What's at the root of the UCP's use of the notwithstanding clause?

Our @partyloyalty.bsky.social research suggests hyperpartisanship is playing a huge role.

The locker room mentality in the UCP caucus is encouraging MLAs to cede even more power to the premier's office.

That's bad for democracy.

CUPE fights for access ( #AxeTheVaxTax ), but UCP Resolution #19’s antivax minority is pushing a conspiracy-based policy to BAN safe mRNA vaccines. They are trying to take choice away! This is a dangerous, non-science contradiction

Lest We Forget

Divided highway speed limit increase survey The Government of Alberta wants to hear your opinion about raising the posted speed limits on divided highways.

Yes, accidents will likely be fatal at a speed of 120 km/h. Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should. Because people speed doesn’t mean the government should increase the speed limit.

The Accidental Advocate: Sometimes Silence Isn’t an Option Reboot Alberta / Coffee’s On invites you to a free, inspiring evening focused on community action and civic courage, in partnership with Give Voice AB. This event is about people, not politics. It’s about real Albertans who care deeply about their communities and chose to step forward when it mattered most. Change doesn’t start in government offices — it starts with people willing to get involved, build trust, and take part in meaningful conversations. Come hear the real stories from Albertans who made the courageous decision to step out of their role as private citizens and become public figures and powerful advocates. Learn how you can transition from being an observer to an effective, community-minded leader. About the Hosts Reboot Alberta / Coffee’s On: Reboot Alberta promotes thoughtful public discussion online, while Coffee’s On focuses on bringing people together in person — connecting neighbours, sharing ideas, and building community through coffee and conversation. Give Voice AB: A community group that meets over coffee to plan and carry out local advocacy efforts.

I was filming for a friend, & thought I'd share it with everyone. Raider is permanently lame, & can't be ridden. He's served me well in the past, now its my turn to care for him.

As we approach Remembrance Day, I hope Mr. Carney remembers this. #BudgetCuts #VAC

Axe the Vax Tax: Health Shouldn’t Come With a Price Tag Charging for vaccines means fewer people get protected. Families living paycheck to paycheck will skip vaccines. Workers will get sick, especially health care and education workers.

Take a listen Alberta.
This man was on the inside. He saw the corruption… the waste… the govt interference in processes that should be arm’s length.
He spoke up and the kicked him out.
The CEO spoke up and they fired her.
When will Albertans speak up?

Documents related to Summit coal decision raise more questions about Alberta Energy Regulator’s independence Regulator’s CEO sought ‘input’ from Energy Minister’s chief of staff on a motion to cancel hearings about a proposed mine

Not only did the AER's CEO unlawfully interfere with the hearing process for Summit's Mine 14, he called the Minister's office for "input" pretty much as soon as the application for reconsideration came in. That's a foul.
