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.

Right!

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.

'“It 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

The graphs are pretty clear.

Results are coming in....

I trust them more than the UCPs polls for sure.

The results of this poll are going to be fascinating!

Alberta teacher prompts petition on province's private school funding | CBC News If high school chemistry teacher Alicia Taylor gets her wish, Albertans will vote in a referendum on whether to end public funding for independent schools.

Elections Alberta has approved a citizen-initiated petition application to gather signatures in support of the proposal to end public funding to independent/private schools.

Calgary teacher Alicia Taylor says she brought it forward because it could help improve funding for public schools. #AbEd

#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.

Political interference in health care sets a dangerous precedent.

The CMA is calling on the Alberta government to refrain from using the notwithstanding clause to enact legislation that threatens patient care.

This is sick and a war crime.

Far right folks are fuming over the UCP's book ban. Not over the party's abandonment of libertarian principles. But over the Edmonton Public School Board's choice to follow the new law.

If you have friends in those circles, just ask: Which of the 200 EPSB books should stay on shelves?
