Wow, this one is next level. Not even reporting facts, only reporting on what “watchdog says” to further avoid any journalistic responsibility for anyone possibly thinking police might be at fault.
An (embarrassing) mastery of the passive voice, here.

You wouldn't push teachers and students to drink spoiled milk while saying you're fighting for "legal safeguards" against milk spoilage.

So please stop pushing these deeply harmful "A.i." products on teachers and students.

Who said: “A politician who crosses the aisle has shown tremendous courage in putting their principles first”? Nope. Not Carney. That was Andrew Scheer in 2018 when Liberal MP Leona Alleslev crossed the floor and joined his Conservatives. #cdnpoli

“Provincial data shows 16.2% of Albertans have had a flu shot, and 6.1% have had a COVID-19 shot so far this season.”

Pitiful.

Alberta hospitals are being slammed with flu patients at a time when they’re already under strain, and doctors are bracing for more as the worst of the respiratory virus season has yet to hit

All this comes at a time when hospitals are already under strain👇

I tallied the number of court cases or legal challenges Alberta’s government has recently stepped in to block or pre-empt. Was surprised how long the exercise took - they’re at like a one-per-week clip:

I concluded this weeks ago. They didn't hide it.

The UCP didn't have to use the notwithstanding clause. They wanted to, in order to avoid an arbitration process they knew they'd lose.

We suspended teachers’ Charter rights because we just don’t want to pay them fairly is a hell of a position for a government to take.
From the DM's...

UCP MLA says via email that the decision to use the notwithstanding clause was not just about getting students into classrooms...

The UCP were worried that arbitration would cost them "hundreds of millions, potentially billions".

I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.

The reality, of course, is that Miller and a significant portion of Trump’s base are the ones who failed to assimilate to America’s post-WWII culture of multi-racial democracy & religious pluralism…and they are now using their power to destroy that once dominant (and still popular) American culture.
Stephen Miller is now arguing that assimilation is fundamentally impossible and that certain cultures are not compatible with Western civilization
