The Alberta Government is normalizing the use of the notwithstanding clause in an attempt to ignore the rule of law.
Use your voice. Protect the Charter. Stand up for human rights. Democracy depends on it.

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

It's official: Alberta now has the lowest minimum wage in the country. 🏅
The minimum wage hasn't been raised since 2018, and Danielle Smith has no plans to change this.

A committee can't build a pipeline, especially when there's no route, no proponent, and no real funding. There’s also no commitment from the federal government to repeal the legislation that would make this pipeline possible.
In Danielle Smith's own words, this is an 'utter failure.'

The UCP have responded to the teachers rejection of their offer…
By attacking the ATA & mischaracterizing an offer that didn’t address per student funding or classroom complexity in any meaningful way.
Because that’s worked as a comms strategy so far…

Canada Post is a service. Like other govt or quasi-govt services, it is not supposed to turn a profit.

Hey @bsky.app we've been around, migrated from app to app, and see what you're doing. This kind of policy update always precludes the banning of adult-based creators. Don't be this way, we helped you build your base up from nothing. You want adult content to stay. Fix your policies.

Lotta smug people reposting this talking about how great it is here, unaware of the shitty censorship choices coming in the new ToS. I’ll still be allowed to say “shitty” right?

Then pretends to not know how tabulators work, claiming they make recounts impossible.
