Each petitioner paid $500, right? They shouldn’t be able to change a service that’s already been purchased…
During the Gondek recall, Premier Smith was adamant that no changes would be forthcoming to recall during an active recall petition.
By the UCP's own measures, they can't amend recall rules until there are no active petitions.

Interesting wrinkle. Can AB set legislation using the notwithstanding clause that overrides federal treaties?
An AFN council says the new Alberta laws affecting young trans individuals directly threaten the safety of Indigenous youth in the province.

I urge the UCP caucus to recognize that progressives in AB have been THRILLED with the success of the Forever Canadian petition and are now mobilized to use their own shortsighted and poorly written legislation against them. Parker and Smith have been daring us to organize.

Alberta, and Canada, need to prepare for a world in which low-carbon technology wins, if only because it's already winning in so many different markets and use cases.
Pretending we can arrest or reverse that is the height of hubris — and it will cost us more dearly than most other countries.

A friend who teaches theology shared with me a post about CS Lewis's Mere Christianity, which discusses foundational Christian logic across denominations. It reminded me of Dale's tweet below, and I wanted to share some thoughts here regarding modesty and respectability, which are often hot topics.
