In 2017, we ran a performance incubator called Discomfort Lab to test our new mandate of supporting work that engages in 'productive discomfort' & where we endeavored to hold space for uncomfortable conversations. The 2019 edition OPENS TONIGHT! buff.ly/2VSkT1R #yycarts

Great job, Alberta! Approximately 696,000 people have voted at the Advance Polls – a new record! Thank you to all our hardworking officers who made voting as easy and accessible as possible. Election Day is April 16. Make your mark! #chooseyouralberta #abvote #ableg #abpoli

Hey, gang, here’s a thing: vote for who you like. Feel how you like. But if you want a particular party to win, maybe don’t call anyone who considers going another way “stupid”. That’s probably not a winning strategy in a popularity contest. #ableg #abvote

We may sometimes feel that we can’t do much as individuals, but humanity is made up of individuals; we can make a difference. As individuals we can influence our own families. Our families can influence our communities and our communities can influence our nations.

This is a big deal. Not only does Bill 26 mark the first increase to AISH benefits since 2012, it also indexes AISH with inflation. That means more protection and predictability for vulnerable Albertans. #ableg #yyc #aish

Bill 26 has received royal assent. Great news for a quarter million Albertans who rely on these vital supports. Albertans will see the increased rate on the cheques they receive in December. alberta.ca/social-benefit-ra… #aish #ableg

Winners and Losers is part game, part conversation that leans into our universally flawed human logic and the desire to win at all costs. November 13 – 25, 2018 | @yycARTS cada.at/2PJ2FQB #yycarts #yyctheatre 📸 @Diane_and_mike, @WeAreChromatic & @swallowabicycle

There are many little ways in which our electoral system isn’t even designed (nor prepared) for working-class people to lead. This is one of them (don’t worry btw - we’re working it out!) ⬇️

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, currently without an income, needs to wait until her congressional salary kicks in to get a DC apartment. "I’ve really been just kind of squirreling away and then hoping that gets me to January,” she tells @Azi. nytimes.com/2018/11/07/nyreg…
