Alberta used notwithstanding clause to avoid costly arbitration with teachers, infrastructure minister says Alberta infrastructure minister says the province invoked the notwithstanding clause to force teachers back was due to cost.

I concluded this weeks ago. They didn't hide it.

The UCP didn't have to use the notwithstanding clause. They wanted to, in order to avoid an arbitration process they knew they'd lose.

Canadians most want to export fossil fuels to the two world regions where demand for fossil fuels is in decline

This demonstrates Canadians' general ignorance of the reality of global fossil fuel demand & our disinterest in the consequences of exporting fossil fuels

I will believe in the end of identity politics when steel and lumber (28,000 jobs and 105,000 jobs respectively) stop getting bailouts, while higher education (310,000 jobs) collapses in front of our eyes because it's full of ivory tower elites

Super cool that we've got a deal for a path towards a pipeline that's tied to a carbon capture project, as if that makes it okay

when carbon capture one of the most expensive and least effective options for addressing climate change, and oil companies often use it to EXTRACT MORE OIL!!!!

Folks, two things can true at the same time.

These 2 National Guard members should not have been shot, and it's a disgusting act of violence. And, Trump + Miller have deliberately deployed them to incite division { violence. That's part of Miller's plan. They have no reason to be in our cities.

Danielle Smith is dismantling public healthcare piece by piece. If she isn’t stopped, universal care will be decimated.

Mark Carney must draw a line and that starts with standing up for healthcare.
