If you are running for re-election in #Elxn44 right now, and you aren’t talking about how to make parliament a less toxic, more inclusive, more effective, more democratic place, you don’t deserve your seat. Period. #cdnpoli

1/ Was there really no consensus on electoral reform? Let's bust this myth once and for all with facts. 🧵

I feel like with the man vs bear debate trending, I needed to mention this classic piece of Canadian fiction.

I just saw this band. So good. Only at one venue though. Tickets were only $35, so a high value entertainment for sure.

I mean, you used the word “seemingly” so I would need to know more? From first hand experience I can confirm that public consultations that look good are often designed to produce a pre-determined outcome.

Not a movie, but my 9 and 11 year old LOVE Gravity Falls, on Disney. It’s pretty funny.

Agree. Have had a dog, and they are wondeful, but having a dog is a lifestyle choice. I am much happier with two cats.

To all the feminist pedagogy scholars of the 90s who I haven’t read until now, thank you. I wish I wish I wish I had found you then.

So much of that shame and stigma around the menopause transition is impossible to detangle from sexism and ageism, in a world that is unforgiving to anyone who is not a white, able-bodied and affluent cisgender heterosexual man. My new essay feministgiant.com/p/essay-th…

The literal best thing about municipal politics in Alberta is that there are no political parties.

My favourite question! I don’t have an answer short enough for twitter though….

Yes. On the whole I agree with you. PR was part of the abndp policies for a long time, but abandoned it in 2015, because it no longer served. Same as Federal Liberals.

Agree. Although my fear with PR is it can centralize party control even more, but at least everyone would have a rep who would listen to them.

My question for all #abndp leadership candidates is: how are you planning on making democracy real? What’s your policy on vote whipping? How will you make the #ableg less toxic?

Party politics, especially in a FPTP election system, is indeed extremely poor representation.

If you explain to almost any Albertan that private schools are funded at 70% of public ones they balk. Rightly.

Furthermore, many independent schools include faith-based instruction, whereby diverse communities in our province can teach their children their language, culture, customs and faith. I call on all NDP MLAs to make their position on charter and independent schools clear.
