A few companies have made a great deal of money under the Alberta Recovery Model and there's little to show that they have actually delivered on the outcomes Albertans expect. Are people's health outcomes better off with a two-tier, American-style healthcare? The answer is almost always NO.

Rough, sketchy drawing of a cat giving the middle finger. It is directed at Premier Danielle Smith. Text on the image reads: "Everyday in Berta: How fucking dare you, Smith."

Calgary police are on a rampage downtown, using drones to find people and clear them off streets. Posting photos of unhoused folks they arrest (see twitter).

It’s collective punishment for social disorder and violence they have failed to improve with prior violence.

Film the cops if you see them.

Amnesty International Canada condemns Alberta government’s use of notwithstanding clause in Bill 2 Alberta's use of the notwithstanding clause in Bill 2 means that courts won’t be able to strike down the law even if it violates the Charter.

"Alberta’s use of the notwithstanding clause continues an alarming trend of provincial governments putting political expediency ahead of people’s human rights." #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli

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

The UCP government has invoked time allocation and on a bill removing Albertans' Charter rights.

And they're using the notwithstanding clause to do it.

Here's why that is a dangerous precedent. And why real conservatives need to stand up against it.

Braid: Upstart Calgary Party aims to boot the province out of city hall business The Calgary Party and mayoral candidate Brian Thiessen say the big issue is provincial intrusion into city hall by Premier Danielle Smith.

'β€œIt is not too much to ask that the premier of Alberta demonstrate the same level of respect for the mayor of Calgary and Calgary city council that she demands from the prime minister,” he said."

2 bar graphs show the outcome of the angus reid survey held last week. As well it says:   The public school system teacher strike has also brought to the forefront questions around Alberta’s spending on the parallel private system. Seven-in-ten (71%) say that the provincial government should be mainly focused on improving public schools. At the same time, three-in-five (60%) want fewer public funds to go towards private schools in general

#UCP = MAGA

UCP/MAGA want quality education only in private schools.
then public school kids are perpetually disadvantaged; a permanent underclass of exploitable labour.

Think! And then get in #UCP's way.
Don't let AB kids suffer as US kids do. #ableg #abpoli #ableg
