Albertans: the UCP are indeed corrupt,disingenuous,lacking integrity and honesty. They are not interested in protecting our climate, land, children, standard of living/Alberta. But they’ve given Albertans what they hadn’t intended. We are now awake, reevaluating values and more united and stronger.👏🏻

Afternoon walk. It’s +3C, quiet and feels as if we are awaiting the arrival of snow. I think I love this time of the year best for the feels.

Alberta's Auditor General is racing to finish his investigation into healthcare procurement after the UCP govt rejected his proposed contract extension.

He's done in April, 2026, and wants his probe wrapped then, too.

Keeping up with the UCP government's democratic transgressions can be difficult.

But not impossible.

Here’s a running list since Danielle Smith became premier. 🧵👇

Hey Medicine Hat... let's have a conversation about HC in our province...
Spread the word and get as many out as you can... this isn't about politics, or about what politics you support.
Let's have a frank conversation about HC in our community

It will be interesting to see how overriding charter rights, forcing a rejected labour deal on workers, and threatening substantial fines will impact Alberta's plan to add and recruit 3,000 new teachers over the next 3 years.

I'm the next few days, it would be a mistake to:
❌️ limit the resistance to the teachers' demands or saving public education
❌️ make labour/workers/unions the only faces of opposition

The UCP's pre-emptive use of the notwithstanding clause is much broader than one strike or one set of rights.
The days ahead will be crucial.

Not just in terms of public opinion, but in terms of political culture.

Champions of human rights and the constitution must not only outnumber the premier's supporters.

They must persuade Albertans that these positions are dominant, piercing the populist bubble.

There are naysayers who feel calling MLAs won’t change anything. They’re wrong. Ralph Klein’s caucus stopped him from invoking s.33 after their constituents rose up. The UCP, in particular, has done big policy U-turns after their MLAs received pressure from constituents. -Jared Wesley

The UCP is banking on everyday Albertans acquiescing. This would set a dangerous precedent for future cases where the constitution stands in the way of their policy goals.
Albertans have minutes, not hours or days, to convince their MLAs to vote against the proposed law. -Jared Wesley

The UCP's Bill 2 skirts the legislature and the courts, leaving it up to the public to push back swiftly

Rakhi Pancholi came out swinging on the Wyant Report and highlighted all of its flaws and shortcomings…

It’s worth remembering she’s a lawyer as she takes Danielle Smith’s spin apart.

NDP House Leader Christina Gray ripped into the flaws of the Eyant report as well today…

She highlighted the shortcomings of the report, how that was by design to allow Smith and her cabinet to avoid accountability & that the judge felt he wasn’t able to get full answers.
