School boards control hundreds of millions of dollars (sometimes $1B+) of public money and set key policies. www.ctvnews.ca/edmonton/art... #AbEd #YEGvote 1106

fionawrenwrites.bsky.social @fionawrenwrites.bsky.social · 23/04/2025I read the platform yesterday (for fun, haha) and honestly, it was like an iTunes Essentials playlist of all his worst slogans, strung together between pictures of fake human interaction. So I'm not surprised at this at all. I think someone forgot to add a prompt to Chat GPT. 020

fionawrenwrites.bsky.social @fionawrenwrites.bsky.social · 15/03/2025Big thumbs down on this take. It was unpopular because people were inundated with misinformation. Albertans got the most back last year — in some cases more than they spent. 000

fionawrenwrites.bsky.social @fionawrenwrites.bsky.social · 05/03/2025My husband reminded me tonight that Kenney is great at cosplaying a moderate when he needs to. That streak of zealotry always comes through eventually, though. 011
fionawrenwrites.bsky.social @fionawrenwrites.bsky.social · 05/03/2025Yeah, and the forecast says it’s going to be +1. 000
fionawrenwrites.bsky.social @fionawrenwrites.bsky.social · 05/03/2025Wild things that happened today: - Jason Kenney sounded reasonable for five minutes (I know) - my dad, a hardcore Conservative, waxed lyrical about Trudeau today - my kid’s hockey team played their best game of the year and tied the “top” team in their league I’d say net + but the news is on now. 010

fionawrenwrites.bsky.social @fionawrenwrites.bsky.social · 04/03/2025Yes and he even said, in a veiled way, that was why he was doing it. We can't fight external threats when we're fighting each other. 020
fionawrenwrites.bsky.social @fionawrenwrites.bsky.social · 04/03/2025I'm holding on to the notion that times might be tough now, but by the time they're adults things will be brighter. I don't know. There are a lot of opportunities here. This is just such a nonsensical time. 020
fionawrenwrites.bsky.social @fionawrenwrites.bsky.social · 04/03/2025Having a 12 year old right now definitely elevates my stress level. I’m comforted by the thought of how well regarded Trudeau is, how much quiet work he’s done over his terms to build relationships. I think there has been work going on we haven’t seen. 160
fionawrenwrites.bsky.social @fionawrenwrites.bsky.social · 04/03/2025Ah, I see! I thought I’d read one of the aims was for repair companies to be able to jailbreak, but I lost the thread on what the legislation actually covered. Prohibiting the locks altogether makes a lot more sense, I agree. 010
fionawrenwrites.bsky.social @fionawrenwrites.bsky.social · 04/03/2025Was that not meant to be part of the Right to Repair legislation they passed in November? 000
