Alberta Premier Danielle Smith’s government tabled its “Peterson Law” today — limiting oversight power for regulatory bodies and how they can punish and sanction their members for things they say or do.

This is a very disturbing thread.
(🧵) Just had one of the most upsetting experiences I’ve ever had with AI. As a test, I asked Grok to provide me with 200 statements about “Seth Abramson” that met two criteria: they are (a) true, (b) critical. What Grok returned was the most bizarre series of fabulations I have ever seen. Thus this:

The NDP might also ask how many people giving up and not bothering to vote is acceptable in the context that there have been no issues with municipal voting using tabulators in the past.

I so agree with this AISH viewpoint. Few of the people I know that are AISH recipients could handle very many hours of paid employment if at all. The reason they are on AISH is because they need Assured Income for the Severely Handicapped. They do not need more stressors in their lives.

And I would like to remind Albertans, and Canadians, that the AISH (assured income for the severly handicapped) is a program for people with SEVERE disabilities, usually permanent lifelong injuries. These people have ALREADY had to jump through medical hoops to PROVE and justify their eligibility.

Unless you’ve experienced the socioemotional violence inflicted by benefits gatekeepers personally you can’t truly imagine what we live through daily. I was forced onto AISH because employers wouldn’t hire me. I’ll be almost 63 when I’m switched to ADAP. Yeah, sure, I’ll get hired. Uh huh.

Nearly 80,000 Albertans with disabilities rely on AISH.
Now, almost all will be forced to reapply, creating fear & stress. At a time of high unemployment, many are also being pushed to “find work.”
