2/8 The logic is seductive: let those who can pay exit the public queue, shortening it for everyone else.
But this fails the laws of physics.
👉 The number of doctor hours is finite. You aren't adding capacity; you're just reshuffling the line based on a wallet biopsy rather than medical need. 👈

The UCP has invoked the notwithstanding clause pre-emptively. Again. This time to strip the Charter rights of trans children and adults.
This is sadly and entirely predictable from a populist government bent on removing checks on its power. 🧵

Let's be clear about what happened today.
Premier Smith introduced a bill to strip Albertans of Charter rights,
denied MLAs the opportunity to debate it and the courts the ability to scrutinize it,
and did all of this from her seat on a jet to Saudi Arabia.

The UCP government has invoked time allocation and on a bill removing Albertans' Charter rights.
And they're using the notwithstanding clause to do it.
Here's why that is a dangerous precedent. And why real conservatives need to stand up against it.

Where's the premier while MLAs rush through an all-night debate on stripping Albertans of their Charter rights?
An airport lounge, waiting for a flight to Saudi Arabia. She didn't even bother to show up for the vote.
I remember when conservatives turfed premiers for this level of hubris.

The UCP accidentally posted their master plan for the teachers strike ahead of Smith’s presser.
$30 a DAY for kids under 12 starting at the end of October.
That’s it.
Imagine if they had just increased per student funding by $6000 a year per student?

Una de las cosas hermosas del arte callejero es que puede resignificarse y revalorarse incluso cuando se le quiere censurar.
Curiosamente, el resultado final es una potente obra que habla del intento de borrado del genocidio por parte de los políticos occidentales.
