To defend Canada, our grandparents went to war, bled, & died.
To defend Human Rights, our parents marched, were beaten, & arrested.
All we are asked to do is SHOW UP.
#yxh is holding an event too!
Share widely. Stand up peacefully.

That’ll be an interesting read. Can’t manufacture consent in the open-answer replies!
Last week, I learned an adjudicator had sided with me in 5 inquiries re: the province refusing to release results of its Alberta Next surveys
GOA published the multiple choice results in Dec but has been ordered to give me 213 pages of open-answer replies that haven't yet been shared

Province broke its own access to information laws in withholding Alberta Next survey results
The Alberta government wrongly withheld hundreds of pages of results from its Alberta Next surveys an adjudicator has ruled.
