Respectfully, Minister, your bill rolls back protections for vulnerable youth. How do you expect #LGBTQ students to reach their full potential if they don’t feel safe in our schools? #abed #ableg #abpoli
It is a great day for education in Alberta! Today I had the honour of introducing the Education Act into the House for first reading. This bill will help us deliver a modern education system so all of Alberta’s children can reach their full potential #abed #Ableg

I'm about to launch another campaign with @Whileyouweresl1. It officially goes live tomorrow, but already posted through our respective orgs (@YQueerL/@LPIRG). I can't put into words what this woman, and our partnership mean. She summed it up best; we're 2 sides of 1 brain.

In continuing our partnership to ban conversion therapy in Canada, this campaign is in partnership with @LPIRG. We will have hard copies of the letter available to sign at Taber Pride tomorrow, and hope to see you there!

With Bill S-260, An Act to Amend the Criminal Code (conversion therapy) currently before the Senate, we are encouraging everyone to reach out to their elected officials to encourage them to support this vital piece of legislation.

It pains me to see the change dot org petition attempting to block a pride flag raising in Taber. I have always stood firmly behind Taber Pride, last year offering to hold the flag high for their main day so they could celebrate after the town declined their request to raise it.

A UCP policy that I feel didn’t get the attention it deserved when it passed at their founding convention is the policy that seeks to abolish compulsory student union membership & fees. #abvote #abpoli #ucp #abndp @ULethSU 1/8
