A bilingual forum is important, but it's a shame the #ndp missed an opportunity to ask about Indigenous reconciliation in the language of the only Indigenous candidate's most fluent language. #ndp @buildingleft.bsky.social

Ask your Alberta friends and family to call their MLA. Invoking the notwithstanding clause for actions that don’t require it, simply to skirt around accountability and oversight, sets a dangerous precedent for the whole country.
