I work in an elementary school. Classrooms with 36, less EAs than ever, cuts to teaching staff, and LACK OF FUNDING are the actual problem in Alberta’s classrooms. It’s not books. It’s not students with additional needs. Banning books that don’t exist in my library will
If you don’t see Nicolaides fearmongering about books in schools as an attempt to demonize teachers and the educations system heading into a strike… You’re missing the big picture. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Not help child A who is hungry, child B who has a different learning ability, the 4-5 students who cannot read a single word, child C who doesn’t speak English, or child D who doesn’t speak up and falls into the cracks because he/she doesn’t understand. This is not about

Our Pete the cat books. It’s about parents not finding out about the reality of AB’s classrooms. I stand hand in hand w/ the teachers. This EA will never; not a single day, cross the picket line while teachers FIGHT for the classrooms I myself (as well as my own child) am in.

Just came here to say I don’t need celebrities to burn copious amounts of fucking rocket fuel to tell me to look after the earth.

Ironic, my admin was told just yesterday to expect that Jordan’s Principle funding will never come back. I live in an area with a higher population of indigenous people. This is not reconciliation. It’s a violation of children’s rights and the rights of indigenous people.

Wants to honour a man who actively starved the people of this land and committed genocide. #NeverPoilievre
Could we even build the Canadian Pacific Railway today? Conservatives will honour the legacy of Sir John A. Macdonald & unite our country with a Canada First National Energy Corridor. So we can stand on our own two feet - for a change: conservative.ca/cpc/canada-f…

This is some of Poilievre's voting record. Why would we believe that he's for these things now? #CarneyForPM #NeverPoilievre

I’m not a journalist. I’m an Alberta dad, husband, and trades worker. Over the past few days, I’ve been reading everything I can about the CSIS findings regarding Pierre Poilievre’s compromised position and lack of security clearance. Here’s what I’ve found. #cdnpoli

The fact that conservatives out there think we need foreign entities to help win an election is ridiculous and illegal. Pierre Poilievre would know this, but the dude can’t even pass a security clearance. FYI, this educator and every educator I know could.
Wherein Alberta premier Danielle Smith says that she attempted to influence the US administration to hold off on tariffs to give Pierre Poilievre the best chance at winning the upcoming election... Because he'll align Canada with Trump the most. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

???????? Mass Jordan’s principle denials makes sure that indigenous children are not equal in the school system. Promises not kept, Justin.
I made a promise in 2015:   To honour Canada’s relationship with Indigenous Peoples and work alongside them — as partners and equals.   And it will always be the job of every Prime Minister who follows to uphold that promise.

I will remind America that teachers are the very people willing to take bullets to protect your children. It’s time for you to step up for your teachers. Get to the streets.

Tweeting shit like this and wondering why teachers aren’t letting ICE workers into classrooms? We won’t even give up our prep period - we’re not giving up a child. Not a single child will be taken from a good teacher and sent to this concentration camp.
