I’ve noticed that with every killing of an unarmed black person, there are white folks who decide that they want to “fight racism.” I’m not here tryna kill your vibe, I’m happy you’re here, but it’s also time for some honesty. So let’s sit down and have a chat.

When I was 14, my mom said I should NOT wait until marriage to have sex —I didn’t even need to wait for love. Her advice was to only have sex with people who respected me. I don’t have a punchline, I just think if more moms said this to their daughters life would be easier.

An economic recovery plan that fails to support women will fail us all. #ableg

Give a poor person $2,000, and it's instantly recirculated into the economy when they need to buy necessities. Give a large company $2,000, and they'll store it offshore, say they have no more money, and ask for another $2,000.

If Andrew "I lied about my credentials to get to where I am and live in a taxpayer-funded mansion with a chef and nanny and stole money from my party to send my 5 kids to private school and get us a van" Scheer thinks that I'M lazy for collecting CERB, what does that make him?

Pubs in Ireland are closed until at least August 10. Pubs. In Ireland. But by all means let’s open Cracker Barrel right now.

Am I the only one here in Alberta who thinks that the curve isn’t flat enough to start opening up businesses again? #COVID19

I have a BIG ass editorial budget for experienced, super talented, dope music/entertainment writers/editors who’ve recently been laid off. Slide in my DMs and spread the word. 💅🏽🤷🏽‍♀️

With the news of dentists scrambling for PPE & some golf course operators looking for clearer guidelines from AB Gov’t, I get the sinking feeling Kenney & his cronies wrote the relaunch strategy & comm plan on a cocktail napkin.

1/ a short thread about #guncontrol and the 🇨🇦 automatic rifle ban. For the #cdnpoli crowd. Q: Is the ban "undemocratic" because it has been brought forward during the pandemic? A: No. Gun control was a platform plank for the Liberals and supported by other parties. They were – at Edmonton, Alberta

When I hear the comment that we need to regain time that has been lost this academic year, I will note that teachers never stopped working or delivering lessons to students. @albertateachers

One thing COVID-19 has shown us is that we actually *can* change our consumption habits overnight. It doesn’t need to happen gradually over 5 decades.

THREAD: With respect to #COVID19 reopening, there is one issue that sets Alberta apart from the rest of Canada in a concerning way. As we encourage more businesses to reopen in Alberta, we do so WITHOUT an ingrained culture of keeping people safe at work. 1/5 #ableg #abhealth

. @RachelNotley is right. #AbEd must work with parents, teachers, school boards and all school staff on a plan to reopen schools safely. We closed schools in haste and that was necessary. We need to work together on a plan for a safe return. #ableg #abhealth – at Edmonton, Alberta

The older I get the more wrong I know I’ve been. I’ve had beliefs and views over the years I was so entrenched in, only to learn more, see things differently & realize I was mistaken. Don’t hold on so hard to what you believe to be true that you aren’t open to learning & growing.
