Can we stop calling these atrocities "deportations." These people sold to El Salvadorian prisons were not deported. Deportation is a process that did not take place. They were rounded up and removed with no process. They were kidnapped, not deported.

New benefit limits would make it harder for some Alberta families to adopt, advocates say | CBC News

Some key takeaways 🧵(do read the full statement!)
- govt has taken over direct operational control of HC
- if premier/MoH tells any HC leader to do something they CANNOT say no - consequence of doing so is loss of their job and livelihood (& maybe even a permanent ban from AB!)

Budgets are about priorities.
Under the UCP, funding for public education and universities remains frozen, resulting in 'cuts by inflation.'
Funding for private schools has increased above inflation.
In a real way, this means money is flowing from public to private schools.
