In a democracy, it's actually good to hold the government to account. The government is the one in power. They're the ones who may affect who wins, who loses, who suffers, who thrives. They can lock you up. They can side with fascists or not. So, yes, pretty important to criticize them.

I’m forever going to enjoy the judge’s reminder that Treaties 6, 7, and 8 predate Alberta’s existence.
Because I think there’s few things that get up the nose of the separatists more than being reminded that Alberta is the creation of the federal government.
