The most radical thing to be right now is kind.

The most powerful position to occupy is high ground.

The most powerful weapons against tyranny are laughter and resolve.

Together, we can all achieve more.

Let us build a better world for we many, not just the vainglorious few.

Let's be clear about what happened today.

Premier Smith introduced a bill to strip Albertans of Charter rights,

denied MLAs the opportunity to debate it and the courts the ability to scrutinize it,

and did all of this from her seat on a jet to Saudi Arabia.
The UCP government has invoked time allocation and on a bill removing Albertans' Charter rights.

And they're using the notwithstanding clause to do it.

Here's why that is a dangerous precedent. And why real conservatives need to stand up against it.

Today’s AbLawg looks at Alberta’s recent coal lawsuit settlements and points out the already quarter-billion-and-counting settlements greatly exceed the cost claims.

ABans deserve more transparency on this costly own goal.

Best explanation I've read.

In a nutshell, why broad swaths of rural Canadians vote Conservative, and have for generations. Yeah, we're looking at you, Alberta.
It's the same here in Canada. All farming countries are deeply conservative; meanwhile it's the conservatives that hurt farmers interests over and over and over again.

It’s hush money, paying for stupid, aggravated by ideology.

But enough about Cabinet.

They’re going to be unemployable.
#abpoli #cdnpoli Wondering if the $95mill Alberta taxpayers just "gifted" this coal company was because the company legitimately lost this amount or if this is hush $s to protect yet more UCP f**k ups.
New coal settlement alert! This time, 95M. The only reason we know this because the company posted the amount & not govt.

This taxpayer money should be funding education & healthcare but instead, Albertans continue to pay for the UCP flip flopping on coal policy #ableg

I haven’t seen anyone talk about how Jane Doe - an Epstein survivor - just sued the Bank of New York Mellon for funding Epstein and failing to file a Suspicious Activity Report. A Mellon heir is the one who gave $130M to pay the troops. Seems bribey to me.

If you are comfortable staying away from politics at this dire moment, you are the problem.

Don’t count on others to prevail without your help.

They may not.
Anytime you ask “why did the Times cover it this way?” or whatever corporate media it is, remember that influential moderates are the tool of the wealth class and are there to normalize whatever the wealthy want and create doubt regarding reform and change.
