I'm thrilled to see the NDP numbers rising and the UCP's falling overall, but it sure is frustrating living in the "Rest of Alberta" and seeing our numbers. 😒

The time change option chosen unilaterally by Danielle Smith, in the face of overwhelming evidence supporting Standard Time, will cause health harms for those in northern AB, specifically. Imagine being a parent in Peace River with a sunrise closer to 10am. Mental/physical health harms, etc.

I was on the @ualberta.bsky.social campus today for the unveiling of this remarkable art installation by Metis painter Christi Belcourt. It’s called In My Grandmother’s Time, and it blends traditional motifs from Metis beading and embroidery with digital technology. And it’s gorgeous. #ualberta #yeg

Shot from ground level, a round ceiling mural that echoed Metis embroidery. On a black background, we see a wild rose in tjr centre, surrounded by flowers, berries, birds and butterflies.

The mural in context - on the ceiling, surrounded by lights and blond wood ceiling tiles. It hangs above the soaring atrium of the University Commons

More than 30% of votes cast in Lacombe in 2023 were NOT for the UCP. When you add to that all of the minors and people who were unable to vote for whatever reason, the predictable "guess they shouldn't have voted UCP" comments are pretty crappy. (This post on Instagram has at least a few of those.)

Do you think Danielle Smith knows the ATA *is* teachers? Like does she get that when she talks about the ATA misleading teachers it makes zero sense? They're not some separate body from teachers like she suggests. I'm glad Schilling pointed out (again) that PEC are all active classroom teachers.
