Let’s this sink in. Bill 2 overrides:

• The Labour Relations Code;
• The Public Education Collective Bargaining Act;
• The Alberta Bill of Rights;
• The Alberta Human Rights Act;
• The Education Act.

All without vigorous debate or consultation with Albertans.

“It might cause a bit of angst to put some of the stuff out in the public domain but, hey, we do live in a democracy,” said University of Alberta professor Darryl Hunter.

“Student-teacher ratio is a key performance indicator for any system … and people want to know what these numbers are.”

Elections Alberta has approved a citizen-initiated petition application to gather signatures in support of the proposal to end public funding to independent/private schools.

At tonight’s “consultation”…

When a high school kid tried to raise concerns about the teachers strike, Bruce McAllister cut the kids mic and then suggested his parents should have beaten him more.

Listen to the clip yourself…

A loud and clear message to Premier Smith from Canadian doctors.

Trust is essential for all patients and the quality of care.

Leave our patients alone and let evidence not ideology dictate informed health care decisions.

These new gender checking processes from the Alberta government are not only discriminatory and transphobic, they violate Alberta’s privacy laws.

They do nothing to promote safety but instead demonize women & girls who do not conform to gender norms.

Leave health care to the doctors, not the politicians.

Deleted the first version of this post…

The vote today authorizes a strike vote, it isn’t a strike vote in an of itself.

Nonetheless it make it clear teachers are standing up for students and classrooms!

Teachers should reject the contract offer from the mediator.

Alberta teachers have already lost approximately 20% of their purchasing power since 2011

The proposed 3% annual increases would still leave teachers 19% below inflation-adjusted values by 2027.

On our new episode we heard from Andrew Longhurst how profitized health care doesn’t have its promised effects.

It’s just taking taxpayers money to make the elite more rich and it’s fundamentally un-Canadian.

The UCP has now passed its 3 anti-trans and anti-gay bills. This is a very dark day for Alberta and human rights.

It’s sad the courts will have to strike down this discriminatory UCP legislation.

I agree and I fear that more cis women could begin to direct their resentment and anger at the wrong people. We have to go into this fight back-to-back with our trans sisters and direct that anger and mistrust outward at the misogynistic, controlling cowards using trans women as scapegoats.
Transgender bathroom bans are about slowly making every woman afraid to use a public washroom bc it gives strangers the authority to police who is or isn't feminine enough based on some mythical idea of what makes women womanly. They are using trans women to test our resolve and we are failing.
