I’ve been a hospital chaplain now for eight years at hundreds of deathbeds. I want to tell you something I’ve witnessed. Most people, at the end, realize they’ve spent a lot of their life hiding. Sometimes by choice, or because they could not safely choose to be themselves. ➡️

Earlier this year I was asked to make a statement about the impact of book banning on kids. Here is what I said.

“The kindest person in the room is often the smartest.” 👏🏽

“Whenever I’m about to do something, I think ‘Would an idiot do that?’ and if they would, I do not do that thing.” – Dwight Schrute And what is the best way to spot an idiot? Look for the person who is cruel.



The format doesn’t matter. 👇

My son was termed a “reluctant reader” in KINDERGARTEN and I watched him give up on school as his teacher said comics were getting in the way of literacy. Was given awful boring nonsensical Bob books instead. He WANTED to read comics, with built-in scaffolding, engagement, and…



Well done, Westlock. Proud of you.

This is a really powerful piece from George Blais that hit me right in the feels 🥹. @TownOfWestlock, you should be proud of your mayor and councillors! Showing everyone that there are plenty of great people in rural Alberta 🏳️‍🌈☺️! #ableg #Pride townandcountrytoday.com/westlock-news/…



Someone smart once told me, it’s hard to write a skinny book because you can’t use ALL the words, only the best words. Achievable reading means they will try again.

Dear publishers, I’m not your target demographic age. I love reading. So when it’s hard to get me to read these tomes, you gotta know it’s not working for a lot of kids either! Love, a concerned reader

Given the thousands of Albertans that @ABDanielleSmith has blocked for having views different from hers, this is laughable hypocrisy #abpol #abpoli #canpoli #ableg #UCPisTBA

In the face of hate from so-called leaders, Ponoka just celebrated its first Pride. Despite organized, hateful protests, Westlock just voted to proceed with a rainbow crosswalk. It’s not easy. It never is. But this is how you do it. Keep at it, Alberta.

The children who survived in the Columbian jungle for 40 days? One was 11 months ! The older ones must have been brilliant. It's all just incredible isn't it?

Some people have the impression that the UCP won an 11-seat majority. Numerically, it's true - the UCP got 49 seats, the NDP 38. So, 11 more seats. #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli #abvotes #yyc #Yeg

Yes! Thank you @BissellCentre! Because everyone deserves a chance to vote and no one should face barriers when voting. 🗳🧡 #abvote

Today Bissell East is a polling station just for those with no fixed address. We fiercely believe that each of us should play a role in shaping #Alberta for the next four years. #AbElection2023

This is Amara with @RachelNotley. She's almost 12 (as she will tell you when you meet her!) Amara is a star member of our canvas team. Even though she is the youngest, she is gifted at persuading people on the doorstep, very well versed and incredibly smart. Thank you, Amara!
