Without pushing aggressively for change, change will never come. When it comes to social change, the words, “Look how far we’ve come,” could mean a person doesn’t see meaningful change in their lifetime. For the institutions of the EPS and UCP, change can’t come soon enough.

International Women’s Day 2021
This International Women’s Day, I’ve spent time reflecting on the devastating impact COVID has had on the progress of women. Women have been the ones to care for and educate our children, look after our aging parents, and work remotely to meet job expectations that largely ignore these new burdens. For many, trying to shoulder all of that has meant stepping back from the workforce. It is from this lens that I renew my commitment to continue to forge change in our world.
The Demand for Fossil Fuels vs Energy
I recently got into a conversation about the continued demand for fossil fuels. What we really should be talking about is the demand for energy and how meeting that demand will change over the next decade.
Denouncing Hate and the Groups that Perpetuate It
Watching the past four years culminate in the Trump-incited riot on Jan 6 in the United States, I am turning my gaze to Canada and Alberta. Leaders and members of federal and provincial conservative parties have not done enough to denounce hate and groups promoting hatred and conspiracy theories.
Back to School with Covid Still Rampant
Returning to schools after the Christmas break and one week of at-home learning, the UCP government has put parents and teachers in an impossible position. As I prepare my kids to return to in-class learning tomorrow, I am genuinely worried.
Together we’ll shape the future of Alberta
I’m in favour of hearing all positions and policies. Listening to different ideas (perspective-taking instead of just giving) and understanding the nuance will lead to an evolution in thinking and better policies overall. Otherwise, it’s just more shouting at each other about why you think your idea is better.
