Either board will be one that imposes their decisions on the people of Gaza … and I don’t have much faith in Carney’s ability to make those outcomes significantly different.

That’s not going to stop them from invading and killing… the last time Congress declared war was 1942, and yet the American military has managed to get involved in conflicts all around the world that have killed 12M+ people since the 1950s.

If conservative ideology was able to produce an amazing health care system one would think fifty years of conservative rule in Alberta would have accomplished that already… 🤷‍♂️

How does it apply? Look at the murder of Colton Boushie and you can answer that… (that was Sask, but it’s the same base)

Ooo… I had forgotten about that one, thanks!

The National Film Board produced this interesting little take on it (the remarkable survival of this sailor is a matter of record)

This is a national issue and there are no neat legal solutions to this that can be done by others: instead changing this path for Canada will require people in the streets at numbers we haven’t seen in generations.

The Charter of Rights and Freedoms is a beautiful expression of one vision of what Canada can and should be, and they simply don’t want that vision.

As the waves of labour action ripple out beyond Alberta teachers and past the boundaries of the province, you will be told this isn’t your fight, it’s a local matter; you will be told to sit down and shut up.

It is an inflection point for our country, but it isn’t sudden… this is the dark heart of the “new conservative” movement.

This movement is absolutely at its core a supremacist movement, one that supports “rights for me but not for thee”.

It’s rather stunning… not to mention that her signs stand out as grossly in violation of the sign laws (and that’s in a field where everyone else is mostly just disregarding them altogether)

Thanks for putting up with me saying that out loud over here where people who don’t know might see it.

I could check with my source again, but any pay they receive is negligible if it exists at all. The ATA doesn’t have the funds for strike pay for 50k teachers

There’s not nearly enough if they all refuse together, not to mention MP won’t be paid either.

Indeed… “checks and balances” no one is willing to actually use are pretty meaningless: in the US or in a parliamentary democracy.

Trump has provided plenty of grounds for Congress to impeach him if they really wanted to, but they won’t.

(Written from Alberta where we’re more than half a century into functional one party rule and no hope of non-confidence in sight)
