Raskin: What makes somebody a good lawyer?

You have to identify with the people who are the victims of injustice — not with their perpetrators.

So I would say to Pam Bondi: If you’re going to stand with the victimizers and not the victims, then you’re not a real lawyer.

I had the opportunity to rise during Senate Question Period this week, to ask about the Canadian government's continued commitment to using X for official communications - and about their failure to use sites such as Bluesky and Mastodon. What do you think? #cdnpoli #Canada #Grok #X #Bluesky

Yesterday, I asked the Government Representative in the Senate how the Federal Government would assure the UCP would abide by the Canada Health Act and, in turn, work to protect access to and delivery of public health care in Alberta.

Canada has legal obligation to cancel the export permits for the armoured vehicles being purchased by ICE.
Here is my piece on what is needed to get the Prime Minister to respect international and domestic law in dealing with the ICE paramilitaries.

Google gave ICE the sensitive personal data of a student journalist, including his bank account and credit card info, without even letting him know.

The company is also helping bankroll Trump’s vanity ballroom project.

Google is enabling fascism — all to protect its bottom line.

Once again, for the hundredth time: Alberta could solve this with a simple PST. You'd be able to balance the budget *and* save non-renewable resource royalties for the future.

But, of course, the self-appointed "fiscal conservatives" won't entertain the idea. #abpoli

I had an important conversation with @charlieangus104.bsky.social earlier this week about what we are seeing unfold around us.

Fascist violence threatens people and tears communities apart, including in the U.S. and here in Canada. Canada must not be complicit. We have to stand against it.
It is against Canadian law to sell weapons that could be used against civilians. Check out my conversation with @heathermcpherson.bsky.social over her push to cancel the export permits for the armoured carriers that Rochell industries is building for ICE.

Now is the time for unity, empathy and compassion for a devastated community and families that will never be the same.

Sadly, we are seeing some people trying to exploit and weaponize tragedy to promote hatred and division.

Unspeakable violence is never caused by a person’s identity.

Pam Bondi has been a complete and total failure at her job. The Epstein survivors showed more courage just by being in that room than she did under oath. She refused to answer questions and chose complicity.

Within a federal system it would be a dick move for Ottawa to crush Alberta's economy. With Alberta as a separate country it would just be good politics. If only the secessionists understood this.
These are not smart people.

1) Independence makes you *more* dependent on federal policy, since they get to decide whether or not you can access TMX. Forget about ever building another pipeline west.

2) You need the goods (food, etc.) that cross "our land". Blocking their passage is self-injury.
