On the ruling calling the UCP's Bill 14 strategy "the antithesis of the stable, predictable, and ordered society that the rule of law contemplates, and democracy demands."

Smith flatly said she knows democracy better than judges.

So...

In the course of less than 24 hours, Danielle Smith's right hand man is apparently attempting to delegitimize both the courts AND journalists.

Is there a name for that?

When is True North not Juno news?

No one knows!

But today, True North suggested that the Feds should pay for education because immigrants & Nicolaides only pushback was because he wouldn’t want to give the Feds more control.

The more things change…?

An important note…

Smith isn’t just overriding the federal Charter…

She’s also overriding the Alberta Human Rights Act AND the Alberta Bill of Rights she just rewrote.

The UCP are bringing purity tests to who can run in elections.

Remember that "Alberta Next" panel?

You know, the one that was to decide to put forward a referendum?

If you had any doubts that it was performative, looks like we're going ahead with the Alberta Police Force, referendum free!
