Not so much “on our own” as “we have to stop Smith on our own”.

In my most conspiracy-minded opinion, smith almost seems like she’s daring the feds to try and act in a way that will support her separatist buddies; which is to suggest (let alone actually say) she’s not doing the bestest things which she was elected to do.

🚨 NEW: This week on ‘Whatever This Is’ we explain Danielle Smith’s Bill 11 healthcare smokescreen.

The policy hits you hard when you need surgery. You face tens of thousands or wait even longer.

PM Mark Carney can stop this before surgery becomes a product in Canada: MakeTheSave.ca #ableg #abpoli

The UCP is hiding privatization behind “medically necessary” care and hoping no one asks if Albertans will still have universal coverage for “timely” care.

Danielle Smith might be surprised to learn how many Albertans don't give a fuck about Prager U. ... oops, I mean JPA.

I think this is actually the most ethical choice the UCP has made.

The Alberta Next Panel was a partisan exercise dressed up as public engagement. Not forcing public service professionals to lie about that was a good thing.

He absolutely was ❤️

R-L: Me, Dr. Stuebing, and “Megan 4.0”

My stats and criminology prof, Dr. Bill Stuebing, passed away yesterday. He wasn’t just a prof, he was a teacher. He taught us to question what we read and what we knew. He was more than a teacher; he was a mentor and a champion of knowledge.
RIP ❤️

This is giving me goosebumps. Here’s the report the Senate released in 2022, in the wake of the disastrous 2021 Sumas Prairie flood. These weather reports make me wonder if we are any better prepared for this week’s flood threat. #SenateofCanada #SumasPrairie #Abbotsford

It is a testament to the width & breadth of our love for our children that we sit through their elementary band performances.

Alberta government amends bill after chief electoral officer warns it harms trust EDMONTON - Alberta's government has made last-minute changes to a bill after the province's chief electoral officer warned it would impede the independence of his office.

“McClure will no longer be able to deny citizen-led referendum proposals if the proposed questions aren't factually accurate, go against the Constitution or if they don't have clearly explained subject matter statements.”

Bring back intramural sport in schools ffs.

I’m really, REALLY hoping one of opposition groups mounts a S28 charter challenge of the sports ban.

They are afraid, very afraid. Trying ng to cover their arse so they don't actually get recalled. Yep he's afraid. #abpoli #ableg #corruptcare #neverucp #runucprun

That’s totally fair; I just second-guessed it after he said “males” later. One more day; one more day…

Disclaimer: he might have said “males” as he did in answer to the next question; they both start with “m” and my brain is becoming fried after five weeks of QP…

Biological men? Girls. He means girls. And apparently two or three specifically because that's how many trans girls are playing junior high sports in the entire province.

This draconian law is about boot licking christian extremist cults who vote UCP. #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli

But there IS a rule stating that one recall petition is approved against an MLA and it fails, nobody can try again to recall that member until after the next election.
So a do-nothing recall campaign can serve as a catch-and-kill for an MLA's supporter.

Alberta amends Bill 14 after chief electoral officer raises red flag about 'partisan influence' | CBC News The chief electoral officer copied all MLAs on a letter outlining his concerns, sent before the bill went to second reading.

This bit of legislative manoeuvring by Amery:
Elections Alberta warns that Justice Minister is usurping its discretion on vetting citizen's initiatives...
so Amery amends Bill 14 so that NOBODY can vet a referendum question for fact, jurisdiction, constitutionality, etc www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Someone bring me my hockey stick.
