By invoking the #NotWithStanding clause to force the employers contract on teachers and shut down all legal review of their cision, Alberta has just veered off the cliff into full-on authoritarianism, stripping workers of fundamental rights.

I am continually grateful for how @juliusgoat.bsky.social gives me the language to frame my thoughts. “A society's politeness isn't worth anything if the politeness is used as a shield for abuse.”
This week I dug deep into the Paradox of Tolerance.
We might hope still to build a new house to replace the one abusive bullies are burning down, after centuries of decades of being enabled in the name of civility.
If we do, the new house will need new locks.

People are afraid of disability. They have to believe they’re the exception. That it won’t happen to them, or if it does they will find the “cure” that the rest of us didn’t really want to find.
In truth, disability is one of the only minority groups you can join at any time.
Most will join us.
