Found myself wanting to tweet β€œThe Dallas Cowboys - yikes!” like Magic Johnson, but really this is the most brutal season of the NFL for them in a long time. I’d take the Raiders rolling around in their own filth over Dak Prescott and Ceedee Lamb burning their careers out for Jerry Jones’ pleasure

Speaking to @energimedia.bsky.social today, GilMcGowan made it clear…

Danielle Smith has just touched off an economic firestorm.

And union leaders will be responding β€œprovince wide”.

Now this is how a true hockey hero acts. Thank you Hayley Wickenheiser for standing with public education against the MAGA MAPLE attack in Alberta.

Parents see the cracks widening, and many are speaking out in support of teachers.

Fast forward to today: chronic underfunding, larger class sizes, rising student needs, and dwindling supports have taken a heavy toll. Teachers are stretched thin, and a new generation is being handed a system in crisis.

Teachers were respected, students excelled, and classrooms reflected a balance of rigour, creativity, and support that was the envy of many jurisdictions. There were challenges, but teachers held the system together.

In the early 2000s, Alberta was considered the best public education system in the English-speaking world. A model others studied, praised, and tried to replicate.

Why? Because even with retirement not far off, they care about the future of students and are deeply worried about the system our young teachers are inheriting.

The system itself is far more broken and in desperate need of repair. I spoke to a veteran teacher who was a young teacher back then, and even though they are now the sole income in their household, they still voted β€œyes.”

This time feels very different. Teachers are standing together with greater strength, and parent support seems stronger too, even among families with young children or kids graduating this year.

I was also on the front lines of the lockout and the Mediated Settlement in the early 2000s. Back then, teacher resolve was not as strongβ€”far less than 89.5%β€”and parents were more divided in their support of teachers.

Since retiring as a school principal in 2021, I’ve still been in schools a lot as a Faculty Associate with the University of Lethbridge.

Alberta Teachers’ Association members have voted 89.5 per cent to reject the latest contract offer.

Turnout for the vote was 94 per cent.

51,000 teachers will go on strike across the province on Oct. 6.

Here’s ATA president Jason Schilling announcing the vote result in Edmonton #AbEd #AbLeg

That everyone in my timeline responded to the news that child/dog-beating bigot James Dobson had left the planet with a joyous party of celebratory send-offs means the BlueSky algorithm knows my jam.

Last day of our four-week adventure in the Maritimes. Spent the afternoon in beautiful Quidi Vidi when my wife looked up and spotted these incredible undulatus asperatus (asperitas) clouds. She grabbed the photosβ€”wild?

If you’re a Canadian bar, pub, bistro, coffee shop, or other restaurant asking us to β€œbuy local” (which I happily do), and you’re not playing a solid mix with A LOT of Canadian music, I’ve got some questions. #ElbowsUp #CanadaRocks

No one goes MAGA and becomes more compassionate.

Every single server in Halifax: β€œSo, where are you folks from?”

My wife: β€œAlberta.”

Me: β€œWe’re not separatists though.”

Thanks a lot Marlaina Smith
Way to make being from Alberta feel like something you need to apologize for. #abpoli #ableg

LA DODGERS just now:

β€œThis morning, ICE agents came to Dodger Stadium and requested permission to access the parking lots. They were denied entry to the grounds by the organization. Tonight’s game will be played as scheduled.”

Right on, Dodgers!
More of this, please.
