Teachers and unions were first (Bill 2).

Trans Albertans are next (Bill 9).

The UCP's 2025 AGM Resolutions reveal a much longer list of folks whose rights are at risk from the party's use of the notwithstanding clause.

I feel attacked.

This could be us Alberta.

Build like Amsterdam, build like Paris is such a funny comment opposing middle housing.

It doesn’t have to be like this.

"On Sunday, October 26, about 40 masked and uniformed Second Sons Canada and Frontenac Active Club blackshirts led by MacKenzie assembled in front of CBC headquarters in Ottawa with a banner reading 'CBC hates white people'.

A similar number assembled in front of the CBC building in Regina."

Labour relations expert weighs in on Alberta’s use of notwithstanding clause An Alberta labour relations expert says Alberta’s use of the notwithstanding clause to force teachers back to work marks one of the most aggressive labour moves in Canadian history.

Not seeing much analysis circulating about the NCW's invocation —just lots of (righteous) outrage.

Holy shit!

Call your MLA and the Premier’s office. Let them know you oppose the invocation of S33 and support the Union response.

Successfully or not, one of the inspiring things of Lukaszuk's leadership is that we can't just sit on our ass expecting things to change.

I'll answer my own question: because they value the property claims (I refuse to use the language of rights in relation to property; there's a reason the Charter does not protect property) of offshore mining companies more than they the value the real human rights of Albertans. #abpoli

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

Nicolaides is certainly on the defensive today. Good time remind Albertans that he only won his riding by 625 votes and there is currently a recall petition for him circulating. #ableg #abpoli

This whiskey will kill this burgeoning throat infection, right?

We can’t negotiate and we can’t rely on a narcissistic bully. You can only make them hurt.

Winter cycling isn’t for everyone but you don’t need to be superhuman or a masochist to do it either.

Alberta has focused on collecting the rest of the country’s morons, I’m not confident an immigration wave is going to solve out problem.

Maybe we should think about whether we should allow antivax premiers like Danielle Smith to make it harder to get these?

Doorstep concerns contrast to online vitriol, say some returning incumbents Candidates say public mood at the doorstop very different from what was seen on social media

Just have agentic AI hallucinate errors in a veterans service record, automate eliminating their benefits, and then pay the overworked staff nothing to correct the errors.

#yeg bylaws should require secure parking in all new buildings over 8 units.

I think an interesting story so far of the #yeg election is how ineffective the party politics was this election.

1 hour, Holyrood, starting at 0930.
Wife at the same location in the afternoon was closer to 90 minutes.

Basically, in #yeg any party associated candidate is a conservative. Progressives didn’t stand-up any party infrastructure.

TBA associate and known homophobe Benita Pedersen was hired as their main consultant. Ward Métis candidate is a known UCP support and pedaler of ”homeless industrial complex” conspiracy.

As forewarned, unnecessary changes to municipal voting ID requirements made by Ric McIver to appease the UCP's far-right fringe are causing major delays in voting. Watch for McIver to accuse municipalities of not being properly prepared. 1

They can’t for the count but they still have to check your address against the poll location.

Wife reporting lines not moving for 40 minutes in Ward Métis.

One guy just left his wife in line for 20 minutes to talk to a neighbour until she got to the front of the line and I am shocked he is still married
