Opinion: Notwithstanding clause never meant to be used to benefit the government Dave King was was there when clause was born in Alberta cabinet. It was never meant to be used for the benefit of the government itself.

“the Alberta cabinet of 1981 would have said the notwithstanding clause was never meant to be used as a first resort. It was meant to be used, if at all, only as a last resort, after every other recourse had been exhausted.”

At some point, when all this is settled, I would like the BC public to hold this person to account for her disinformation and the community harm it has wreaked.

Well done @brishti.bsky.social getting more for the public record.

I survived my interview. 😝

I read yesterday that Australia has installed so much solar capacity it will start giving people free electricity during peak hours.

Meanwhile, my overarching concern about the law, also uttered variously by Drs. Esther Tailfeathers, Janelle Syring and even Monty Ghosh, is that it harkens the return of residential schools.

Today in the U.S. there are people who make $7.25 an hour who are juggling limited resources to help provide food to people who need it even worse than they do.

In it's effort to appease the endless greed of the wealthy the U.S. government has failed the people.

Liberals = Conservatives

@mark-carney.bsky.social @canadiangreens.bsky.social @ndp.ca

It’s everything they said they ever wanted on a silver platter: A real, bonafide Harperite austerity budget through and through and true to contrarian form they’re throwing in back in Libs’ faces, saying they don’t want it and it’s not good enough.

This also applies to Canada. All levels of government are giving our money to private interests. That isn’t how it’s supposed to work.

The GOVERNMENT is supposed to take care of the PEOPLE.

The MONEY in the government is OUR money.

Corporations are the ONLY abusers of “welfare”.

We have been MANIPULATED beyond belief in this country.

We DESERVE to THRIVE. Not barely survive..

Thank you 🤗
