If you are running for re-election in #Elxn44 right now, and you aren’t talking about how to make parliament a less toxic, more inclusive, more effective, more democratic place, you don’t deserve your seat. Period. #cdnpoli
1/ Was there really no consensus on electoral reform? Let's bust this myth once and for all with facts. 🧵
I feel like with the man vs bear debate trending, I needed to mention this classic piece of Canadian fiction.
To all the feminist pedagogy scholars of the 90s who I haven’t read until now, thank you. I wish I wish I wish I had found you then.
So much of that shame and stigma around the menopause transition is impossible to detangle from sexism and ageism, in a world that is unforgiving to anyone who is not a white, able-bodied and affluent cisgender heterosexual man. My new essay feministgiant.com/p/essay-the-mo…

My question for all #abndp leadership candidates is: how are you planning on making democracy real? What’s your policy on vote whipping? How will you make the #ableg less toxic?
If you explain to almost any Albertan that private schools are funded at 70% of public ones they balk. Rightly.
Furthermore, many independent schools include faith-based instruction, whereby diverse communities in our province can teach their children their language, culture, customs and faith. I call on all NDP MLAs to make their position on charter and independent schools clear.
It is an infinitely cruel joke that women in their 40s/50s have to deal with: - perimenopause -aging parents - teenagers - probably a full time job where they have some degree of authority - the creeping dread of mid life and wondering how you got to here.
Teaching middle school is to constantly be asking “who drew these penises on the desk”? #middleschool #teacherlife
I am trying to buy tickets to @EITS at @SOMAsd for this coming Saturday. Ticketweb won’t let me, I am not in the US. Can someone help me? Would be devastated if the show sold out. @casbahsandiego
Imagine if politcians actively tried to prevent crises, instead of only responding once they are happening? See: rent prices, class sizes, climate change… #ableg #cdnpolitics
File under: stuff the #abndp definitely could have done, but didn’t. This kind of renewed interest in key issues while in opposition that was’t there in government is never not disappointing. #ableg
