A bear asks a rabbit if it bothers him when his fur is dirty with poo. The rabbit says no, so the bear wipes his poppy butt with the rabbit

Not sure where the creds go for this cartoon, but it came to mind for me in following this bullsh#@

Now find a chief medical officer of health that wants the job…wait, no one wants it!!

How many leaders have been duped by a charismatic schmuck? Goodness, give me strength!

That’s whacked!!

Alberta to invoke notwithstanding clause to shield 3 transgender bills from court challenges | CBC News The Alberta government has tabled legislation that seeks to invoke the notwithstanding clause to shield a suite of bills that affects transgender youth and adults from legal challenges.

I am pretty sure that when Merv Leitch and Peter Lougheed first created the notwithstanding clause, they didn’t mean it to be deployed to bully and oppress literal school children. #ableg #abpoli #TransRightsAreHumanRights #Alberta #notwithstandingclause

For me preemptively using the notwithstanding clause to strip kids of their Charter rights and prevent legal challenges shows that Alberta government knows their shitty discriminatory bills will not stand up to legal scrutiny from the jump. This is lazy ass governance as per usual.

IMO the UCP incompetence is just a cover for their corruption

Epstein survivors just dropped a powerful message for Congress, and it hits like a warning: no more waiting, the truth is coming, ready or not.

Opinion: Notwithstanding clause never meant to be used to benefit the government Dave King was was there when clause was born in Alberta cabinet. It was never meant to be used for the benefit of the government itself.

David King was there, he knows.

"It was never meant to be used for the benefit of the government itself, only for the benefit of citizens (the public). It was never meant to be introduced in the middle of a long-standing process, to force a particular outcome."

Alberta conservative voters: “Floor crossers are SCUM!”

Also Alberta conservative voters: *elect a Premier who crossed the floor when she was leader of the official opposition, & has a Chief of Staff who - as an MLA - crossed the floor so many times we named him “Roomba Rob”.

Heads up for people in Calgary Cross. Your MLA is about to be recalled. Help if you can.

“This reflects a flagrant disregard for fundamental rights and freedoms, and a cavalier attitude which is shocking to Albertans and to Canadians.”

Criminal defense lawyers across the province weigh in on Smith’s use of the notwithstanding clause.

Wow, Danielle Smith must have ingested too much ivermectin recently. What a swing!

"... because when one fundamental freedom is denied, it is possible to imagine other fundamental freedoms being denied, including our own “freedom of conscience and religion.”

Edmonton's Anglican Diocese calls for UCP to withdraw Notwithstanding clause.

Rick Bell has upped himself yet again.

His headline claims there is no jail for CP.

There is absolutely still jail, up to a max of 14 years (and the max should be higher).

Rick used be be about speaking truth to power.

Now he’s just a mouthpiece FOR power.

Keeping up with the UCP government's democratic transgressions can be difficult.

But not impossible.

Here’s a running list since Danielle Smith became premier. 🧵👇

Letters like this make me proud of the #ForeverCanadian movement that we’ve built. It proves that ordinary people can do extraordinary things. Albertans have found their voice and are now exercising it.

Populist politicians have divided us for far too long. Now is the time to focus on unity.

The UCP government created and championed the Citizens Initiative Act as a fundamental part of our democracy - giving citizens the right to launch petitions and recall elected officials.
Now they're walking away from that commitment.

Excellent op-ed. Fingers crossed that new leaders bring renewed hope. #cityofleduc, you having a change of heart too?

A photo of a border-crossing road sign that says: Welcome to Alberta. Your constitutional rights end here.

Exciting!

New road signs have been approved by Minister of Transportation and Economic Corridors, Devin Dreeshen.

We didn't need to use the Notwithstanding clause either and a $5.6 million a sole-source contract has been awarded to a private contractor.

Teachers gave up a month's salary to fight for YOUR kids.

Let. That. Sink. In.

Now, they need YOUR support.

I am so proud that the NDP fought for teachers and spoke loudly for the rest of us. In solidarity, I just signed a few petitions and signed up to help my local NDP association. #solidarity #fireucp #charterrights

Alberta Strong and Free, Notwithstanding The UCP's Bill 2 skirts the legislature and the courts, leaving it up to the public to push back swiftly

"Bill 2 is perfectly legal."

"The kids need to go back to class."

I agree.

That doesn't mean the premier should've done an endrun around the legislature and the courts.

If the back-to-work law was defensible, why didn't she defend it before leaving the country?
