Be seen. Be peaceful. Be loud. Gather in solidarity with our country, demand our freedoms be protected for ourselves and generations to come.

Listening to #BondiHearing sounding like a demented screech owl. Clearly the US no longer functions as a democracy.
Canadians, & particularly Albertans, avoid MAGA dysfunction! Adhere to our values & rule of law! Inoculate Canada & AB against #MAGA infection. Stay sane. #UCP #UCP-MAGA #cndpoli

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.

A key part of that mission is converting federal lands into housing more quickly.
