Spirituelle [speer-uh-chuh-WEL] (adj.) - Having or marked by a refined and especially sprightly or witty nature. Used in a sentence: “Beneath the severe tailoring and modest coiffure hid a most alluringly spirituelle creature—impishly selcouth, mischievously malapert, and brazenly aware of it.”

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith posted a photo of a child in a crowd holding up a sign saying "My Sober Parents" on social media platforms this week. The caption said his parents were "lost to addiction." The kid's mom says the post was "completely false" and the premier "used my son for clicks":

calgaryherald.comBell: A frustrated Danielle Smith wants Alberta teachers back at the bargaining tablePremier Danielle Smith wants Alberta Teachers' Association to get back to the bargaining table and hammer out a deal before a Monday strike

🌸 According to the Calgary Herald, Smith is "frustrated" & "mystified" as to what teachers want. A few points: 1. Re Bell's article: next time, maybe try contacting the other side for a balanced, UNbiased story with quotes that tell the whole story. 1/2🧵 calgaryherald.com/opinion/colu...

2. She knows what the stumbling blocks are. Teachers have told her. 3. She says the cupboards are bare. Perhaps she could prioritize public education as opposed to the millions currently given to private schools, much more than any other province. 2/2
