6/8 #Bill18 demands a veto over federal funding for municipalities.

It holds low-income housing and transit hostage to a political feud with Ottawa.

👉 In cities where homelessness is a crisis, this gatekeeping is a death sentence for urgent initiatives. 👈

Paternalism disguised as policy.

3/10 The legislation highlights the "contempt" the #UCP has shown #municipalities, saying they were passed "without any consultation."

#Bill18 blocks municipalities from negotiating directly with the #federal #government.

"If that were the case when I was mayor, we would have had no #GreenLine."

🇨🇦 #NENSHI PLEDGES TO #REPEAL UCP'S #MUNICIPAL #BILLS 🇨🇦

#Alberta #NDP Leader Naheed Nenshi spoke at the Alberta Municipalities (AB Munis) convention.

An NDP government would repeal Bills 18 (federal funding block) & 20 (voting machines), as well as the #RecallAct.

America is up to its old tricks of destabilize & install a puppet regime in Nepal.

So Charlie
If a story is Anti-American like this, is #MiedasCanada independent enough to control its own stories presented? Who has 100% transparent editorial ctrl?

And tell the Biden Boys they better follow all the Canadian rules of disclosure and Media company ownership laid out by the #CRTC and #Bill18 if they want to open up shop here in #Canada. If you think I'm irritating with facts now, try and step foot into Canada.
I of course have been polite so far.

Data speaks volumes! A sharp investigatory piece by @andiyeg.bsky.social & @pinglamjoeip.bsky.social that cuts through the noise with real evidence.

Alberta government passes contentious suite of bills as spring legislature session wraps up | CBC News A legislative sitting that analysts say was defined by a provincial government determined to expand its powers ended Wednesday afternoon with limited debate times on some of the most controversial bills.

So which academic studying "unpalatable topics" (gender issues, climate change, racism, etc) will be the first to have their NSERC, SSHRC, or CIHR grant disallowed by the Alberta government? #ABed #ABpse #ABpoli #Bill18 www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
