As some of you may know, every year I commission a family portrait to hand on the walls of our home. Something fun, whimsical, and different. This is my favourite tradition, and I have had the privilege to meet wonderful artists and people. This 🧵 holds all my treasures ❤️

2023: Our most people-ish portrait to date and I absolutely adore it. @RossySculpts created my little goblin family and I truly feel that this represents the thinly veiled feral energy of the twins. Also..... just look at them.....my little goblins are growing up..... 😭

2024: It's been a big year for imagination in our house. Stacks of books, gallons of tea, and two little brains making their own magic daily. @rachillu has perfectly captured the cozy-chaos vibe of our family in this year's portrait. Thank you for being part of our tradition!

A dispute? No. No. No. That's reductive wording. This was a legal strike action by workers seeking a fair deal. This is a protected Charter right. Any effort by businesses to lobby for restrictions on labour action is anti-worker and should be opposed.

Business groups continued to call on the federal government to take action in the wake of the recently resolved British Columbia port workers dispute on Saturday, arguing Ottawa must ensure such a disruption never happens again. cbc.ca/news/canada/british-c…

The federal government is walking a difficult tightrope between the demands of the business community and protecting workers' constitutional rights, labour experts said.

It’s unacceptable that Albertans are facing constant delays to get a simple test or blood work done. As of right now, we’ve directed Alberta Health Services to make thousands of new community lab appointments available in Calgary to reduce wait times for patients.
