Provincial overriding of Charter Rights should be subject to mandatory Public Inquiry. Much as the Feds are when they do it.

The Provinces, when they suspended Charter Rights, should be subject to the same mandatory Public Inquiry that the Federal government does if they invoke the Emergencies Act.

So a ucp lackey is questioning the validity of an election.
The election problems specifically relate to changes introduced by his ucp masters.
And the media completely fails to mention any connection.
Great job copy/pasting the fascist propaganda, local media.

Hahaha that's funny. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent became chief investment officer for Soros’s firm and played a major role in several landmark financial trades, including the 1992 bet against the British pound that earned Soros over $1 billion (“Black Wednesday”).

Too bad no one in the Trump administration knows about a guy called George Soros. When the money market smells blood in the water it's all but over. Soros knew this during his famed GBP Exchange Rate Mechanism gambit.

I can't see with all the smoke that this scandal is giving off. At what point does the Premier, finally, announce a public inquiry? This is not about restructuring health care in Alberta, it is corruption.

Any Premier, for any reason, that invokes the notwithstanding clause of the Charter of Rights should have to defend the position in a prompt mandated Public Inquiry. Just like the Federal government does if they enact Emergency Measures.

There isn't a statement Smith makes any more that isn't the epistemological equivalent of a septic hose. There is no truth to anything she says, ever, because her agenda is so odious to the vast majority that she cannot admit to anything directly but must encode it for her fringe online base.

Premier Smith touts new citizenship markers on driver’s licenses and provincial IDs as means of preserving “election integrity” and “streamlining services.”

Those justifications aren't borne out by evidence, leading critics to conclude there's an ulterior motive. @jaredwesley.ca writes. #abpoli
