The thing is that Fiscal Conservatism is largely just an obfuscation layer for bigotry. They get to say they don't *want* to hurt people and excuse harm being done by saying they can't afford to help. The problem is they won't change even when helping costs less, because the harm is the point.

As I said before, I get that we’re all busy and tired, we have too much on our plates. Everything costs too much, we don’t have enough time for work, play, chores, rest, and healing. I’m exhausted too. But we can’t let that get in the way of building power in our communities. [6/N]

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.

51,000 teachers are far more powerful than Danielle Smith and the UCP understand especially given that they have the support of the majority of Albertans. Solidarity is a powerful weapon we can use to put Danielle Smith and the UCP's corrupt regime in their place.

The basic problem with LLM drafting is this: the skills you need to do it correctly are exactly the same skills you need to do it without the LLM.
The only way the LLM actually saves any labor is if you skip the needed fact checking and proofreading.
