I think folks should be making a bigger fucking deal about how our Premier is saying out loud that the judicial branch shouldn’t be a check and balance against the legislative and executive branches. That notion is one of the pillars of modern democracy itself. calgaryherald.com/news/premier...

Remember when Danielle Smith condemned the "arrogance" of a government for passing laws in a matter of days?

Now she's rammed through a law stripping teachers' charter rights in a single day.

Seems the "democratic process" no longer matters to her now that she's in power.

@rachelnotley.bsky.social speaks the truth:

“This is a government that sees public education as a service worth dismantling, basic human rights as an inconvenience, and democracy as a principle to be ignored. This is a shameful night for our province.”

Probably the only reason why Dani and the UCP would consider using the Notwithstanding Clause in Monday's upcoming legislation. They know about the Supreme Court's 7-2 ruling that the BCTF had the right to negotiate class size and complexity.

It's gonna be interesting.

I know people have already said this

But this UCP crap blocking us from getting the covid vax is just another way for Smith & the UCP to crash healthcare

Because that would benefit their donors
With the UCP you always have to follow the money
#ableg #abpoli
The UCP are the worst provincial government in the history of Canada

Anyway, if you want a covid vax in fall 2026 or winter 2027 you have to order it now 🤦🏼‍♂️

🚨 This is inexplicable news to share. If in Alberta and you want flu and covid shots for NEXT year (2026-2027), you have only until December 15 of THIS year to order them.

This is not incompetence. It’s a deliberate choice to prevent as many people ..

The Alberta government is now openly floating the use of the Notwithstanding Clause — Section 33 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms — as a way to force teachers back to work and strip away their right to bargain for the most basic classroom conditions.

Good evening. I'll get right to it.

You all need to be fucking mad as hell right now.

Because what Danielle Smith’s government is threatening to do in Alberta isn’t a negotiation tactic. It’s a constitutional crisis in the making.

Every public health expert - “We need to reduce barriers to entry for vaccines and increase availability!”

UCP - “So you’re saying we should open up a month and a half window to rebook vaccines for a year from now?”

Experts - *Sob uncontrollably*
