Random #ABleg thought: coverage of the book ban debacle sure did a nice job of covering up the threat of a teacher’s strike, the healthcare mismanagement, the worse-than-expected budget deficit and the fact #Alberta now has the highest unemployment rate in the country.

Forcing people back to the office backfires. Data on >3M tech & finance workers: After return-to-office mandates, firms lose stars and struggle to attract new talent. The most likely to quit are senior, skilled, & female employees. Flexibility is a feature of a great workplace.

I had to pay for a medically necessary iron infusion today to treat chemo induced anemia. The UCP defunded iron infusions unless you are already admitted to the hospital. This is two tiered healthcare. If you can't afford treatment, you just suffer. #NeverUCP

Teachers had a 5% wage rollback in ‘94 under Klein. Instead of paying them back when things improved, Klein gave away $400 in Ralph Bucks to ABns & portrayed teachers as greedy. They’re going to call you greedy either way, so fight hard for fair wages & conditions. #abed #ableg

It is frustrating to hear 12% over 4 years for teachers being compared to other contract negotiations. What other public service took 9 years of 0%? Teachers have had 6% since 2012. It is wild to me that teachers are seen as greedy for wanting better wages AND student funding.

“It’s a poorly thought-out policy to fix a problem the gov’t has not demonstrated exists, which appears to be the [m.o.] of the AB gov’t under Premier Danielle Smith.” Alberta’s policy banning trans kids from female sports is ripe for scapegoating & abuse theglobeandmail.com/gift/378a16850…

The whole conversation about how Canada needs to build new oil pipelines *really* needs to start taking these pesky facts into account.

As of next month, Alberta will no longer be tied with Saskatchewan for the lowest minimum wage in Canada. We will be the lowest all by ourselves. And that does not even count the $13 wage for anyone under 18. narcity.com/canada-minimum…

The Alberta government is punching down on disabled Albertans by clawing back $200 a month from the Feds that’s designed to help lift them out of poverty. Those on AISH do live in poverty. Take a sec to use this template and stand up for Albertas vulnerable. #abpoli #cdnpoli

Each #AISH reapp will COST @YourAlberta as they require MD time. I do not charge for these apps (b/c ppl need to eat & get meds) but I cannot see other patients while doing the paper work. This is cruel & destabilizing in so many ways. calgaryherald.com/opinion/column… via @calgaryherald

From book bans to attacking transgendered children, bike lanes and the vulnerable on AISH. It’s all a circus designed to distract you from the billions this government is draining from social services. Nail them on corruptcare.
