NEW: Whether you measure it by number of supporters, fundraising ability, or by the size of its militant groups, the white nationalist movement in Canada has never been larger or more of a threat.

Bitter sweet… There are no more #ForeverCanadian petition signing locations. We are now gathering all petitions and tabulating the results.

Tomorrow, at Elections Alberta, we will announce the number. But it’s not only about the number. We built a movement, a community of hope.

The Premier is ordering teachers back to work by invoking the notwithstanding clause from the airport lounge. #ableg

“Let them eat economy cookies”
Where's the premier while MLAs rush through an all-night debate on stripping Albertans of their Charter rights?

An airport lounge, waiting for a flight to Saudi Arabia. She didn't even bother to show up for the vote.

I remember when conservatives turfed premiers for this level of hubris.

Let's be clear about what happened today.

Premier Smith introduced a bill to strip Albertans of Charter rights,

denied MLAs the opportunity to debate it and the courts the ability to scrutinize it,

and did all of this from her seat on a jet to Saudi Arabia.
The UCP government has invoked time allocation and on a bill removing Albertans' Charter rights.

And they're using the notwithstanding clause to do it.

Here's why that is a dangerous precedent. And why real conservatives need to stand up against it.

Alberta Strong and Free, Notwithstanding
The UCP's Bill 2 skirts the legislature and the courts, leaving it up to the public to push back swiftly

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.

“Under the legislation, teachers would be forced to accept the tentative agreement that 89.5 per cent of them voted against in late September.”

This should be fine.

Alberta uses notwithstanding clause in bill ordering teachers back to work
If passed, the bill would override the union’s ability to mount a legal challenge against the legislative order

I am merely aiding the police in their inquiries, it is simply a way of passing the time for me, and the constables, they are gracious enough to accept my assistance, all unpaid, of course. If you, too, will humor me by joining the other guests in the parlor I would like to share some of my findings

“Someone” walked away with $70 million from AHS — and the only thing the Premier said is “wasn’t me!”
#ableg #abpoli
Judge Wyant's report on the AHS scandal reads like a 'bad spy' novel
It's comically bad, and it's really bad, and so far, no one is accountable, either.

Wow, there it is.

COUNCILLOR MIAN: “there were many of us around the table who struggled with the arena decision, right? We were like: This is a huge decision. It's a lot of money. And it was largely led by the Communities First folks.”
Calgary mayoral candidates are bickering about which arena deal was best—and who got fleeced. And an outgoing city councillor now says progressive councillors voted yes to the deal in 2023 "at great political cost." Here's how the deal got done. (Listen and/or read!) #yyccc

I restarted my donation to @sprawlcalgary.bsky.social because if I’m going prioritize my donations I’m going to do it in support of democracy and I’m going to do it here in my community.

Everyone makes their own choice. This is mine.

I support slow journalism and hope you will too.

Four wards in Calgary haven't had election debates (Wards 2, 3, 12 and 13). The Sprawl has waited for others to organize debates in these wards. It hasn't happened. We're done waiting and are making a last-ditch effort to organize and livestream debates in these wards before Election Day. #yyccc

Danielle Smith’s threats play well with the half of her party that wants to leave Canada behind but the only Albertan they’ll help is her.

My place in #Canada isn’t for Danielle Smith to use as leverage.
