She’s stays awake - after hours of labour and birth. And admin’s solution : gum! Gum prevents moms from falling asleep and smothering their baby! Because, space, support, attention aren’t options. I’m so done, folks. I need others to care too.

Let’s set the record straight, @JeromyYYC has never had a job outside of politics. Like @jkenney, he is pandering to a small group of anti-vaxxers. He has repeatedly voted against public health measures necessary to protect Calgarians and local businesses. #yyccc #ableg
I need to set the record straight on some recent baseless claims. To be clear: I support vaccination, have personally been vaccinated, and encourage others to do so if they are able. More: #yyccc

If locking my 2X vaccinated ass down for a month buys a kid his cancer surgery, a grandmother her long awaited & desperately needed new hip, keeps one more immunocompromised person from dying from Covid, or allows a mom to get her transplanted liver, Lock. Me. Up. #ableg

"Lies are not opinions, stop educating yourself on Youtube videos." Calgary Mayor Nenshi went on the attack after Foothills County Reeve Suzanne Oel said that COVID vaccines had only been tested on animals. #yeg #yyc #ableg #Covid19ab

Jason Kenney thought he had outwitted the coronavirus. The cost of his confident yet profoundly wrong beliefs is brutal for Alberta. My column, ahead of whatever belated half-measures the premier announces.

1/I’m not sure how many tweets this is gonna take so bear with me. The provincial government has driven us straight into the most hellish pandemic situation in the country, but no one is resigning? Halfhearted apologies with no responsibility or accountability acknowledged?

Calgary is a city built for cars, but in any modern city, universal, safe, and accessible transportation is essential. On Monday, October 18, a vote for #CourtneyWalcott is a vote for affordable, universal transportation in Calgary. #yyccc #teamwalcott #calgary #ward8candidate

So long as any woman in the world is stripped of her bodily autonomy and dignity, all of us are at risk. Reproductive rights should be universal, and anyone who says otherwise has no business being near any sort of power. The end.

I was speechless reading this yesterday. How many times can the system fail one person? My heart goes out to the family of Dalia Kafi.

On the day that Calgary police Const. Alex Dunn was sentenced to one month for assaulting Dalia Kafi — a young Black woman who was handcuffed at the time — CBC News has learned she has died.
