Everybody in AB needs to take a stand. Workers, parents, kids, grandparents!

YES. People get off your butts and do your civic duty. If Nepal could do it, Alberta can rid ourselves of these facists!

As expected, the UCP are invoking time allocation in the legislature right now—only one hour of debate on Bill 2, which will force striking teachers back to work, will be allowed.

Jared Wesley @jaredwesley.ca · 1d

What's the hurry?

In just 6 years, the UCP has been responsible for nearly half of all time allocation motions in Alberta history.

They're promising to do it again today, this time ramming through a bill that removes Charter rights in a matter of hours.

Despite what the #ucp keeps claiming most of Alberta's population growth came from people who moved from other provinces. Yet the government who ran a campaign called "Alberta is calling" now seems completely unprepared that these new people might have kids that need to go to school.

We no longer have a functioning democracy in AB. UCP refuse to listen to Albertan’s & are using the privilege of being a majority government to ram through legislation without proper debate. Each & every 1 of the UCP MLA’s need to be held criminally responsible for every single act of harm. #abpoli

The UCP are overriding democracy and that’s not hyperbole

The Breakdown AB @thebreakdownab.bsky.social · 1d

The legislation is supposed to embargoed until tabled, but if this is accurate…

Smith is invoking the notwithstanding clause to force teachers back to work.

Which is an admission that she is violating charter rights.

It is a dark day in Alberta.

The UCP is calling to limit debate time on the teachers' back to work legislation.

The NDP counters by saying that its funny they're limiting time on this when they've had years to address class size issues.

If you live in the Calgary-Bow riding, sign this recall petition. Send a message to Batshit's UCP - enough is enough.

Courtney Theriault @ctheriault.bsky.social · 2d

Education Minister Demetrios Nicolaides pens a letter to voters in Calgary Bow.

Says he is a firm believer in recall, but says the petition against him is attempting to subvert democracy.

He argues it's not about his conduct but rather the policies he's put forward.

Smith / #UCP: We can't afford another $2B over 4yrs.

Public - that's $500M / yr.

Smith / #UCP - So?

Public - You put $500M / yr into PRIVATE schools.

Smith/ #UCP - were hoping you wouldn't notice that.

We noticed. Put tax dollars into PUBLIC schools.

HOW will you oppose it? How will you support teachers, parents, students and don’t forget us grandparents doing a lot of childcare and teaching during the strike!

From the DM’s…

As Danielle Smith and the UCP are focused on violating the charter and bringing in a provincial police force…

This is the state of healthcare in Alberta…

We are at the point where Danielle Smith would rather violate charter rights and create a constitutional crisis…

Instead of paying teachers fairly and giving kids the classrooms they need.

Read that again.

Because this is where we are.

Please Alberta teachers …… stand your ground. Elbows up. Do not comply with back to work legislation.

albertamj.bsky.social @albertamj.bsky.social · 6d

Don’t comply with back to work legislation. We are with you! As a grandparent, I want my granddaughter to have good public education. I will teach her all year if I have to!

If 4.9 million kids with asthma is a national health priority, what does it mean when 5.8 million have Long Covid?

Why is the #1 chronic condition in children being ignored?

How can we oppose this insanity? I am beyond enraged at Smith’s idiotic plan to not only make us pay for vaccines but make them ridiculously hard to access through public health that operate M-F 8:30 am to 4:30 pm!
