The University of Alberta and the University of Calgary Graduate Students' Associations have released a joint letter to the Premier of Alberta slamming Bill 18 and the claims that federal funding is favourably given to "liberal" disciplines. Ping Lam Ip and I are cited.
Local government leaders are not the puppets of Premier Smith. We are duly elected officials who represent the interests and priorities of our residents. We are not elected to carry out the priorities and wishes of a UCP government. Enough is enough.

I covered a lot of council mtgs and I still remember this one. The low income transit pass means people living in extreme poverty can take the bus for $5 a month. They can get to appointments, classes & the grocery store. It's a lifeline. #yyccc calgaryherald.com/news/traffic/c…
“if Albertans want to push back against the UCP’s creeping authoritarianism, they’ll need to get off the couch. Make a commitment and a plan to stand up. Democracy demands that of us, from time to time.” This. Time to get loud. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli
UCP MLAs have a habit of patting themselves on the back with one hand while yanking away crucial supports with the other. The UCP cutting public transit funding for low-income folks a month after citing it as a way they’re helping them is, unfortunately, unsurprising. #ableg

I encourage everyone to share this widely. As Dr. Wesley says, this isn't politics as usual. "...these new measures are unprecedented. Alberta’s drift toward authoritarianism hasn't happened overnight, but we cannot allow ourselves to become desensitized." #ableg

Dr. Wesley lays it out - the UCP is a threat to democracy. "At a bare minimum, we should expect our leaders to respect the rule of law, constitutional checks & balances, electoral integrity, & the distribution of power. ...the UCP's shown disregard for these principles." #ableg

This makes me emotional. During the election, then Minister Jeremy Nixon spoke about the value of ADDING $$ to this program. Now his brother, Jason Nixon is pulling ALL the funding to its two major cities? Why are AISH & LITP always the bargaining chip? #yyccc #ableg

This is just cruel from the UCP. The party of punching down. Pushed hard for public funds for an arena for billionaires but now they are taking away the ability for thousands of Calgarians to get to work, to take their kids to school, and to travel around the city.
Thanks to @nenshi for introducing the Low Income Transit Pass & @RachelNotley for stepping up w/ more funding to help more people participate in public life. It was a big step toward alleviating poverty. Cutting this essential program shows that w/ the UCP, cruelty is the point.

If you’re building prosperity, Minister, why is your government cutting funding for the low-income transit program you were bragging about just one month ago? #ableg

If you can't afford to pay for transit, you shouldn't have to pay for transit. Transit punches way above its weight in terms of economic and social return on investment, and providing all people with mobility is fundamental. This is both short-sighted *and* cruel.

Still no reply today from the Government of Alberta on its decision. The request for comment went in 5 hours ago.
Lorne Dach, Alberta NDP Transportation Critic, issued the following statement in response to the UCP pulling funding from transit subsidy programs: “The UCP’s decision to defund the City of Calgary and the City of Edmonton’s transit subsidy programs is extremely cruel. We are in…
