At the risk of being too depressing here, people can still fight their policies and elicit a change in policy (see: coal mining in the Rockies). The problem is that a significant number of Albertans support what they're doing in these cases.

So who holds our provincial government in check if they’ve somehow circumvented any way the actual people who live and reside in Alberta can fight their policies?

Today, government introduced Bill 9 legislation invoking the notwithstanding clause to override a court ruling that protects youth access to gender-affirming care. This places government between a patient and their physician, undermining clinical autonomy. www.albertadoctors.org/news/publica...

Growing up evangelical I was always taught Catholics are not Christian
every sunday, from pulpits in megachurches across america, white evangelicals cry out about some imaginary persecution of christianity. but i can’t stop thinking about the pile of rosaries collected by a janitor at a border crossing or the priest turned away at the gates of the detention camp.
“Federal authorities told demonstrators Friday that there would be ‘no more prayer’ in front of or inside the Broadview ICE facility, in a move that mystified local leaders and raised legal questions.” blockclubchicago.org/2025/11/07/f...

Not sure why people keep showing up to Johnson’s press conferences. All he says is “I don’t know, I haven’t done my homework”.
Even days later it’s still the same answer until the press is given a fresh piece of meat for Mr I play a Christian on TV to claim ignorance about his job

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.

Every Albertan should be outraged.
Our govt just rammed thru a full on attack on our constitutional rights.
If they’ll do this to our teachers, nobody’s constitutional rights will be safe.
This cannot be allowed to stand.

In the FIVE ENTIRE MONTHS of bargaining since Alberta teachers rejected the previous contract offer, the province offered [checks notes] a free Covid shot and one additional EA per school.
This was never a real negotiation and they know it. This strike is on them. Solidarity with teachers.

The UCP in Alberta have quietly announced a ban on covid vaccination for most kids under 12, please report on this and do anything you can to stop it.
They have revised to a two phase rollout, neither of which make kids without severe medical eligible for vaccination.

We need to ask who MADE this policy.
I went back over the 22 Aug press release, and Blake is correct - it says more than once that "all Albertans" not eligible under phase 1 will be part of phase 2. Journalists, please question Smith and LaGrange about limiting covid vax to those under 12. Also, ask if the CMOH endorses this policy.
The fall immunization program will help protect those at highest risk of severe outcomes from COVID-19.
Eligible Albertans will receive the vaccine free of charge. Other Albertans will pay a fee of $100. Learn more www.alberta.ca/release.cfm?... #Alberta #ableg #abhealth
