"Ungoverning is not a neutral act. It is an ethical choice. It shifts power from the many to the few. It transforms rights into commodities. It turns need into opportunity for private profit. And it abandons the belief that a society should be judged by how it treats the vulnerable."
Danielle Smith is "Ungoverning" Alberta
And trying to break the very idea of Canada

The regulator in charge of environmental enforcement in Canada's main oil-producing province bent to pressure from the provincial government and oil companies to eliminate a limit on natural gas flaring as Canadian oil production increased, according to documents seen by Reuters.

When first-past-the-post ties mainstream conservatives to separatists inside one party, every disagreement becomes a crisis.
Proportional representation would reduce that turmoil and give voters a clearer sense of where each group stands.

Why? To "incentivize" research these companies did years ago.

More intimidation tactics from the UCP via MLA Nicolaides. The minister of Education is planning to anti-recall canvass while we work. Nowhere in the rules does it suggest this is allowed.

The 2025 fall session of the Alberta legislature will come to be known, infamously, as the Notwithstanding Session.
I hope that it will also give rise to what will be known as the Notwithstanding General Strike.
