a teenage boy from a calgary high school at the alberta next panel had his mic cut and was told by bruce mcallister (alberta's very own education and advanced education critic) that his parents should “put thim over their knee” for questioning why private education gets such high funding while public school is left to flail.
The student's censored query came just two days following a province-wide student walkout and "Save Alberta’s Education" rally protesting the province's education funding, recent controversial book ban and transgender laws, which Premier Smith said she is willing to override Charter Rights to push through.

MCALLISTER: I know the premier will pick up on thay in a few minutes, but, uh, back fo the mocs.
STUDENT: Hi, my name is Evan Lee, I'm a Calgary high school student. Like many other high school students, I'm concerned about what's going to happen to the upcoming teacher's strike. Just an hour ago they voted 89.5 (per cent) in favour of striking.
[Audience cheers.]
MCALLISTER: Evan–
EVAN: And my question is, why is the government handing out 4–[Mic cuts out]
[Some noise from the audience. Audience then starts booing.]
MCALLISTER: Here's... Here's... Here's the thing, Evan. Evan, I... I applaud–I applaud you coming here to speak, I don't applaud how you're trying to speak. It's not making any sense, so we're going to move along. Okay? Let's go over to this microphone, okay? [Video skips back and repeats “this microphone, okay?”]
[Audience boos and yells.]
MCALLISTER: I know you'd love some chaos, but your parents should turn you over a knee. Let's go over here.
update (Link to CBC.ca article): Bruce McAllister had apologized. Danielle Smith has called the remark offensive but stated she considers the matter to be closed.
(Excerpt below.)
The moderator of the province's Alberta Next panel has publicly apologized for a remark Premier Danielle Smith has called offensive, but Smith says she now considers the matter closed.
"I always take the view that we have to engage with people respectfully. That's my expectation of my staff and I have asked him to do better next time," said Smith, who chairs the Alberta Next panel.
Bruce McAllister, executive director of the premier's office and moderator of the panel, made the comment at a town hall in Calgary on Monday evening.
last post died. i don't get paid until the end of the month, and i need help with buying food and drinks and paying off my phone bill. i probably won't be able to raise it all, but i would like to be able to at least pay off what's late on my phone ($184.46) and to be able to feed and hydrate myself
as mentioned C$184.46 for my phone at minimum, and groceries i am thinking probably C$150 would do? (conversion: this is US$133.14 and US$108.27)
dagger is in canada & therefore doesn't have their own cshapp— so if you wanna help thru cshapp, here's mine ($em0jis)! while there'll be transfer fees involved, ill make sure donos get sent to my friend here! make sure to put a note specifying its for dagger! thank you so much!
nothing new yet. i have 3 day before i lose my phone and i am not going to have rent on time. please please please don't let me lose any of this. please.
it’s so stupid how half the internet is like “all kinks are good and beyond critique and if you disagree you are a puritan who hates all lgbt people” and the other half is like “if a woman behaves sexually on purpose in a way that isn’t explicitly femdom it is an offense to feminism and she is a traitor” like man sometimes it depends
learning that 1. there's a thing called the 'gen z stare' 2. it pisses people off and 3. it's just underpaid service workers staring at someone until they follow a simple instruction, has been interesting.
for example, the card reader says 'remove card' the customer goes 'it says remove card, what do i do?' then some underpaid 20 year old just stares at whatever twat just asked that question. apparently that's devastating for baby boomers and gen x'ers, and they're complaining about it. retail workers should be allowed to jump the counter and kill customers
There is a pervasive ideological construction that someone either deserves autonomy or support, but that these are mutually exclusive.
This artificial construction is extremely present when it comes to discourses about age and ability. People will discuss taking away choices or censoring information as "protecting" young and disabled people, and will discuss taking away material support as a necessary exchange for decision making (e.g. "if you live under my roof, you live under my rules"--a threat that asserting autonomy comes at the cost of homelessness). This dynamic is so foundational to the oppression of children that even when applied to adult groups we use words like paternalism and infantilization to communicate that a group of adults is being treated "like children."
Whenever you demand autonomy, people use this as justification to withdraw resources and care. Whenever you express your need for resources and care, people use this as justification to withdraw bodily autonomy. In reality, all people deserve bodily autonomy and care. And in reality, oppressed people are routinely denied both.
The ongoing genocide of Palestinians is perhaps the most extreme and acute expression of the oppression of young and disabled people in the world right now.
This past December, the Palestinian Center for Human Rights (a nonprofit based in Gaza) published a report titled Generation Wiped Out: Gaza’s Children in the Crosshairs of Genocide. In this report, they explain how children are specific and intentional targets in this genocide:
"The targeting of children in the Gaza Strip constitutes a central element of a systematic genocide. Since the onset of Israel’s genocidal campaign on 07 October 2023, Israeli leaders have explicitly expressed their intent to annihilate Gaza, including children... a deliberate intent to target children as part of a broader plan to erase and eradicate Palestinian identity and destroy future generations... The report examines these crimes through the lens of Israeli practices and policies since 07 October 2023, materialized by the unprecedented killing of children, causing them severe bodily harm through grave injuries and arbitrary detention. It also highlights the infliction of profound psychological harm. Furthermore, it delves into systematic policies aimed at their destruction, including the weaponizing starvation, the denial of appropriate medical treatment and adequate healthcare, and forced displacement accompanied by deprivation of food, medical care, and shelter. Additionally, it addresses the restriction of children’s right to education."
Make no mistake that this genocide is the ultimate form of the annihilation of resources, care, and autonomy for children, and by extension for all Palestinians who are subject to the most brutal and extreme forms of paternalistic, disabling racialization.
We all need to hold solidarity with the young, disabled people in Palestine. This solidarity is essential to global liberation.
My friend Ahmed Aldani is a disabled teenager living in Gaza right now.
His lifelong disability caused by exposure to gas from a phosphorus bomb before he was even born, and over the course of his life he has experienced additional disabling traumas. Two years ago Israel bombed his home, and more recently even his family's tent was damaged in another bombing.
If it wasn't hard enough to sleep while constantly waking from vivid nightmares, reptiles and poisonous insects easily get into the tent every night. His brother is injured and needs medical attention (a single tablet of his medicine costs €20 euros), and they cannot even afford enough to eat anymore. He is starving, living with constant headaches, dizzy from the lack of nutrition and calories.
Ahmed is a really wonderful person, and deserves resources, support, care, and autonomy. We can be part of a collective community of adults who can help give him some relief and control over his life. Please donate to him.
My name is Ahmad Aldany. I am reaching out to you from the heart of the daily suff… Ahmed Aldany needs your support for Help Ahmed and his f
His campaign is vetted (198) and you can reach out to him at @ahmedaldani333. Send him some encouraging words! Be part of his life.
Please guys help us so we can survive this war. We are suffering from famine, bombing, diseases and constant displacement. Please donate to me and my family so we can buy a little food and escape this hell.Please donate 🙏🥺
If there’s one thing left-leaning whites HATE it’s being reminded they’re part of an oppressing class even when they aren’t actively saying slurs or committing outright hate crimes
Contribute to or at bare minimum share Black/BIPOC mutual aid. It is the literal least you can do to make a tangible difference especially for small bills/needs. Sometimes you can keep a Black person housed, sometimes you feed us, sometimes you let us have clean clothes or get to work.
It is literally the BARE MINIMUM you can to do pass it on so that if you don’t toss like $5, $20, more their way, someone following you might and it can literally save a life.
Last year two of the most prominent cis Black disability activists died bc they couldn’t crowdfund money - one for a rideshare hospital trip when they knew an ambulance might bankrupt them, the other for cancer treatment.
If well-known/loved cis Black disabled people can’t survive from crowdfunding, imagine the hopes of Black trans disabled people for example.
If you can’t FUND US then at least fucking reblog our shit! That’s how you use your privilege!
Example: my friend @harumscarumcos had their power cut off and they only need another like $100 to get it back on and be able to work again. If you can, toss a bit their way and share! https://www.tumblr.com/harumscarumcos/788718438281625600/8450-14183
ID: tags that say, collectively, "i wish there was something i could leverage from my spoiled place in life and actually make a difference. /steals tag. i attempt to be an ally and have been speaking out against e.g. antisemitism, but other white people Definitely are not listening #racism" end ID
fitness influencers need to spend one day in the body of a tummyhurts girl because why are you recommending "low calorie bagels" with 104% OF RECOMMENDED DAILY FIBER INTAKE? and all the comments are like "oh but that's good, most people don't eat enough fiber" bitch eat a fucking fruit or something then this bread will have you shitting yourself for 24 hours. colonoscopy prep bagel.
also do you think you're getting amazing health benefits from whatever cocktail of ingredients are in these diet slop foods to achieve the low calorie count...like I hate to sound like RFK but it's getting dire out here. literally some diet foods are designed to not properly metabolize in your body and that's why they're so low calorie. all because bitches can't eat an apple or something. recently saw a tiktok diet post like "if you're hungry eat an apple, if you don't want an apple you're not hungry" and I cannot conceive of the world you live in where an apple is a PUNISHMENT I could eat like 3 apples rn they're fucking sweet and yummy what's wrong with you people!!!!!!
Why do they even make apps for ADHD. You want me to use my 24/7 handheld immediate distraction device? To manage my 'gets distracted too easily' disorder? Ooooh we developed the perfect tool for managing your anemia. Its hosted in Dracula's castle. 👍
The goal is to prevent the deportation itself. Stop them from entering the building, stop them from getting to the person, stop them from leaving with the person.
But if that fails, you probably still saved someone else.
Your resistance has delayed the ICE officers - preventing them from abducting others that day - and the frequency of resistance like that means ICE has to commit more officers and security measures to each individual arrest because they might meet strong resistance any time they go in to grab someone. That reduces their capacity a lot.
