St. Albert students organized a short walk-out in support of Teachers and civil rights.

Canada is in good hands with engaged youth.

At some point, school boards, the ATA, parents, etc. are going to have to face up to the fact that the UCP is dead set on ending public education, not improve it.

We need to judge the UCP by their actions, not their words.

It will be interesting to see how overriding charter rights, forcing a rejected labour deal on workers, and threatening substantial fines will impact Alberta's plan to add and recruit 3,000 new teachers over the next 3 years.

My approval remains steadfast because I can’t go any lower.

Remember when Danielle Smith condemned the "arrogance" of a government for passing laws in a matter of days?

Now she's rammed through a law stripping teachers' charter rights in a single day.

Seems the "democratic process" no longer matters to her now that she's in power.

Danielle Smith is using the notwithstanding clause to protect herself while crushing individuals' Charter rights.

That’s not freedom, that’s cowardice.

And Albertans won’t stand for it.

It is a mistake to shrug this off as simply "getting teachers back to work" or "getting kids back in the classroom." While that is certainly the government's justification, the implications of what the government just did are far more troubling than solving this (extremely) complex issue.

In short, the Smith government has virtually destroyed meaningful collective bargaining in the province. Has done nothing to protect public education (arguably making it worse) has shielded itself from legal accountability and has reinforced an authoritarian approach to workers and work in AB.

Best news I've heard in a long while, a breath of fresh air to counteract the horrors perpetrated by the UCP. Canada is such a great country despite its faults.

The ATA has released a statement in the early hours of October 28th…

“The fight has just begun”

Let's be clear about what happened today.

Premier Smith introduced a bill to strip Albertans of Charter rights,

denied MLAs the opportunity to debate it and the courts the ability to scrutinize it,

and did all of this from her seat on a jet to Saudi Arabia.

Thank you for your efforts, sir! Very much appreciated whatever the outcome

My gosh, if the premier would grant to teachers a fraction of the respect she gives to her O&G buddies we wouldn’t be in this situation. Let’s see some good faith bargaining from the UCP!

Got off the plane and walked into a drug store in Ottawa and got my COVID vaccine in under 5 minutes. No line up. No appointment. No cost.

Was even asked if I wanted Moderna or Pfizer.

It’s unconscionable that we can’t get this same level of service in Alberta.

Alberta’s $88-Billion Cleanup Scam:The UCP Plans to Stick You With Big Oil’s Trash
Danielle Smith’s so-called “Mature Assets Strategy” isn’t an energy plan — it’s a bailout. Behind bureaucratic language like “backstopping” hides a simple truth: the UCP wants Albertans to pay for Big Oil’s mess.

Amen, sister

Keith Gerein: Forget Texas, Alberta has its own gerrymandering effort underway against urban centres Two UCP cabinet ministers want to create hybrid, rural-urban provincial ridings in Alberta in that may favour the party's political interests.

“It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that if you take part of that constituency and weld it onto Spruce Grove, the result is likely to change in the UCP’s favour.”

Smith’s Anti-Democratic Electoral ‘Reforms’ Are Straight from Trump’s Playbook | The Tyee It’s no accident the changes were announced as attention was focused on the federal election.

While billed as technical updates to restore faith in elections in Alberta, sweeping changes made by the UCP Tuesday do precisely the opposite. @jaredwesley.ca writes. #abpoli

Oh yeah!

I refuse to watch CTV any more.

Oh boy, this is straight bullshit. Cowering in the face of online trolls because it's "too distracting" is especially embarrassing considering the insane amount of trolling @rachelgilmore.bsky.social has put up with for YEARS and still managed to do her job, and well.

Thank you for your support. It’s the only reason I’m able to stand up for myself today.

I appreciate you so much.

I started rewatching Star Trek last week. Might just be nostalgia but you guys were great.

It boggles the mind how Premier Smith can take a harder line stance against the prime minister of her own country than the president of an enemy nation.

If she's unsure who is the bigger threat, her advisors have failed all Albertans miserably.

Justin Trudeau, the privilege, responsibility and burden of holding public office is one that few fully appreciate. You carried out your service with purpose and dignity.

Gratitude is also due to your loved ones, who silently shared in the responsibility.

Thank you.
