The only person on the stage solely focused on beating the UCP - making the statements and moves required to do so, was @nenshi.
Not on having the most policies, not his legacy, not his current job - but on winning.
And that’s why he won the debate tonight too.

Alberta dictatorship is another step closer to reality. Those councillors ARE ELECTED. Bylaws are legally constituted as part of municipal govt.
Maybe Trudeau should remove premiers that are harming citizens & destroying democracy.

"The proposed change comes contrary to the government’s own engagement survey on adding parties to the local level, the results of which were obtained by Postmedia and showed upwards of 70 per cent of respondents were opposed to the idea." #abpoli#ableg
~Through a successful court victory, we've learned the UCP has hidden 1000s of pages of docs from the public hiding their true plans for coal mining.
We’ve just learned the UCP plans to fight this court decision, contrary to what the Premier herself said she’d do just last week.

It's incredibly frustrating to have a provincial government that consistently does the opposite of what the population thinks on issues and enacts legislation they either did not run on or said they wouldn't touch just last spring.
Why even have elected municipal governments?
Every day Danielle Smith moves Alberta closer to a totalitarian dictatorship by consolidating power and control.
Our province is turning into a moral theocracy as the core principles of democracy are eroded. #abpoli#ableg
Think about this…
Your provincial govt is using YOUR TAX DOLLARS to pay lawyers to fight AGAINST GIVING YOU ACCESS TO INFORMATION THAT BELONGS TO YOU….using our money to hide their CORRUPTION.
ENOUGH!

Can confirm that the provincial Cabinet can now remove elected municipal councillors or mayors for any reason they see fit at any point for any reason they label a public interest.
Previously, the process for removing a municipal official was incredibly rigid (as it should be).

McIver on the UCP giving themselves the power to fire any democratically elected municipal official for “going against the public interest”…
“Well if people believe the provincial government has gone against the public interest, there’s an election every 4 years”
Unironically.
What do you do when cities increasing turn to the NDP? Why, you highjack the electoral process.
Next up: gerrymandering electoral districts, no doubt (they are due for review).

I am getting confused, Alberta has a Ministry of Red Tape Reduction, the most Ministers of any Alberta Government and now they’re going to micro manage Edmonton and Calgary? Is this Libertarian Freedom Fascism? The freedom part appears to be the the province’s ability to meddle
Justin Trudeau has brought in legislation that gives him the power to fire premiers and provincial ministers he doesn’t think are acting “in the public interest.”
He didn’t of course. But.. do you see the problem with Bill 20 now?
"I'M A PROFESSOR!!!"
If police are willing to viciously assault and beat a middle aged white female college professor like this in front of CNN, why do you think they murder so many unarmed Black folks?
“You will do what we want, when we want, and how we want, regardless of whether you elect our municipal party candidates.”
The dictatorship of Alberta, apparently. cbc.ca/news/canada/ed…
When asked what data supports banning electronic tabulators, McIver admits there’s no data and then turns himself into a pretzel to avoid the actual truth.
Parker said so.

And of course, there's video of Danielle Smith advocating for the opposite of what she is now doing to municipalities.
