By the book: Alberta schools pull at least 160 titles from shelves to meet provincial order | CBC News Alberta school divisions complying with a provincial order have removed dozens of graphic novels from their shelves, from illustrated versions of literary classics to coming-of-age memoirs and dramati...

What books did Alberta schools *actually* pull off the shelves in response to a provincial order? It took a lot of work to find out. We still don't have a complete picture. And some schools are still pulling material.

Free speech advocates say it's ban unmatched in Canadian history. #AbLeg By me.

You can’t make a secession question constitutional per the Court’s decision and if you tried, you’d probably violate the Clarity Act, which means it wouldn’t be clear and then there would be no obligation on Canada to negotiate.

So again, what is this really for?

The UCP is dismantling our social safety net, forcing seniors to rely on the "Charity Pool" instead of legal entitlements. Cutting these benefits leads to skipped meds and ER visits, worsening the healthcare crisis. We need public support, not "benevolence". #ABleg #abpoli #cdnpoli

Thousands of Alberta seniors to lose income supplement as province faces rising provincial deficit | CBC News Alberta is making cuts to seniors' benefits and tax credits for caregivers as it faces a $9.4-billion budget deficit.

We have a $9.4B deficit but we aren't going to make any cuts. Until they do. The most vulnerable always lose in the end. Always.

Has anyone explained to the Alberta separatists that they would effectively be inviting near-permanent Liberal majorities in the country that surrounds them?

The CPC without its 30-plus seats in Alberta is barely a competitive national party.
