Alberta’s premier is firing back at teachers and their lawsuit by saying it’s ‘not democracy’ to have the courts review Bill 2. As Sean Amato reports, the Alberta Teachers’ Association says it’s one of the only rights they have left.

The ATA's Application is available online. Lots of expected arguments with some interesting additions (e.g. reliance on s. 28).

Alberta parents shouldn’t be surprised when teachers stop doing the extra stuff. No more coaching, mentoring, answering emails at all hours, extra prep, special day planning. All of it. From what I’ve seen and heard, they’re demoralized and feel devalued. It’s bad. #ABleg #Alberta

Judicial appointments are not often debated or detailed on the campaign trail. The Globe asks the Liberals and Conservatives about their proposals

"I brought back free speech in America, it's back," he says, mere moments after Rep. Al Green was removed from the chamber... This is the sort of brilliance we are facing in this economic war. Elbows up, Canada, and take care of each other. This won't be easy but, together, we will make it.
