BRAVO ALBERTANS!!!

“UCP faces mounting challenges from its own Recall Act.”

“The model for this Alberta-pure eruption is Thomas Lukaszuk’s stunning success in collecting 456,000 signatures for his #ForeverCanadian campaign.”

There are few lessons to be learned here:

- Consider who the source is 🤥

- Don’t count chickens before they hatch 🐣

- Never underestimate the #ForeverCanadian movement 💪

Tomorrow, from 9 AM to noon, St. Albert students are organizing a walk-out and a march in support of Teachers.

As a dad, former Teacher and education minister, I support this. Missing school is warranted in support of social justice and civil right.

I’ll join them.

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.

456,365 #ForeverCanadian signatures (plus few dozen last minute arrivals). I’m told it’s the biggest petition in Canada’s history.

None of this would happen if not for thousands of volunteers and your love for Canada.🇨🇦

Thank you! This is Alberta’s and Canada’s victory.

I hope that the Premier reconsiders her desire to invoke the “notwithstanding clause” in dealing with Teachers.

This very rarely used clause, stripping Canadians of civil rights, has no place in collective bargaining.

General strike would be a commensurate response.

Today, I submitted 456,365 Albertans’ signatures to Elections Alberta, petitioning the Premier to do the right thing, avoid a divisive and economically harmful referendum, and allow MLAs to vote and reaffirm that Alberta’s future is in Canada.🇨🇦

First Colbert, now Kimmel.

Last-minute settlements, secret side deals, multi-billion dollar mergers pending Donald Trump's approval.

Trump silencing free speech stifles our democracy. It sure looks like giant media companies are enabling his authoritarianism.
