UCP plan seems obvious at this point. Defund cities to increase misery, blame it on the councils, restrict their ability to take recourse, tell voters that parties will fix everything, and if that fails, give yourself the power to remove councillors and revoke bylaws. #yeg #ableg

The cruelty is the point.
5/5 If we allow legislators & school boards to make teachers "accountable" for producing higher test scores, you can bet students will receive an education completely out of step with the best thinking about how kids learn. The scores may rise even as the learning stagnates.
Hockey culture is a former player/prominent media personality making a rape joke and not only is it still up, but all the women calling him out are getting attacked for it.
It's a good watch if you haven't seen it or want to watch it again 😄

Local issues are not partisan issues. I am opposed to establishing political parties at the municipal level. There are many pressing issues that require a collaborative approach to municipal governance, and local elected officials need to be able to work across partisan lines.…
No personal income tax cut, nothing to make life more affordable, no actual improvements to the health care system. Instead UCP is focused only on things no one wants, no one asked for, or that they said they wouldn’t do. And harming people. And lying about all of it.
This is not a game changer. It just increases time and expense for municipalities. But it is the motivation that concerns me. It combines tabulators with all the US conspiracies around dominion voting machines. That is what drove this change.
This creates an unhealthy amount and intensity of anger in me.

Didn’t Smith say something about levels of government staying in their lane, or does that only apply to those everyone but her?

Alberta government can do what now? And that? Also that? Huh. cbc.ca/news/canada/ed…
I know that saying “I’m disappointed” are not strong enough words to describe what the Government of Alberta did to democracy today. Local autonomy is about to be shoved out the door. They want local governments to be an extension of the Premier’s rule. Ugly. Ugly. Ugly.
This is an assault on local democracy. Albertans have been offering reasonable solutions and instead of incorporating any of those ideas, which would actually improve transparency, we have legislation that is going out of its way to exert total dominance over municipalities.

Today Republicans passed a bill to arm teachers after silencing debate. Despite Rep. Chris Todd physically assaulting me on the House floor, my Republican colleagues voted to ban me from speaking for the next two days for “recording” on the floor. A dark day for our democracy.

In 2024-2025, Ontario will have 4,990 fewer classroom educators than it would have had if the funding formula hadn’t changed since 2018-19. Public education isn't being funded properly and students and staff are paying the price. #onted #cdned #edchat monitormag.ca/articles/ontar…
You work hard for your pension. It’s yours. Not the UCP’s. Teachers deserve better. All Albertans deserve better. Say it with me: HANDS OFF OUR CPP! (And don’t forget to grab a lawn sign at albertasfuture.ca/hands-off-our-… 🪧) #ableg #abed

@rebeccakschulz I just checked in with the YEG Foodbank and they provide boxes they get free or request recipients bring their own bags Is inept mgmt in Calgary really Trudeau’s fault? Instead of adopting a UCP-like disregard for public $ they could implement simple $ saving process changes.
@LondonDrugs London Drugs is one of the good ethical companies. I hope this is nothing serious and is resolved soon.

Once again, the UCP has introduced a bill they didn't campaign on and is massively unpopular. Here's how Albertans feel about money in politics. Spoiler: they don't want unions or corporations donating. commongroundpolitics.ca/albertans-view…
Minister, if someone tells you they’re concerned about electronic tabulators affecting election integrity your response should be to educate them, and tell them their concerns are unfounded, not to ban the electronic tabulators #abpoli #ableg
McIver couldn’t point to any recent issues with electronic tabulators, but heard from Albertans concerned with the integrity of the machines. “I trust that some people don’t trust them,” he said. “It overrides any concerns about convenience.” Idiotic. edmontonjournal.com/news/politics/…
Dear Mr. McIver; I am an Albertan and a Calgarian. I have made a life here with my family and have built a career in the Oil and Gas Industry. I am deeply concerned about the direction your government is taking us. I am writing to you to express my dismay with Bill 20.
Can you imagine if Canada gave themselves the power to fire MLAs and nix provincial legislation?
Your thoughts? Bill would give Alberta power to fire municipal councillors, nix bylaws, allow political parties #yeg #yyc #ableg globalnews.ca/news/10450717/…
And Braden nails it again. We should not be funding a competitive model. How do you know whether your 'headache' can be seen by an NP or needs a doc? You shouldn't even be expected to. They should work together as teams which have been proven to work.
Nurse practitioners can do a great job in primary care. It was 40 years ago that a high quality randomized study was published in the NEJM (our most esteemed medical journal) noting that the care provided by nurse practitioners and Family physicians was equivalent. But this…
Pretty rich that Danielle Smith accuses the feds of overreach. When her bill is the definition of authoritarian overreach undermining democracy. #cdnpoli #canpoli #abpoli #ableg #yyc #yeg #yyccc #yegcc
The bill would give the province the right to fire councillors, overturn bylaws, postpone elections and allow political parties to run on municipal ballots in Edmonton and Calgary. #yyc trib.al/LtardPX
