Alberta is restricting when the Treaty 6 and Métis Nation flags are flown at schools to the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. Pride flags will NEVER be allowed to fly. But you can fly the Vatican City flag. www.ctvnews.ca/edmonton/art...

“Could I have developed that if I’d had a robot leading my thinking all along?” Appreciate very much how this @edutopia.org piece offers healthy pushback to some of the "AI strategies" being used for student learning right now. 🙏 www.edutopia.org/article/5-go...

Thanks to everyone surfacing this in my skyline I went in and looked for the setting, couldn't find it, reloaded Libby and there it was! Glad to be able to turn this off, even if publishers and authors are maybe being dishonest little shits about it. It's better than nothing.

Learn what happened — and why — on our website at cpaws-southernalberta.org/greater-sage... 🔍 HINT: A resource extraction project has already been approved in what *was* protected habitat for the #GreaterSageGrouse. #AbLeg #AbPoli #Alberta #Wildlife #WildlifeConservation

⚠️ BREAKING ⚠️ The Government of #Alberta has removed provincial habitat protections for the endangered #GreaterSageGrouse without ANY public consultation or official announcement. This puts one of our iconic, #grasslands species at IMMINENT risk of extirpation 💔 #AbLeg #AbPoli #SpeciesAtRisk

What's on your bookshelf this weekend?

If you watch one video today... Dr James Makokis speaking at the historic announcement by Saddle Lake Cree Nation that they are establishing a safe haven for gender affirming care... Is that video. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

BREAKING! "Saddle Lake Cree Nation is asserting its Treaty rights and jurisdiction to provide safe refuge for those seeking and providing gender-affirming care. Any Albertan will be able to access gender-affirming care on Saddle Lake Cree Nation reserved lands and territories"

It's Library Card Sign Up Month 😍 Libraries do so much for our communities, and a library card opens up worlds of possibilities. And when we get a library card, we help ensure they can keep providing all their wonderful resources. So go get a library card, and help others sign up!

Yes! So much more meaningful

Back-to-School season is officially in full swing! Here are 24 diverse books to get students (of all ages) excited about being back in the classroom for a new school year 🍎📚 These stories are all set in schools and/or about starting a new school, going back to school, or navigating the classroom!

We should all read more. And shop at indie bookstores more. And support public libraries more. And discuss books together more.

The Bear is phenomenal. The characters. The storytelling. The cinematography. The editing. Perfection.

'We’re in uncharted territory. There is no historical analog for this kind of rapid increase in fire activity.' In the last decade, more area has burned in B.C. than in the preceding 67 years. Professor Mike Flannigan explains why: thenarwhal.ca/bc-wildfires...

When an Alberta creek ran dry, farmers rang alarm bells about how much water fracking companies are drawing from the Prairies' most significant source of groundwater — and who's keeping tabs on it all. @drewanderson.bsky.social reports. 📸 @amberbracken.bsky.social thenarwhal.ca/alberta-cent...

What are we doing? "In an urgent and unprecedented plea, five former chairs of the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada are sounding the alarm about a Carney government proposal that would allow the “wilful extinction” of species across the country." thetyee.ca/News/2026/08...

It is such a lovely feeling to see pictures of everyone’s harvest from their gardens 🥰

I spent part of every summer of my childhood at Little Bow. Keep fighting the good fight! Down with AI Data Centres!

Because I was in Portugal for two incredible weeks, I completely forgot that summer and Big Brother go together! I’m spending my Sunday doing laundry and getting caught up.

"It’s a long and fairly specific list, but after thirty years of teaching, I’ve learned that every one of them matters." I really wish more PD was built around lists/advice like this rather than, you know, what we actually tend to get 🤷‍♂️ therealclassroom.substack.com/p/what-actua...

Rounding up 15 new & upcoming middle grade books from Indigenous authors! This list is fresh off the presses from the Indigenous Reads Rising website, where you can find even more information about Indigenous releases, such as tribal affiliation and trade reviews! 📚 indigenousreadsrisin...

If proposed coal mine exploration and development in Alberta’s #EasternSlopes proceeded, there are few water basins in our province that wouldn’t be in some way impacted ⚠️ The health of our #AlbertaWater CANNOT be the collateral damage of the coal industry’s inability to operate responsibly ⛰️

This 🙌

Many babies and toddlers on this flight. Wish us all luck.

@meyer.bsky.social dug deep into the archives to lay out nearly two decades of Canadian politicians' big promises on carbon capture. Spoiler: they sound a bit like a broken record. thenarwhal.ca/canada-carbo...

"Students whose teachers had access to the AI tool rated their classes as less enjoyable, less interesting and less important than students in the control group." 👀 This seems...important? hechingerreport.org/proof-points...

Pride is all year long 💓 And it's not just about celebrating LGBTQIA+ stories, but amplifying, honoring, and fighting for them 🏳‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️ So keep reading these books 📚 supporting LGBTQIA+ owned indie bookstores 💕 and fighting for rights ⏬

Planted the rest of the yarrow that I bought two weeks ago. The rain cleared, the sun was shining, and it was a gorgeous evening - except for the hoard of uninvited mosquitoes.

Here’s a useful tip to help students improve their writing. ✍️ 🤩 Ask them to read their work aloud. While it may not feel as natural—or as modest—as reading silently, it can help them catch often-overlooked errors. #literacy #ELASky

Alberta teachers stood up for students—now the government must follow through. Tell the UCP government to deliver on their promises to our schools. share.nwmd.social/s/yG2j80Nl

Why must people talk on speaker phone and watch videos on full volume in public places?

Treaty Chiefs are calling for RCMP to investigate Danielle Smith and UCP for possible treason in regards to the sovereignty referendum.

So you want to ignite a reading habit this summer. How do you get back into the groove? We talk to reading enthusiasts for their best tricks — like allowing yourself to read wherever, whenever.

Read this (while you still can)

“Alberta's privacy commissioner says putting personal health numbers (PHN) and citizenship markers on driver's licences pose new risks to the protection of personal information in the province, including fraud.” #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

NEW: The NY Legislature passed the Freedom to Read Act, a bill that fights book bans and classroom censorship by requiring clear, robust protocols for any potential book challenge. Book bans threaten students’ rights and erode the foundations of public education. We urge the Gov. to sign it ASAP.

“Airdrie Public Library officials say preliminary compliance estimates tied to Bill 28 could require a manual review of about 65,000 library items and create at least $135,000 in one-time labour costs alone.” #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli www.discoverairdrie.com/articles/air...

Teachers organizations from across Canada release joint statment condemning use of the Notwithstanding Clause to override teachers' rights, with the CTF launching a petition calling on the feds to annul or repeal any future action on teachers involving the NWC www.globenewswire.com/news-release...

The backup camera was a revolutionary piece of tech, allowing drivers to reverse more confidently. But what would happen if someone had to parallel park without one? That’s a question this best-selling author is asking: What might happen if the tech that makes our lives easier were to disappear?

Today is the start of celebrations recognizing Pride Season. While we focus on celebrating queer and trans joy and resilience, there is still significant work to do to defend and protect our human rights at home & abroad. Pride is and will always remain a core Canadian value.

Smith today.. 'Well look, the courts have said that Elections Alberta can't validate the separatists petition, so I just have to take it on good faith that they got the number of signatures they said'. Not like there's any reason to be concerned... Cough data leak cough.

Got up early, planted all my vegetables, and now we are ready for Mother Nature to do her thing 🌧️
