White people, please stop saying you want to adopt orphaned Palestinian babies.
This genocide is not another opportunity for you to collect other people's children and erase their culture.
Stop it.
If Andrew Scheer's annual income is $264,400.00 annually, that makes his approximate average monthly income $22,033.00.
Imagine having $22,000.00mo income, free housing etc, stealing from your party anyways and having the gall to accuse Canadians of fraud, laziness or greed.
I will never understand how some people see food and shelter as "privileges" but see attending football games and dining in at restaurants their "human rights".

Dudes making under $500k/yr in Alberta yelling about how they're going to move their families and businesses out of Canada because of the Capital Gains Tax just make me think of that right wing family who moved to Russia for "freedom" and immediately had their assets seized 😂😂
Just me over here wondering if parents who are claiming their children's mental wellbeing is dependent on their extracurriculars are going to advocate for access for low income families too...or if only kids from upper middle class families deserve sports and dance/music classes?
My tax dollars shouldn't be helping pay for someone else's private or religious school while my own kids are denied the programming and services they need to access their public school education because their school isn't being properly funded.
No.
*Unmasked man in the grocery store gets into my personal space*
Me: "excuse me, can you maintain social distancing please? I have children."
Him: "So do I"
Me: "Well I care about mine so, please step back"
Lolz! The autoreply from my MLA's office says that because of COVID they're limiting how many constituents they email back. SIR, emails are practically the only thing you DON'T have to limit because of COVID.
@kuwcarm
HAHAHAHA! It's nobody else's fault if your man is unfaithful, babe.
"Others" should keep their eyes to themselves if they're so worried about stumbling 😘
If MY child was attacked by police on his campus while peacefully protesting, a right protected by section 2(c) of Canada's charter, I would be connecting with other parents and students to prepare a law suit against the school and the police.
I'm just sayin'
Dudes in Alberta: "I run my own business."
Me: "The company you work for convinced you to become a contractor so they wouldn't have to pay you any benefits. You got got, bromigo."
*an entire family unmasked in our store*
Me: "I think you forgot something"
Them: "??"
Me: "Hands them 5 masks"
Them: "No thanks"
Me: "If you sound out the letters you'll find that it says masks are MANDATORY in the store on all the signs you passed on your way in."
Them: 😮
I came really close to laying out some lady at the grocery store today.
No mask, zero social distancing, no respect for my personal space.
I'm not an aggressive person in real life but I'm about fed up with entitled assholes.
Dear employers,
No, I will not be arriving 15 minutes early to my shift but not clocking in until the exact time my shift starts.
No, I will not be working through my break or lunch for free.
No, I will not accept a reprimand for not staying late for free.
No, I'm not sorry.
Pssst...Your coffee from second cup or starbucks or whatever isn't the reason you can't buy a house.
$5 every day for a year isn't even $2,000
Seriously. Let this nonsense die already.
Someone explain to me why people are mad about Arrive Can?
I used it when I went to New Orleans. It was my first time flying outside of Canada, and I am not exceptionally tech savvy, but I had no trouble with it.
It did what it was supposed to do 🤷♀️
Friendly reminder that during the first grid alert, it was the homes of Siksika First Nations residents who lost power.
Casinos stayed open.
All the Christmas lights at the Leg stayed on.
But Indigenous families had to shelter in a Sportsplex to make sure they didn't freeze.
For the record, I used to be the "above and beyond" employee. I did WAY more than I was paid to do, I was ALWAYS early and stayed late, and you know what? My employers acted like I owed them that. They didn't appreciate or reward my diligence and dedication. They demanded more.
Funny how it's only anti vaxxers and covid deniers who know 27 people who died within 3 minutes of getting their covid vaccine but I don't know a single person who even had side effects beyond being tired and having a sore arm for a day or so...
It's almost like they're lying 🤔
I think the fact that people in my area feel safe hanging hateful, racist, ignorant signage on their property while I do not feel safe putting up an NDP sign speaks volumes.
Hey, Hi, Hello!
You can be grateful to have been born in Canada, and you can appreciate the privilege that being Canadian affords you while still supporting the dismantling of colonialism, systemic racism and advocating to give the land back.
Thanks.
The people who think they can afford private Healthcare are the same people losing their minds over a $5 carbon tax on their power bill.
In case you needed evidence of how the Conservative supporters in our country are doing right now.

I know we've already covered this, but I just want to take a moment this morning to appreciate the hypocrisy of Conservative Parties applying for emergency benefits that they think regular Canadians shouldn't have access to.
Danielle Smith proposing a $20B handout to oil companies to get them to clean up their orphan wells is truly the icing on the shit sandwich that is Alberta right now.
Fun fact, the 2022-23 budget for AHS was $15.1B and the AbEd budget was $8.4B.
This is the bad place

If you're more upset about some shitty buildings that belong to an international pedophile ring with tax exempt status being burned down than you are about the fact that thousands of innocent were murdered, then I hate to break it to you, but you're a terrible "christian".
Hey Canadian parents: you overwhelmingly believe you should be informed when your minor child wants to go by different pronouns. Are you aware there is no law or requirement for you to be informed when your minor child gets an abortion?
@AlliAlliG
When asked, I always say that it's less about potty *training* than it is about potty *facilitating*.
You make the potty available and appealing, and then you just let your toddler explore and get comfortable.
They'll be ready when they're ready .
Healthcare: Collapsing
Education: In Shambles
Alberta: LITERALLY ON FIRE
The UCP: "You know what we REALLY need? Political parties at a municipal level and the power to remove councilors."
We're fucking doomed, folks.
So, I feel weird saying this but I also feel weird not saying anything.
Stanley passed away yesterday after a long illness.
He was old and we made the most compassionate choice we could for him.
Do oilfield workers not understand that when we say we need to "transition to green energy" we mean retraining them to work in those fields so they don't end up unemployed and unqualified for the work that's available or do they just pretend not to understand?
I'll pay PST to keep public sector employees employed.
I'll pay PST to help improve the lives of the poor.
I'll pay PST to help fund public services.

"Socialists just want free stuff" is one of the laziest and most unintelligent things someone can say.
We want our taxes to be used to benefit and improve society, not to line the pockets of the wealthy.
The Mannix Bros don't need any more tax breaks.
Ppl who support a 2 tier Ed system because it benefits THEIR kids because THEY have the option to buy their kids more opportunities but say crap like "all kids deserve..." are phonies.
If you actually wanted ALL CHILDREN to have a chance, you wouldn't support a 2 tier system.
If people got even half as upset about people hoarding wealth as they are about people hoarding toilet paper...
The world would be a better place.
Just sayin'.
Sorry twitter. I have to go. I can't talk about this budget any more right now.
I knew it was coming, but I still feel like Jason Kenney broke into my house, pissed on all my stuff, punched me in the throat then moved on to do the same to my neighbours.
This anger is huge.
Because those of us who got vaccinated don't make it our whole personalities.
We're not obsessed with your conspiracy theories. We got vaccinated and carried on with our lives.
For the record, I don't care if there's any evidence that the bodies of Indigenous women in that landfill.
The last time Indigenous people told us their relatives were buried somewhere and we ignored them, it turned out they were horrifically correct.

People don't hate it when Education Workers strike because they're concerned about children's educations.
They hate it because it interferes with the routines of capitalism.

As someone who grew up in poverty with a parent who struggled with addiction, including alcoholism, I find this really concerning.
What I find even more distressing is the fact that some people think this is funny or in any way positive.
This is a very bad sign.
The people pushing to reopen hair salons and restaurants ASAP, regardless of the risks, are the same motherfuckers that oppose increasing the wages of the people providing the services they want so badly.
There are really people out here crying about how "marriages don't last like they used to" while completely ignoring the fact that women in Canada weren't allowed to open their own bank account without their husband's permission until 1964.
😒
Men who punch walls and break household items in anger will punch and break people in anger as well.
Never be fooled into thinking he's showing self control by breaking your stuff instead of hitting you.
He's just laying the ground work.
Your pets are next.
Then you.
Run.
Funny how "girls mature faster" is used as an excuse to sexualize us all the time but is NEVER used to explain why women belong in positions of authority. 🤔
Why does nobody seem to understand that the eldest millennials are 40ish?
I'm 35 and I know what layaway is, I had a manual typewriter, watched movies on VHS and listened to music on cassette tapes.
🤷♀️
It's interesting to see people claiming that
A) CRA employees are lazy and useless and do nothing
But also
B) This strike will cause all manner of havoc and inconvenience for taxpayers so how dare these workers demand fair wages etc.
Make up your minds.

There was a time when a family could live a comfortable life on the income of one person. One person who worked regular hours at an average job.
They could pay their bills, own a home and a car or 2 and occasionally take modest family vacations.
If the UCP wins their supporters will become even more emboldened to be horrible.
If the NDP wins the UCP's supporters will become enraged, fueled by conspiracy theories and misinformation.
So, that's great.

"Open availability" as a requirement for a 20-25 hour per week job is just a way for an employer to get a full time employee without having to pay full time wages or offer benefits.
It's bullshit and it needs to stop.
Unions are the reason we have child labour laws, basic health and safety requirements, protections for marginalized workers, mat leave, labour standards, and sick days.
Turning your nose up at unions is turning your nose up at the entire working class.

I love it when Cons talk about the federal deficit as though investing in the people is somehow a waste of money.
People are the government's largest source of revenue. Spending on people is an investment in their most important asset.
My teenage daughter opened an awkward but adorable conversation with me yesterday about her sexuality.
I'm happy she feels safe enough to do so and so angry that there are people in power in our province who want to make life less safe for kids who don't have support at home.
Zionist: They hate queer people and women in Gaza!
Bitch, I live in Alberta. People here literally tell strangers that they want gay kids to die.
Grow up.
Friendly reminder that Special Needs children are still being denied access to Speech therapy, Physical therapy and Occupational therapy to help them be successful in school thanks to the UCPs changes to funding for those services.

It's actually really easy to prevent people from thinking you're a white supremacist.

Hey Ben,
There are a lot of Albertans who are struggling right now because pf the reckless choices made by the government you "work" for. Maybe tone down the "I'm a Millionaire Daddy's Boy who was handed my lucrative position because of my last name" aesthetic just a smidge.
Disagreeing about human rights isn't a "political" disagreement, it's a moral disagreement.
I don't have to accept your lack of morals just because you pretend that it's a political or fiscal position.
No.
I love how it took until TODAY for me to see anyone mention the fact that the PM is not only Governing Canada during this crisis, but also parenting because his wife is sick.
What did people think was going on? 🤣
People: "oil and gas workers can't retrain! That'd be haaard" 😭😭
Me: *exists as a single mom of 4 putting myself through university to transition to a new field after attending college to transition to a new field and never making 100k ever in my life* 🙄🙄
