I'm voting for the NDP in Alberta this election so that our granddaughters do not have to fight the fights of our grandmothers...for the right to use their own name, to publish books, to paint a painting under their own name and be able to earn a living selling their work 1/9
So they can decide the career they want to pursue without duress.
So they don't have to cross their legs to try and hold back labour while someone produces a credit card to pay the doctor like my mother had to do for the first 3 pregnancies 2/9
until we had #UniversalHealthcare in Canada.
So they don't have to endure forced pregnancies because of someone else's ideology.
So all children can get a good education NOT an indoctrination 3/9
So that our earth is protected from greed that wants to mine our mountains for coal...the same coal that caused so many health problems for generations before us, and pollutes our water and soil, detrimental to humans but also to wildlife. 4/9
So that we build healthy societies and cities where people can actually thrive, not living on streets in poverty, not working at low-paying jobs that do not pay the rent never mind feed the kids. I want a society that gets to the root of all evil, which is poverty 5/9
and we raise people up, not vilify them for addictions.
So we can end the trickle-down b.s. economics that do not work and have created horrid inequality in our society. 6/9
So that I can chose my religious beliefs or no beliefs if I wish and not have it forced on me by anyone, especially NOT my government. I don't want to live in a theocracy and 7/9
don't want the next generations to have to fight to change that because I was too lazy to do my research and vote for #progress.
I am not a party member, nor am I really a fan of parties, #thinkandvote 8/9
but this is the system we have right now and I will work within it to help build a better tomorrow.
I hope some of you do too, and consider what's on the line this election. 9/9 #WemustDoBetter #noplanetB #voteNDP #AbElection2023

Some people really don't like social programs, don't like unions either...and yet, how many people who express that are enjoying their long weekend or any weekend? Thank the unions for that. 1/18
Labour laws may reduce profits for the corp but they also protect the worker from exploitation. 2/18
How many had to use food banks in the last few years, or relied on subsidized housing, or accepted CERB during the pandemic to keep the wolf from the door or saw a doctor for any reason in Canada and didn't have to provide a credit card first? 3/18

A little thread of some thoughts-wee rant-I was talking to someone today and they expressed they are overwhelmed with what is going on in the world. 1/8
They felt so much anxiety. First thing in the morning they turn on the news, watch the stock market info, then proceed to get the morning news updates. People are angry, people are afraid, people are breaking the law 2/8
another lost child to worry about, another person died, on and on they expressed their overwhelm. I said I understand, I know these are chaotic times and there is a lot of good happening too. Today is a beautiful day3/8
