I felt Keira Gunn was a fine candidate, and is better than Corey Hogan. Progressives need to learn that voting Liberal isn't progressive voting.
NDP should support workers over corporations to secure more votes.... all IMO.

Premier Smith should heed Danielle Smith's advice.

"By attacking the legal rights of unions in this way, the Premier is only deepening the rift between the government and its workers, and it’s driving that crucial relationship right off the rails..."

Keeping up with the UCP government's democratic transgressions can be difficult.

But not impossible.

Here’s a running list since Danielle Smith became premier. 🧵👇

They're about to get a mountain of data because this motion was revised to go back 25 years. That's a ton of applications.

They're not going to read it all, of course. They'll have some staff members search the document for "woke" words so they can find some witches to burn.

Years ago when I worked in the policy consulting sphere, I received notice that a FOIP request included my consulting resume. FOIP accepted my dispute of the disclosure on the basis that it would violate my personal privacy.

This time, MPs can circumvent privacy law via committee, apparently.

How much are MPs entitled to know about research grants? Not as much as they think. A parliamentary committee is asking for researchers' personal information in what seems like an anti-DEI crusade, by @picardonhealth.bsky.social www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti... via @theglobeandmail.com

This is extremely troubling. The UCP are becoming increasingly authoritarian. They are dumping Doug Wylie, likely because he intervened, in the public interest, in the AHS CEO lawsuit. edmontonjournal.com/news/politic...

Could Canada be headed for a Christmas election?? It's not impossible...

The budget vote is a “confidence vote,” and if it fails, the government is expected to resign.

That usually means an election.

But what are the odds of that happening?
