The laws of armed conflict forbid combatants from feigning civilian status.

That is a war crime called "perfidy."

“The Pollara Strategic Insights survey found that 19 per cent of the 1,000 Albertans surveyed say they would vote for separation, and 75 per cent would vote against it.”

Which means it’s about making sure that people vote.

In the course of less than 24 hours, Danielle Smith's right hand man is apparently attempting to delegitimize both the courts AND journalists.

Is there a name for that?

When is True North not Juno news?

No one knows!

But today, True North suggested that the Feds should pay for education because immigrants & Nicolaides only pushback was because he wouldn’t want to give the Feds more control.

An important note…

Smith isn’t just overriding the federal Charter…

She’s also overriding the Alberta Human Rights Act AND the Alberta Bill of Rights she just rewrote.

Remember that "Alberta Next" panel?

You know, the one that was to decide to put forward a referendum?

If you had any doubts that it was performative, looks like we're going ahead with the Alberta Police Force, referendum free!
