This is an excellent summary of Sabir’s comments, but the missing thing is that Janis Iwrin is absolutely *seething* in the background. Like absolutely furious.

Sabir: I heard from my own constituents and from a teacher in Airdrie; for six years, the UCP has treated teachers with disrespect, first with our pensions, funding, refusing to collect class size data. If the NDP forms the next govt I hope you can show that education matters in AB.

Danielle Smith and the UCP’s Bill 1 is literally Labour Convention Reference (1937) UKPC 6 repackaged and presented as some landmark drawing a line in the sand in federalism.

You will of course note that pretty much unanimously democratic lawmakers and left leaning commentators are denouncing in the strongest terms political violence but you wouldn’t get that impression from various conservative commentators.

Banning Margret Atwood’s The Handmaids Tale is a bit on the nose even for the UCP.
Teachers: we really need supports for complex needs in classrooms, lower class sizes, better working conditions, and appropriate funding
UCP: best we can do is a book ban

The Jubilee videos are bad not because of the format (although it is bad) but because literally only one side benefits and it’s the “openly Nazi/racist/christian fascist” side because they get their insane views in front of people who would never be exposed to them outside.

Look, I didn’t have super high hopes for the Alberta Next Panel, but with some of the names associated with it, I was cautiously optimistic.
Doing the survey now (after watching the 3 min propaganda video to get to it), that optimism is gone.

It’s indicative of how poorly prepared the Democratic leadership is for this moment when Schumer’s statement is ambiguous as to whether his proposed use of theWar Powers Act is meant to oppose Trump’s actions or retroactively authorize them.
Schumer puts out a statement: "We must enforce the War Powers Act, and I’m urging Leader Thune to put it on the Senate floor immediately. I am voting for it and implore all Senators on both sides of the aisle to vote for it."

The suggestion that Alberta is going to separate from Canada and Albertans keep their Canadian passports and CPP entitlements absolutely ridiculous.
Double the oil production (at these prices?) —> double the closure liabilities — currently at ~ $330 billion (2018 estimate adjusted for inflation).

Just so we’re clear, Trump is about 4 executive orders away from ordering tariffs on all non American workers on national security grounds.
Trump says movies produced outside the U.S. are a national security threat. So he’s imposing a 100% tariff on all movies that are “produced in foreign lands.”

Fundamentally the core of the Tate brothers appeal is they provide a clear and easy path to being lazy while pretending otherwise.
“Women and minorities deserve rights” is not at all confusing or contradictory to “be competitive in sports” if you engage in any amount of thought.

Fire everyone on the Debate Commission for both creating these rules and rolling over off a terribly drafted demand letter.
People keep asking why far-right alternative media outlets got to ask so many questions
The reason, once again, is because Rebel threatened to go to court and get an injunction. The Debates Commission backed down and agreed to let Rebel have one person from each of its regional "divisions"

Part of the reason we are in this fascist mess is the media has been terrible for years now on framing stories.
It’s irrelevant whether Garcia is “father of the year”: he was denied due process. Focus on *that*/why it’s bad, not the emotional appeals that give the other side easy talking points.
