post from yesterday is not a regular occurrence. #abed #ableg
Thank-you for your concern. That was not the point of my tweet. Our profession is continually being degraded by this govt. The latest being the statements that the “ATA cannot be trusted”. My point was we are not villains. #abed #ableg #IStandWithABTeachers
We are people dedicated to our profession and it would sure be great if we had an education minister who supported us rather than continually knocking us down. My son is fine. My pocketbook is fine and I have 5 kids in my grade 7 class who will be reading for weeks… #abed #ableg

👋🏼Hi, just your average Alberta teacher here. I’m going to go ahead and express some major frustration with the unacceptable job our @UCPCaucus and @jkenney is doing in regards to #COVID19AB. So read on or scroll by... #ableg #RealTalkRJ
When the presser started yesterday, I thought, “This is it. We’re going to take action.” Because let’s be real, things are bad. Very bad. You’ve seen the numbers. We’re watching idly by as variants become dominant. This is not a good place to be. @UCPCaucus #ableg #COVID19AB
But alas, @jkenney fell short of actual leadership like he’s done so many times before, implementing half measures to save livelihoods, not lives. When he lamented that we are reaching immunity in part b/c of the amount of people who have been infected? 🤦🏻‍♀️ #ableg #COVID19AB

👋Hi. It's Saturday morning and I am grouchy. So this is what I am going to tell you about our current Covid situation in Alberta and the @UCPCaucus & @jkenney complete UNWILLINGNESS to act - because that is what it is - unwillingness. #ableg #abpoli @UCPCaucus
We are in the home stretch. All adults that want a vaccine are being told they can have one by June. That's what the @UCPCaucus keeps saying - that is only 3 months away. We've been doing this for 12 months, but now 3 months is too far away to protect lives. #ableg #abpoli
So the variants are exploding in Alberta. 325 new variants yesterday and they account for 23.4% of our active cases. And no new measures have been brought in. The government is "watching closely". 🙄 #ableg #abpoli #COVID19AB @UCPCaucus @jkenney @CMOH_Alberta
