Keeping up with the UCP government's democratic transgressions can be difficult.
But not impossible.

It will be interesting to see how overriding charter rights, forcing a rejected labour deal on workers, and threatening substantial fines will impact Alberta's plan to add and recruit 3,000 new teachers over the next 3 years.

The first (and until today only) time Alberta invoked the notwithstanding clause - in 1998
- the public outcry was so great that Premier Ralph Klein reversed his decision in less than 24 hours. FWIW.

The UCP government has invoked time allocation and on a bill removing Albertans' Charter rights.
And they're using the notwithstanding clause to do it.
Here's why that is a dangerous precedent. And why real conservatives need to stand up against it.

Some Albertans welcome the return to classes later this week.
The ends do not justify the means, however.

For the past year, I've been doing an embedded "ethnographic" study of Calgary's election. As a consequence, I've mostly kept quiet about it. It'll still be months before I have qualitative results to share, but in the meantime, here are some results from our pre-election survey. #yyccc #yycvote

The "drill, baby, drill" slogan belies the relatively small role of *all* mining, quarrying, O&G extraction activities in the Canadian economy.
It's hugely capital intensive (only 1.2% of all jobs) but rip, strip and ship activities contribute just 5.1% to GDP... not even in the top 10 sectors.

Canada wide: In 2024, 4.4 million (21.2%) Canadians earn their living from a job in the care economy. In the entire Canadian industrial sector that mines, quarries, drills and extracts, there were 264K jobs. The care economy generates 13.6% of GDP. The entire mining, etc. sector generates 5.1%.

I began writing this story with a naive question in mind: What do we lose when public education is privatized? A lot, actually.
By following the MAGA playbook, the UCP’s push against public education not only undermines democracy, it jeopardizes the possibility of a better future for all Albertans.
