When I tell people Edmonton and Calgary are actually really culturally different and they look at me like I'm an alien I'm just going to send them this

Someday soon, I want to write about the Kennedy family's relationship to disability. It's simultaneously groundbreaking (RFK Sr exposing Willowbrook, Ted passing the ADA) and incredibly fucked up (lobotomizing Rose Kennedy and RFK Jr)
Being a dad to this little animal is the ultimate privilege. Thanks to my own dad for helping me get here and to everyone who tries to make life better for others.
The Calgary Tower will be lit up tonight to mark Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus awareness month. I hope someone gets a picture. #yyc #spinabifida

Here’s what I’m thinking, if you are going through an illness, whether physical/ mental or both, or have struggled with a condition for a long time: give yourself a pat on the back! You are probably having to work so hard to keep things going, to keep yourself cheered up..

Imagine on the eve of the elxn, you’re seen as so untrustworthy and unlikeable that your handlers keep you away from the media
In the meanwhile your opponent has 2,500 people crammed to see her because she’s not you
I hope Albertans see Danielle as what she is: a failure

I am voting for a “boring” government
A gov’t who doesn’t create daily international embarrassments
A gov’t that doesn’t use press secretary or staffers to attack me
A gov’t who invests in Alberta’s future for all; not their elite friends
It’s why I voted for the NDP
U2, Blue Rodeo, Pink Floyd, Sarah McLachlan and R.E.M.

Name a policy of your opponent’s that you agree with.
Notley: names a couple, straight up says they were good ideas.
Smith: spends first part of answer repeating Notley’s answer. Then names another policy that she thinks the NDP would agree with her on.
Just utterly classless.
Spin city. Versus previous tweet with actual finding from commissioner's report.
The Ethics Commissioner report has confirmed the CBC and NDP lied regarding Crown Prosecutor contact.
I was gratified to read the Ethics Commissioner’s findings confirming that neither I, nor anyone in my office, tried to or did contact any Crown Prosecutors regarding any COVID-19 prosecutions.

AdaptAbility is a new store in the University Heights area in #yyc. We loved their variety of merchandise for kids and adults with different disabilities. Check them out sometime. Village ice cream and five guys are nearby if you need motivation. adaptabilitystore.ca/

A man charged with inciting violence against the police got to pepper Danielle Smith with 11 minutes of questions.
The media gets just one question each — if that.
This is a premier with the wrong priorities.
Albertans deserve better leadership.
Watched the @jasonisbell doc and found the authenticity and wisdom I love in his music. I relate to the resilience it takes to be different and the effort to change yourself. "every one is us is counting dice we didn't roll."

A man of great strength and grace. As talented a musician as he was an actor. The epitome of class. An sudden unexpected sharp painful grief for our artistic family. An unimaginable suffering for his personal family and loved ones. Godspeed my friend. You made your mark here. RIP
