Not calling a general strike when you don't have the capacity to make one happen isn't something to need to apologize for. The real mistake was suggesting that a general strike was an option when the Fed did not have the capacity to follow through on the threat.

Jesus before walking on water “just watch me”
On Montreal transit I found a Christian fundie pamphlet that refers to the 1970 October Crisis and has this wild comparison: “Christians can often mislead, but not Christ. You can trust Him. Why? Because He proclaimed a War Measures Act upon Himself.”

folks in the rest of Canada, do not adopt Alberta tenancy law. I promise you it is really bad for renters
Bill 60 is a vicious, one-sided tenancy legislation. It will cause widespread suffering and loss of life. Anyone who stays neutral is complicit. In this @thestar.com article, I focus on why mayors should fight it.

Ricardo Tranjan: Think Doug Ford has walked back his war on tenants? There’s more to come. Here’s how it should be fought.

Can a sovereign citizen invoke the notwithstanding clause
the alberta bill of rights was always meaningless because it didn’t apply to employers or protect drug users from police abduction, but the govt ignores everywhere else it when convenient
Also getting a first look at the bill (we get advanced info under embargo but not the actual text):
The notwithstanding clause would allow the govt to override the Charter, the Alberta Bill of Rights and the Alberta Human Rights Act.
You may recall UCP members pushed hard to bolster the BoR.
