In less than a week, the Edmonton Public School Board will decide whether to re-establish armed police officers in our public schools. We need your help right now to make sure this doesn’t happen.
An elderly First Nations dementia patient was injured in an altercation with security in a Fort McMurray hospital. Here's my article: aptnnews.ca/national-news/…
It’s been 200 days of state sponsored collective punishment on one of the most densely populated places on Earth. 40 THOUSAND Palestinians have been slaughtered. 70% are women and children. Canada is complicit in the most documented genocide in history.

There is no reason to have police officers in schools. Children need to be taught to think and challenge ideas and should not have to live under fear of surveillance and suspicion.

Absolutely reprehensible behaviour from an organization that purports to represent Jews, yet cannot conceal its disdain for the growing number of Jews who don’t think anyone who criticizes Israel should be expelled from public life. nationalpost.com/news/canada/pr…

Don't believe the conservative hype. There is no "addiction crisis." Stats Canada notes a decrease in prevalence of "Substance Use Disorder" from 2012-2022. Dillies are not creating a "new opioid epidemic." But those of us already wired are dying fast.
The Zameer case should be seen as an example as to why these calls for “bail reform” are rage farming and were never rooted in facts, evidence and truth. He was not a man with a record, he was charged in a murder he should never been charged with. Politicians smeared him.

"In every single case where congenital syphilis resulted in stillbirth, the mother did not get proper prenatal care and the infection wasn't treated." #ableg
These stats are shocking. The rate of stillbirths among Alberta women aged 15-19 QUADRIPLED from 2012 to 2023, are twice as high for age 20-24. It's partly due to a syphilis outbreak, with cases rising from 128 in 2012 to 3,326 in 2022 westernwheel.ca/local-news/ste… #ableg #cdnpoli
There is no reason to have police officers in schools. Children need to be taught to think and challenge ideas and should not have to live under fear of surveillance and suspicion.

NEWS: @ASIRT_AB has found no wrongdoing on the part of EPS officers who pursued a man who drowned trying to escape police on some river ice earlier this month. Police tried to stop the man for riding a bike without lights.
News: EPS Const. Dustin Adsett has been found NOT guilty of assaulting a man with a Taser during an arrest. Judge nevertheless said aspects of the arrest of Lee Van Beaver were "disturbing" and that he deserved "more compassion, respect and dignity." edmontonjournal.com/news/crime/edm…
