The things judges tend to like are the ones that are constitutional.
Perhaps the problem for the premier is is less about judges' opinions and more that she thinks being elected should give her carte blanche and that's (at least currently) not how this works.

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, I hope Albertans will remember that trans kids and teens are living breathing humans who just want to be themselves, without fear of hate and discrimination. Demonizing kids merely to score political points in some weird culture war is craven and cruel.

<span class="field field-title"> In the West, it is a crime to deny one Holocaust and dangerous to name another</span>
</a>
</h2>
<div class="content">
<div class="field field-field-text"><p>The difference between Holocaust denial and <a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/topics/israel-genocide-gaza" target="_blank">Gaza Genocide</a> denial is that Holocaust denial is illegal or a <a href="https://www.europarl.europa.eu/RegData/etudes/BRIE/2021/698043/EPRS_BRI(2021)698043_EN.pdf" target="_blank">criminal offence</a> in many countries, and is, for the most part, the preserve of marginalised kooks and conspiracy theorists.</p>
<p>No self-respecting journalist considers Holocaust denial a legitimate point of view, and no serious media organisation argues that impartiality requires it to provide Holocaust denial with a platform in any serious discussion about <a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/countries/germany" target="_blank">Germany</a>'s extermination of Europe's Jews during World War Two - let alone equal time, or beginning and ending every such discussion with "Germany said".</p>
<p>Gaza <a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/opinion/gaza-genocide-denial-should-be-criminalised-worldwide-why" target="_blank">Genocide denial</a>, by contrast, is a well-organised and orchestrated global <a href="https://mondoweiss.net/2024/05/unpacking-the-israeli-campaign-to-deny-the-gaza-genocide/" target="_blank">campaign</a> sponsored, funded, and avidly promoted - without any hindrance whatsoever - by the regime perpetrating the genocide.</p>
<p>In many states, Gaza Genocide denial counts among its champions elected and other senior <a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/video/inside-story/2025/8/31/could-western-leaders-be-legally-complicit-in-the-gaza-genocide" target="_blank">officials</a>, influential <a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/topics/israel-lobby" target="_blank">lobbies</a> and powerful organisations. Its messages are amplified by an international network of conspiracy theorists, fanatic ideologues and hired hands.</p>
<p>Serious media organisations not only consider it a journalistic requirement to give Gaza Genocide denial a platform and equal time, but they also routinely communicate <a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/countries/israel" target="_blank">Israel</a>'s talking points to their audiences. The BBC's compulsive resort to "<a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cy8ge7vllw9o" target="_blank">Israel says</a>" is a <a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/bbc-coverage-israels-war-gaza-systematically-biased-against-palestinians" target="_blank">case in point</a>.</p>
