A GREAT DAY FOR A PARADE

Spectacular scenes in Regina as the province celebrates the Saskatchewan Roughriders Grey Cup championship.

I love that the players are taking the Cup to the fans. They get it. It’s for all of Rider Nation.

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. 🧵

If the UCP's priority is to address the health and well-being of kids, then why haven't they fixed wait times at the Stollery that result in things like chemo sessions being canceled or long-standing classroom complexity issues instead of infringing on the rights of 0.37% of Alberta's population

As a minister I strongly condemn the odious actions by conservatives in this province.

Invoking the Notwithstanding clause is a curtailment of democracy. But foremost, it advances the American far-right agenda rooted in diminishing trans lives in this province, notably trans youth. #abpoli #ableg
Supported by all UCP members present (36) and independents Pete Guthrie and Scott Sinclair.

Danielle Smith can't stop lying.

She once guaranteed that "no Albertan would ever have to pay out of pocket" to see a doctor. Now, she's bringing in an American-style healthcare system that will force you to do exactly that.

Stand up to Smith's lies 🔽

Protect public health care. Say no to Smith's American-style health care plan.
We’ve just learned the UCP government has a fully-fledged plan to bring American-style health care to Alberta, forcing you to pay to see your doctor.

From the DM’s…

The UCP Caucus was apparently up late last night in a blind panic over recall. They’re allegedly desperate to find any reason that they can sell to their base to justify shutting down the existing recall efforts.

“Even if the measure passes through the House and Senate and is signed into law, it's unlikely the Justice Dept would release the entire Epstein file. Any materials related to ongoing investigations or WH claims of executive privilege will likely remain out of public view.”
