I don't want someone to run gov't as a business, I want someone to run it as a *government*. It is the entire point of gov't to govern fairly and responsibly, and provide services for the collective that elects them. You want to run things like a business, Dani, then go work for a fucking business.

Smith finally said it out loud...

She doesn't believe that government should be providing any services to Albertans, she believes that private companies should be used universally to provide services.

Faith groups should take care of the vulnerable.

No one should be under any illusions about who the base of the UCP are.

Separatists and far-right radicals have been given care and feeding by UCP Premiers since 2019. One got thrown overboard because it wasn’t enough. Catering hasn’t mollified them either.

Alberta's government invoked the Notwithstanding Clause this week to force teachers back to work and reportedly plans to use it again against trans kids in the coming days.

When governments can override rights with one vote, no one is safe. Sign the petition to defend the Charter.

What is the "Corrupt Care" scandal?

Pete Guthrie, who left the UCP over their refusal to call a public inquiry, summed it up impressively today.

And he called out the UCP MLA's and ministers who remain silent on it.

With Smith deploying the notwithstanding clause on one front & setting up more…

We asked @duanebratt.bsky.social at our live show for his assessment & whether or not Alberta is becoming more and more authoritarian.

His answer should be required for all Albertans!

They are just deciding we are no longer a democratic province? What the heck!?
accountability for thee, and not for me, he said.
Today Elections Alberta requested $13.5 million to be able to administer recalls and referendum.

The UCP committee in charge revised their request to just over $1 million.

And then voted it through.

The UCP just defunded recall/referendum.

Here is the list of laws that were overridden by the UCP (along with the same article I just shared). People need to remember this and vote accordingly.
"Here is a short list of the government laws and codes that are now overridden by Bill 2:

The Labour Relations Code;
The Public Education Collective Bargaining Act;
The Alberta Bill of Rights;
The Alberta Human Rights Act;
The Education Act."

⚠️ URGENT: Danielle Smith has invoked the Notwithstanding Clause to force teachers back to work, in addition to her plan to use the Clause to override trans rights.

This is unprecedented and violates rights, overrides the courts, and puts everyone’s rights in danger.

Wish we had him here in Alberta!
Meanwhile, in Manitoba…

At least one premier has a grasp of just how serious using the notwithstanding clause is…

And is taking steps to ensure that at least one province doesn’t use it before hearing from the courts.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith has STILL not issued a public apology for completely fabricating a story about a young child attending a concert.

Smith claimed his parents were recovering from addiction without any basis at all & refuses to apologize.

#abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli
This is a MUST listen!

The mother who was falsely represented by the Premier of Alberta for clicks spoke out this morning.

Danielle Smith fabricated a story about a family who has simply chosen a sober lifestyle.

This family deserves an apology.
