So, are we still asking the nurses to take a pay cut when we've found $20M to pay vaccination holdouts $100 per shot? Imagine the nurse that is delivering the vaccination is asked to take a pay cut. Their patient, a vaccination holdout, gets $100. That's cold.

I'm a woman of colour, a Canadian, an Albertan, and a professional engineer. I respect & admire medical doctors. As a co-chair of Alberta's Anti-Racism Advisory Council, one thing I know is that racism seems to propagate with COVID-19. That shouldn't be so.

I was asked by a friend why I’m a professional engineer. I told them that on December 6, 1989 when I was Grade 11, I had an aptitude for math & science and tragically 14 women were murdered at the engineering school of École Polytechnique de Montréal because they were women. 1/

Okay, this needs to be said.

The economic impacts of COVID-19 for women are atrocious & the vaccination strategy doesn't prioritize them either. In Alberta:
• 94% of nurses are women
• 71% of teachers are women
• 51% of retail workers are women
• 81% of health care & social assistance workers are women.

More history:
• Stopped delivering land acknowledgements at any government function: Alberta government under Jason Kenney
• Refused to codify National Day of Truth & Reconciliation: Alberta government under Jason Kenney
• Continues to defend J.A. Macdonald: Jason Kenney.
Ottawa’s Indian Act policy suppressed indigenous culture, barring regalia, ceremony, language & intertribal gatherings.
The founders of the Stampede used their influence to push back, creating this gathering with many of the same families erecting teepees here for +100 years.

Quote: "The club replied Tuesday that it has never and will never tolerate any form of discrimination, and encourages respectful freedom of expression."
So says the Calgary Petroleum Club which did not admit women until 1989.
Know your history.

Combative. Disrespectful. Not nice. Disruptive. A mere collection of some of the words this Black woman has been called for asking difficult, well researched, pointed & thoughtful questions in the performance of my volunteer work. Those words are signs I'm doing my job well. 1/

The bonkers people calling on PMJT to meet with the trucker terrorists need to stop. I personally refuse meetings with people who hold up signs outside my office that indicate that they want to simultaneously fornicate with, assault, or assassinate me. Just my prerogative. ✊🏾

It's Christmas time. Use your good dishes, even if the place setting is only for one.

This long weekend, a reminder that pandemic productivity is an unnecessary expectation to substantiate. All those people you know writing books, starting businesses, refurbishing their homes - good for them. Only thing you actually have to do is not get COVID-19. You're welcome.

as a woman of South Asian descent, I'm certain these comments weren't okay with you either. Please be the good human I personally know you to be and say as much to the Premier & Albertans. We must call out this behaviour. Silence is complicitous. [2 of 2]

I take ½ day vacation & the racists seem to take it for open season. Let’s do a thread. Black Lives Matter is a movement, a philosophy, not an individual candidate. It’s work to address systemic & anti-Black racism. You can’t be “a Black Lives Matter”, that’s not a thing. 1/

Umm, no Premier. You don't get to take credit for this one. (Red card, game misconduct.) I remember shovels going in the ground two days after I was diagnosed with cancer. That's why I remember. I am a patient at the current one, I'll be a patient at the new one too.
Patients will soon see improved access to cancer care as the new Calgary Cancer Centre is now 9️⃣0️⃣% complete!
This is part of Alberta’s Recovery Plan 🏗, creating jobs now while building what Albertans will need in the future.

Canada has laws to deal with hate crimes. Please refer to section 319 of the Criminal Code of Canada. I'm not a lawyer, but I am an engineer with a master's degree in law. I interpret legal requirements for a living. (2/3)
