Calgarian, cyclist, kind of artsy-fartsy, decent mom jokes from time to time. Used to post a lot on that other app.

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.

Alberta Strong and Free, Notwithstanding
The UCP's Bill 2 skirts the legislature and the courts, leaving it up to the public to push back swiftly

This is probably the best thing I've read on Calgary's new mayor and his path from "ideological jackassery" to top job. ("Has Farkas actually changed??" has been a BIG talker here lately.) If you're interested in Alberta, new Hub staffer Falice Chin is as sharp as it gets. thehub.ca/2025/10/22/w...
Will the real Jeromy Farkas please stand up? Calgary’s mayor-elect rides his new centrist identity to victory

Met my school board trustee tonight and she was kind (and tired!) and very committed to her work for students and teachers and that made me very happy to have voted for her. #yyc

Here's the proportion of Calgarians who supported each mayoral candidate, by their provincial party identity. Gondek and Sharp look like mirror images of each other in terms of NDP/UCP support, whereas Farkas enjoys at least *some* support among all of the partisan identities.

Me, explaining voting to my 4-year-old: “Well, we might have a new mayor tomorrow or we might not.”
4-year-old: “Mayor Humdinger is so funny.”

Calgary voting took awhile over lunch - but it's always worth it for the smug feeling you get later on when you get to be all like, "Don't blame me, I voted for so-and-so!"
