Alberta lawyers must take Indigenous education course tied to TRC. New legislation could change that | CBC News A little more than five years ago, the regulator for Alberta's lawyers announced that moving forward, all active Alberta lawyers would be required to take a mandatory Indigenous education course. But ...

"It’s a tiny subset [of lawyers] that doesn’t want this education … I don’t understand why there would be pushback about learning about something that is relevant to your practice...”.

That tiny subset reflects UCP ideology.

ROSC, the private detox services provider, is now the tenant in Mraiche's building. 1

How many years ago was it that the Edmonton Police were trying to bust Diotte in an undercover drunk driving sting? Now they're posing for photos with him. But he was a Sun journalist back then, writing negative columns about photo radar. Now he's pro law and order so he gets an EPS photo op.

Yet more evidence that the "arm's length" Alberta Energy Regulator is a farce. The UCP govt told the AER not to enforce flaring rules, not to tell the public about it, and prostrate itself to the rogue energy companies and they did as they were told.
