In my rush to get to the “Standing Up Against the #UCP” rally in Calgary, I totally forgot to update the date on my post. Oops!
Anyway, here’s my pick for sign of the day at the rally and as a born-and-raised #Albertan, rereading it at home was an absolute gut punch. #FireTheUCP #ableg #abpoli

This is a bang on take of the UCP and the Notwithstanding Clause. They used it once and WILL continue to use it repeatedly.

Opinion: Notwithstanding clause never meant to be used to benefit the government
Dave King was was there when clause was born in Alberta cabinet. It was never meant to be used for the benefit of the government itself.

Keeping up with the UCP government's democratic transgressions can be difficult.

The Alberta government served formal notice Thursday.
Bill 2, the "Back to School Act," signals the end of the 3-week strike that has kept 750,000 students out of class.
But teachers are returning "hopeless."

The UCP don’t care.
And my question is: what is the federal government doing to stop this? Isn’t it against the law? The Canada Health Act?
Albertans are witnessing the deathblow to fair and equitable HC access right here, and all without even a discussion to see if there is a mandate for govt to do this.
This is not hyperbole or fearmongering.

NO money to make sure our kids get an education
But LOTS of money to build a pipeline for mega-billionaire companies that are laying off our people anyway.

so no private entity, as has been been promised by DS for months.
This is insane. public money shouldn't be building infrastructure for oil and gas companies. They're rich enough (and smart enough) to do their own investing in worthwhile projects.

Boy that would give the teachers a nice raise.
"The province is committing $14 million to the design, but Smith said taxpayers will not be on the hook for the construction costs."
Yet. Taxpayers aren't on the hook for construction costs yet. I really hope I'm wrong.
