Growing white nationalist group behind broad daylight demonstration in London on Sunday | CBC News An apparent white nationalist demonstration on a busy overpass near London, Ont.'s downtown on Sunday afternoon is concerning for witnesses and experts who track extremist behaviour.

AB Politics 101: Premier Danielle Smith's master class in selective history.

AB portrays itself as a peripheral colony serving the industrial priorities of Canadaโ€™s core.

Smith's pressure on B.C. to compromise marine ecology for AB's economic benefit replicates that very dynamic.

That is all!

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, I hope Albertans will remember that trans kids and teens are living breathing humans who just want to be themselves, without fear of hate and discrimination. Demonizing kids merely to score political points in some weird culture war is craven and cruel.

I knew that this day was coming. The UCP had been warning for months that they were going to take away the rights of transgender people (not just children but adults too). I thought I was prepared. But I am still very angry that it has happened.

Hey folks โ€“ this is Nate.
Nate is a #UCP MLA for #Lethbridge East.
Nate, for the second time in a month, voted to implement the Notwithstanding Clause.
Even though I heard he disagrees with the NWC's use.
This all sounds rather cowardly.
I'll have something more to say about Nate.
Stay tuned.

Iโ€™ll say it.

The UCP just invoked the notwithstanding clause on laws actively before the courts so they can rob Albertans of their human rights.
