🅳🅰🆈 7 - A Slough of Memories...
On the Canadian prairies a pond is called a 'slough'. The word comes from Old English "slōh", meaning soft, muddy ground. They are prettier than the word sounds...

If you ever feel yourself looking south of the border to the U.S. and thinking “why aren’t Americans in the streets over the destruction of their democratic institutions,” you can look no further than your own backyard in Alberta for the answer.

We are there. What will YOU do to show your dissent?
This is among the most democratically dangerous things Danielle Smith has said.

She wants to remove all checks and balances on her power and projects herself as the embodiment of "the people."

We have left the realm of liberal democracy in this province.
Smith doubled down on her anti court rhetoric today...

She even seemed to suggest that federally appointed judges couldn't render impartial rulings and that she believed her interpretation should always be above theirs.

This is literally NONSENSE. Absolutely nonsensical!

Reminder: the Premier has NO medical expertise whatsoever, and seems to be getting horrendous advice (if she isn’t intentionally trying to mislead here)

Let’s delve into a couple of points:

I've been checking out the UCP's Bill 14 addendum and... well, it's bigger than just party names. They've apparently extended the restricted word list to emojis!
My personal favourite banned item is "Implies democracy." 🗳️🤡

Winter ED volumes are starting to hit... get ready for some long waits AB.
Wednesday night there was over 80 pts stranded in the RAH waiting room...
Think about that: 80 sick pts stuck in the endless waiting game

Hey, fellow workers.

Some of you may already know this, but my spouse is a PhD student. She does that while also working. What you may not know is that her work for the last 4 years has been short-term contract after short-term contract, sometimes multiple contracts all at once.

BREAKING!!!

The day after the UCP attempted to stop the courts from issuing a ruling...

The courts have ruled.

And they not only rule the question is unconstitutional, but that separation requires the consent of First Nations period!

Half a million in sole sourced contracts to a company with multiple former government staffers?

Is that what they mean by brand consistency?

As a recall lead, I am concerned for my safety with this move.

The Minister of Justice will be deciding the recall rules? The Recall Nicolaides team received a complaint which was an error in the terms and conditions of our PayPal system, it was immediately corrected. What would Emery do?

An investigation could shut a recall down. 🙋‍♀️ Does he also decide what is judged in the courts now? How will the public know the truth of the matter?
Is it time for a general strike instead? How far are we willing to let the rule of law go?

Winter's fingerprints are everywhere now, even on the tree tops. The sun burns coldly but the light only gets weaker all month. We get 7 hours and 45 minutes of light today.

Bill 14 is immensely complex. The amendments to the Citizen Initiative Act & its financial rules are esp complex. This is a deliberate strategy.
In other areas of the law we call this libel or regulatory chill.
This is a government that only pretends to believe in direct democracy. #ableg #abpoli
