Essentially what Danielle Smith is saying is we don’t have three branches of government anymore.
This is among the most democratically dangerous things Danielle Smith has said.
She wants to remove all checks and balances on her power and projects herself as the embodiment of "the people."
We have left the realm of liberal democracy in this province.

Other stuff I wont comment on thats outside my wheelhouse (impact of tankers etc). But on the whole very disappointing MOU that has a whole lot of backpedaling and climate delay. (Reminder that climate delay is the new climate denial and in 2025 leads in effect to the same outcome).

We caught the UCP red-handed.
We asked Public Safety & Emergency Services for any correspondence between Min. Ellis & the Edmonton Police Commission.
They told us - twice - there was none.
We asked the Commission & got 130 pages including 5 letters signed by Ellis. #abpoli

Using the voters list as a political weapon against a constituent feels like perfectly reasonable grounds for a recall to me.
Dale Nally's recall petitioner says he doesn't listen to constituents and cites his concerns over the notwithstanding clause.
Nally responds by saying the petitioner doesn't vote and works as a proxy for a group weaponizing the recall act and the petition has no merit.

Moments ago, Premier Danielle Smith's government made a terrifying decision and introduced legislation to suspend the charter-protected rights of transgender young people in Alberta.
Now is the time to act. Visit www.stop-smith.ca to sign our petition denouncing this draconian erosion of freedom.

The only rights that the UCP seem to care about, courtesy of their DM of Justice, Malcolm Lavoie, are the so-called "property rights" of Australian coal companies.
In other words the non-constitutionally protected corporate property rights over real constitutionally protected human rights. #abpoli
