When is True North not Juno news?

No one knows!

But today, True North suggested that the Feds should pay for education because immigrants & Nicolaides only pushback was because he wouldn’t want to give the Feds more control.

The more things change…?

#abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Having heard that teachers are exhausted and under resourced to provide mandated standardized testing…

Nicolaides today…

Introduced more standardized testing!

And gave himself access to your kids specific personal information!

An important note…

Smith isn’t just overriding the federal Charter…

She’s also overriding the Alberta Human Rights Act AND the Alberta Bill of Rights she just rewrote.

Big changes ahead for Alberta's provincial elections Government house leader Joseph Schow says the changes will ensure only those who, in his words, "truly care and are serious about representing a community” will be put on the ballot.

“Joseph Schow says the changes will ensure only those who, in his words, "truly care and are serious about representing a community” will be put on the ballot.”

The UCP are bringing purity tests to who can run in elections.

Huh.

Remember that "Alberta Next" panel?

You know, the one that was to decide to put forward a referendum?

If you had any doubts that it was performative, looks like we're going ahead with the Alberta Police Force, referendum free!

Erez Reuveni spent 15 years as an immigration lawyer for the DOJ.

The Trump administration fired him when he refused to defend their lies about Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

When the Michigan governor demanded the return of a man who escaped slavery, #Canada refused.

That moment helped define our national identity.

Now, as laws shift and borders stiffen, I wonder: are we still that safe harbour?

Parker Vows He and Take Back Alberta Will Escape Punishment | The Tyee Elections Alberta ordered fines and prosecution in February. But authorities have not acted.

“David Parker is supremely confident that he will never pay $112,500 in fines levied by Elections Alberta against himself and Take Back Alberta, the political activist organization he leads.”

A breathless Brian Jean has just announced that Alberta will be making oil and gas Alberta’s future for generations.

Smith says that she’s going to use $14 million in taxpayers dollars to push forward planning a bitumen pipeline through northern BC.

no money for teachers tho.

Gaslit by the Yanks. US Ambassador Disappointed by "Elbows Up"

Included a clip. The guy's utterly clueless.

"Our chief concern is that the government is considering a proposal to abbreviate teacher certification for individuals with degrees, diplomas or trade credentials. Teaching is a rigorous profession requiring expertise and specialized skills beyond just subject knowledge."

#abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Danielle Smith also issued a mandate letter to...

Devin Dreeshen, minister of "Dammit Devin get my husband the train set I promised him!"

Sorry...

Minister of Transportation & Economic corridors.

That's it.

Anyways, he's to build a train set.

What To Do When Terrible People Die

The brilliant @brittlestar doesn't mention Charlie Kirk in this wonderful column, but I'm pretty sure that's who he was really thinking of when he wrote it.

It's who I was thinking of when I read it.

I agree.

Your action is unacceptable from a Member of Parliament.

The Right-Wing Plan to Take Over Alberta Education | The Tyee A new report zeroes in on the forces aiming to win control of school boards in next month’s elections.

“Cultural conservatives gradually crafted a narrative of fear that the public education system is undermining traditional values by exposing the children of God-fearing parents to pornography & grooming them to become gay or transgender.”

Former MP used fabricated documents to accuse reporter David Pugliese of being a Russian asset A July report that solicited input from leading experts in typography and graphology determined that the the documents Chris Alexander submitted to a parliamentary committee are forgeries.

Always miss my Daddy extra bad on Labor Day. He was a union steward, and had me on picket lines when I was 8. Hard to get a babysitter when you’re on strike.

That helped lay the groundwork for my central belief that nobody’s free until everybody’s free.

May the workers of the world always unite.

From the FB...

At least one school has resorted to donating books to the public because they simply don't have the resources to catalog all of the books by Smith's deadline.

This is absolutely surreal.

#abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

The UCP defied science & evidence to reopen schools because they believed that there should be nothing that prevents kids from being in school.

But today, paying teachers fairly and addressing underfunding is a bridge too far.

Here’s a sentence you won’t be able to unread…

On “Alberta Day”, Danielle Smith stood beside the lawyer who repped the Coutts blockade and was also Artur Pawlowski’s lawyer in a suit against the government…

Who also heads up a synth pop group.

#abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

From FB...

This is the real consequence of a government that can't think past their first reaction.

The UCP's book ban was poorly thought out, written & executed with unintended consequences that are disastrous.

Everyone saw this coming but them.

#abpoli #abed #cdnpoli

Also from the FB…

Smith and Nicolaides took the cowards way out and issued poorly written sweeping requirements for every board to institute differently.

And now kids literally don’t get to read in some schools.
