Why Danielle Smithโ€™s Populist Referendums Are Dangerous to Democracy | The Tyee Our political system relies on pluralism, compromise and debate. All are endangered in Alberta.

From @jaredwesley.ca
"Smithโ€™s use of referendums is motivated not by an altruistic commitment to direct democracy. Rather, it is strategic and highly politicized โ€” designed to hold her partyโ€™s divergent factions together by dividing them from the rest of the province."

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 canโ€™t make a secession question constitutional per the Courtโ€™s decision and if you tried, youโ€™d probably violate the Clarity Act, which means it wouldnโ€™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
