Remember in the early weeks of COVID "lockdowns" when every single parent realized that we don't pay teachers nearly enough for what they do?
Five years later, the UCP government suspended their rights to collective bargaining to ensure that they don't get paid enough. What a time to be alive.
From the DM's...

UCP MLA says via email that the decision to use the notwithstanding clause was not just about getting students into classrooms...

The UCP were worried that arbitration would cost them "hundreds of millions, potentially billions".

Substitute out “gender affirming care” with cancer care.

Or congenital organ defect repair.

Or mental health care.

This isn’t about providing fully informed consequence free care, because that simply doesn’t exist.

It’s about believing trans kids shouldn’t exist.

This is despite this govt PROMISING to make surgical access one of their top priorities to fix for YEARS!
It should be noted that PEDS Surgery is NOT done in CSFs – they have to be done in our hospitals with dedicated staff.

Can we talk about THIS page for a minute?!?

AHS, while under the direct command & control of Smith and the UCP ACTIVELY destroyed evidence provided to them?

And records were withheld despite Smith’s promises?

The AG comes just shy of calling a coverup!

It’s worth remembering that the UCP aren’t just robbing Albertans of their charter rights…

Amery openly conceded that these laws also violate the Alberta Human Rights Act and the Alberta Bill of Rights.

That the UCP just rewrote.

From the DM’s…

The UCP Caucus was apparently up late last night in a blind panic over recall. They’re allegedly desperate to find any reason that they can sell to their base to justify shutting down the existing recall efforts.

If there was any doubt left that Smith’s anti-trans policies were anything more than craven politics…

If this is accurate it means she’s delayed robbing charter rights to try and distract from another massive financial scandal.

WOW!

Smith really is rattled about recall!

Despite the gofundme myth being debunked & even unions making it clear they aren’t organizing anything, Smith announced that she’s looking at ways to make recall rules less accessible!

You know, the recall rules she just re-wrote

17 wolves have been killed in MT's hunting season. These wolves are more than just numbers - they each played vital roles in their packs, symbolized resilience, and served as keystone species.

This is an important reminder of what could happen in other states if wolves lose federal protections.

It's been over 8 months since govt fired the AHS CEO and the entire AHS Board... ostensibly to make things better, and to give govt more direct control over the HC system.

An acting CEO and no Board, and things are demonstably worse on all acute care fronts.

Pay attention, Canada. If Alberta is successful in this book banning, this will spread. Look around you, b/c this is how it starts. We're on the same ledge the US was on. And we either start fighting this right-wing rise now, or we follow the Americans over the edge.
