🧵 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

👋🏼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

👋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

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
