“Should the government of Alberta end its current practice of allocating public funds to accredited independent (private) schools?”
We can't leave this to the teachers

Like a spark to a flame, #ForeverCanadian gave rise to a wind of change in Alberta. You are no longer hoping for change. You are making that change. Use that newly found voice judiciously and strategically.
I am proud to have played a small role in this. More to come…

two things can be true at once: politicians, esp women, endure a lot of disgusting comments. and they are often dismissive of legitimate criticism

An errant voicemail from a UCP MLA shows just how much pressure they're facing from constituents over their use of the notwithstanding clause.

What happens when you call your MLA?
An errant voicemail gives us insight into how the UCP is handling the backlash against its use of the notwithstanding clause. They're not doing well.

Tanya Fir couldn’t hang up a phone WITH HELP & called a constituent a “motherfucker”
And they think that calling their competence into question is unfair?

All true
Danielle Smith is absolute garbage & it’s what she always aspired to be. Working for the Fraser Institute, lying about the benefits of smoking as lobbyist for the tobacco industry. She became school board trustee with no regard for students, parents or teachers, just a focus on manipulating policy.

I wish I was surprised by this
Wherein Tanya Fir refers to the next caller on her “callback list” as the “next motherfucker”….
After she failed to hang up the phone properly.
Just the most competent government ever.

The UCP is widely expected to use the notwithstanding clause once again on Monday.
Why?
Not just because they can.
And not because they have to.
They're doing it deliberately, whether out of spite, laziness, or expediency.
