The irony is not lost on me that a Government that: ‣ tore up its MoU with

@albertateachers

‣ didn’t place a single K-12 teacher on its Curriculum Advisory Panel ‣ had its draft curriculum widely rejected …could not run a simple essay contest. #ableg #abpoli #ucpldr

Alberta women are working tirelessly to break through barriers in a society where sexism is prevalent and continues to keep them from achieving financial, physical and psychological security. The UCP are failing to support them. Watch

Women's essay contest hosted by government backfires: "Not exactly equal"

Many readers compared the third-place essay to something out of a dystopian novel, such as "The Handmaid's Tale."

Prize-winning sexist, racist essay 'should not have been chosen' You think? This is not an explanation. This is certainly no apology. I‘d tell @HomeniukJ to do better but I’m not sure she’s doing anything at all. #ableg edmontonjournal.com/news/politics/

So excited to be in Calgary Pride this year! Received a message to my Facebook inbox the other day asking if the NDP would get rid of Bill H8, the UCP legislation that allows kids to be outed without their consent. Let me be clear — the NDP WILL reverse Bill H8. #ableg

Albertans have paid over $650 million in additional taxes to the UCP as a direct result of policy decisions from this Government. We have 40-year-high inflation. Now is the time to be supporting families, not hammering their household budgets. #ableg #yyc #yeg
