The #ucp gov of Alberta claims the #notwithstanding clause was put there to prevent judicial over-reach. They have that exactly wrong and backwards:

The Charter of Rights and Freedoms was formulated precisely to prevent bigoted numpties from trampling all over the fundamental rights of […]

A rare interview with the creators of the always-funny, always-brilliant, and *usually*-sexy—or occasionally anti-sexy—OGLAF!

Cooper has kept a low profile over the years, but is legitimately one of the very best artists in comics today. Read OGLAF if you're old enough to drive!
Talking Oglaf with Trudy Cooper and Doug Bayne: 'We'd stay up all night drawing stuff to make each other laugh' - The Comics Journal
Other than some time off every year for Christmas, Trudy Cooper and Doug Bayne have delivered a new Oglaf comic, skewering fantasy tropes with absolutely not safe for work humor, every week since 2008...

One Internet Point to #incus for having some very nice documentation, from what I've seen so far. Says what it does, then tells you how to make it do that. And it does that!

from the letter: Please help us share this letter with your colleagues before November 4th. If you have applied for Tri-Council funding in the last 25 years, all of your data is at risk of being included and sent to an unnamed researcher and MPs on the committee.

I got my first email back from an MP about this, and they said out of respect for my privacy they can't share my letter with the committee.

If that ain't ironic I don't know what is. I need to take a break before I get myself in trouble by writing a really rude response to that email.

Wab Kinew's gov't tabled bill 50 in Manitoba that won't allow any future provincial gov't to use the notwithstanding clause for provincial legislation without going through the courts first. This is what a true leader does for his constituents. Alberta's and Quebec's leadership pale in comparison.

Very disappointed by today’s ‘announcement’ by Gil McGowan representing the AFL and the Common Front.

Alberta needs action and needs action NOW.

In light of the PSF's recent loss of an NSF grant and attendant funding shortfall, I will be matching donations up to $5000. Send me your receipts.

Very happy if you've already donated for similar reasons but the point is to motivate *new* donations so be sure the timestamp is after this toot 😉.
