Rest easy, #HulkHogan. An icon. A legend. A childhood hero to so many. As a big wrestling fan, thank you for the memories, brother. 💪🏻
Today's Tait's 8 - Eight friends I'm asking to retweet this important podcastb @KevinKarius @SNKenReid @lynnmercereau @LukaszukAB @SportsnetSpec @ShawnaMedia @ConnorHalley @zacharyweeks the-new-cams-crew.captivate.fm
I can’t and won’t stay quiet on this: AISH recipients in Alberta are being pressured over a $200 federal benefit—with unclear deadlines, upfront medical fees, and mounting stress. #DisabilityJustice #AISH cbc.ca/news/canada/ed…
Sadly this is what happens when people (yes… because that’s what they are… Real people) with disabilities are pushed even further into poverty and oppression 💔
So @JasonNixonAB , so @ABDanielleSmith - Albertans are now choosing #MAID because you'd rather pocket their #AISH while posting an $8Bn 'Surplus'. @nenshi @MarieFrRenaud @zacharyweeks - the true costs of #UCP greed, right here ....
Spoke on @cspotweet via @CHED880 about Alberta’s rent hike + benefit clawbacks impacting #AISH recipients. This matters. #DisabilityJustice #yeg megaphone.link/CORU4142270876
Welcome to my neck of the woods 🤠
Something is shifting, I feel it. Yesterday Alberta’s New Dems walked in the Gibbons parade. This was a first for me. I wasn’t sure how we’d be received by the good people of Gibbons. They were was fabulous! All along the parade route excited cheers! 🧡💜 #Alberta #Gibbons
Which platform do you use the most/is your preference for “LIVE“ streams?
The Minister for Accessibility in MB @NahanniFontaine just said this. That’s not a slip—it’s a failure of leadership. Access is not optional. It’s dignity. #Accessibility #DeafRights #ASL #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs
Proud to support @kerentangyeg for re-election! Keren leads with heart and never treats accessibility as an afterthought. Edmonton needs that.💜 If you’re in Ward Karhiio, volunteer or donate: kerentang.ca #YEGvote #KerenTang #AccessibleEdmonton #DisabilityAdvocacy
All the emotions started pouring out once Matthew Schaefer threw on the Islanders jersey 💙🧡
Any idea on if @DetroitRedWings pick Carter Bear is related to Ethan?
Going live at 5:30 PM MT on instagram with @MarieFrRenaud to unpack your questions around the Canada Disability Benefit — don’t miss this. #CDB #Alberta
I’ve been getting a ton of questions about the #CanadaDisabilityBenefit. So on June 24 @ 5:30PM MT, I’m going live with MLA @MarieFrRenaud to answer them—with YOU. 🎯 Your chance to ask & get clarity 🔔 Reminder link: forms.gle/h6KjFR1d3mSNg9… #CDB #DisabilityJustice
✅ The CDB portal is open. If you’re in Alberta, apply ASAP to avoid UCP penalties in the future. 🔗 Link in my guide → “How to Submit Your Application” zacharyweeks.ca/blog/how-to-ap… #CDBCanada #AlbertaDisability #DisabilitySupport
Use the Government of Canada’s CDB Calculator—it’s free, fast, and linked in my guide. Want updates without the guesswork? 📩 Join my CDB Notification List. Stay informed, effortlessly. zacharyweeks.ca/blog/how-to-ap… #CanadaDisabilityBenefit #DisabilityCommunity
The CDB opens June 20. In Alberta, it’ll be clawed back from AISH. Elsewhere, it could mean real help. I wrote a simple guide to explain what this means, who can apply, and how to prep: 🔗zacharyweeks.ca/blog/how-to-ap… #Alberta #Canada
“Obviously” Connor McDavid has words for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce sitting with Wayne Gretzky for Game 4 😉🤣
🗓️ June 20, 2025: Apps open for the new Canada Disability Benefit. Small progress, but still not enough. Outside AB: It’s a step toward income equity. Inside AB: It’s nonexempt, and clawbacks. Unacceptable. 📢 Share this to keep people informed. #DisabilityJustice #CDB
It’s always an honour to visit colleagues at the Glenrose Rehabilitation Hospital, especially at a 60th anniversary celebration! Bravo, teams!! @glenrosefdn @Pts4Chg @zacharyweeks
