Smug, repugnant, liars doing dirty deeds in the night.
At 2 a.m., the Alberta legislature passed a bill that will force 51,000 teachers back to work, impose a four-year contract and use the notwithstanding clause to stave off a legal challenge and suspend teacher bargaining at the local level. It includes fines for Ts and the ATA if they defy it. #AbLeg

The way to solve poverty is taxing the rich, and enough with this unrealized capital gains bullshit. If they can borrow against that value, they should be taxed on it. Anything over $1B.
And here I was thinking the way to solve hunger was food.
