Corb Lunds petition for the government to outright ban coal mining in the eastern slopes has been approved!

Now the CFO is selected and then signature collection can begin!

BREAKING!!!

The day after the UCP attempted to stop the courts from issuing a ruling...

The courts have ruled.

And they not only rule the question is unconstitutional, but that separation requires the consent of First Nations period!

WOW!!!

Not only have the courts ruled that the separatists referendum is unconstitutional and that separatism would require the consent of First Nations...

A SCATHING epilogue directly called out Alberta trying to legislate away the courts ability to issue a decision!

The organizer of the Dale Nally recall is shooting back!

Not only does he call out Nally’s false claims, but he also points out that yet again…

Danielle Smith lied in the legislature.

Throw the bums out.
Danielle Smith's MAGA machine is being rocked by the grassroots in Alberta who are done with their gaslighting and MAGA extremism.
The UCP brought in the recall petitions and now they are panicking that it is being used against them.
Keep it up Alberta resisters.

How stupid are these people? Using the NWC essentially takes parental responsibilities out of the equation & places the health & safety of these children directly in the hands of the Gov't anyone thinking Smith will stop there is either dense or deep in denial.

Today, Alberta introduced Bill 9 and invoked the notwithstanding clause to shield three anti-trans laws from constitutional challenge. These laws deny gender-affirming care to youth, erase 2SLGBTQI identities from schools, and ban trans girls and women from sports.

“This first use of the Charter’s notwithstanding clause in an act of the Alberta legislature is a stain upon your record & undercuts the credibility of the many calls you have made for all levels of government to respect the rights of citizens.”

ATA to Smith today.

The line has been drawn.

If Premier Smith invokes the notwithstanding clause, expect an unprecedented provincial labour strike that will shut down the entire province.

Democratic rights must be protected at all costs.

Unbelievable. Chills.

Tens of thousands of teachers converging downtown just outside where Danielle Smith is addressing an audience.

I’ve never seen anything like this.

Time to listen up, Premier.

Time for a fair deal.

We stand with teachers.

Hypothetically, if I watched last night's SNL and liked that they mocked Trump and Hegseth will ICE abduct me from Canada, force me to go to the USA, and then deport me from there to El Salvador?

Just hypothetically, of course.

When a high school kid tried to raise concerns about the teachers strike, Bruce McAllister cut the kids mic and then suggested his parents should have beaten him more.

Listen to the clip yourself…
