Eroding Rights in Alberta: Via Substack - #TakingAlbertaForward open.substack.com/pub/takingal... 2026 should be an election year. The question on the ballot may no longer be left-versus-right, but whether we still believe rights should be protected — or merely permitted. #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli

NWS is a red flag that they are ignoring the law/constitution. She is as lawless as trump. Is Alberta as lawless as the US? #abpoli #cdnpoli www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

This headline demonstrates why I have a problem with #cdnmedia "Alberta's Smith says notwithstanding clause increasingly likely amid unpopular court rulings" Unpopular with whom? The bigots Smith's use of the Notwithstanding clause is a boot on our necks #ableg edmontonjournal.com/news/local-n...

Years of #UCP neglect have gutted Alberta's public healthcare & education. Instead of owning it, they're blaming Ottawa & immigrants to rile up the Maple-MAGA base. Same far-right playbook: stoke fear, avoid facts, promise to 'save' you. Enough is enough. #FireTheUCP #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli

What Smith embodies is something political theorists increasingly describe as libertarian authoritarianism, a paradoxical but now well-documented phenomenon in which the language of freedom is used to justify the concentration of power, the erosion of democratic norms, and the dismantling ...

And then we act like it’s a mystery why we have so many gun deaths 🇺🇸

Well.. Guess I shouldn't have jinxed myself yesterday... 37+ CLOSURES & DIVERSIONS.. OBGYN, ER, Surgical/OR's and some with no specialists! Wonder how Dani is enjoying panama/mar-a-lago while AB's suffer. @frazzleheadlc.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/frazzleh... #abhealth #UCPCorruption

And who can tell the most absurd, fawning lies is apparently some sort of running gag among Trump’s cabinet. Listen to the laughs in this recent example: bsky.app/profile/atru...

SERIOUSLY, WATCH THIS: If you really want to understand how huge SUVs and pick-up trucks have ended up being MOST of the vehicles out there in our cities, and the absolutely INSANE consequences of that, watch this easy-to-watch video by #NotJustBikes. Then please share it as much as you can.

Post 1/8 In #Canada today, we're seeing the classic playbook of extreme right-wing populist conservative governments unfold. They thrive on fear, division, and simple slogans instead of real solutions or accountability. This meme captures it perfectly: #cdnpoli #abpoli #ableg

As John Diefenbaker reminded us: “I am a Canadian, free to speak without fear… free to oppose what I believe wrong, or free to choose those who shall govern my country. This heritage of freedom I pledge to uphold…” Enough is enough. #cdnpoli #abpoli #ableg #FireTheUCP #RecallThemAll

Post 7/8 Let’s hold governments accountable for their actions, not just slick words and empty slogans. In Alberta, trust in the UCP is shattered. People feel betrayed—no rebranding or spin will restore it. Real change starts when we demand better and reject fear & division.

I grew up in Iran. There, we fixed everything until they truely fell apart beyond repair: shoes, bags, heaters, vaccum, … Fast forward to life in Canada. Our radiant heater broke and now has to go in garbage. Yay for Capitalism and nay for our poor planet. www.cbc.ca/radio/whaton...

Post 4/6 Eligible voters in Brooks-Medicine Hat riding: Under the Recall Act, you can hold our MLA/Premier accountable and potentially trigger a by-election. This is democracy in action! 🖊️

Post 3/6 • Talks of pulling out of the Canada Pension Plan • Adjustments to AISH benefits • Repeated use of the Notwithstanding Clause • Legislation seen as undemocratic #ableg #abpoli #RecallSmith

Post 1/6 🧑‍🎄 Medicine Hat! Sign the #RecallDanielleSmith petition TODAY near the CPKC Holiday Train! 📅 TODAY: Sunday, December 21 🕛 2:30 PM – 4:00 PM 📍 Corner of Queen St & North Railway St SE Many feel the ❌ UCP has gone beyond their 2023 mandate with policies voters never signed up for.

The only way to stop the UCP from stealing our CPP & getting rid of the RCMP is to sign the recall petitions in our ridings Take away the UCP majority in the #ableg & we take away their power

Dear Canadians, Sign this federal petition to stop the UCP anti-trans laws - before kids die. It already has more than 10000 signatures. #canada

Different priorities. Different values. Alberta’s New Democrats remain focused on affordability, health care, and public education — the things that matter most to YOU. youtu.be/GKUziE1mwB8

On Saturday, December 20, canvassers will be collecting signatures for #RecallMickey in Calgary-Cross, the Recall Peter Singh campaign for the Calgary-East riding, and Alberta Funds Public Schools petition in one convenient location. #yyc #abpoli #ableg #OperationTotalRecall abfundspublicschools.ca

Forgot the hashtags for this. 🫣 Calgary-Cross, request a canvasser come straight to your door! Invite your neighbors and make it a signing party, if you want! #yyc #RecallMickey #ableg #abpoli

Dear Canada, if this goes through, may be it is time to ban all travel to and from the US. I don’t want their future outbreaks spread up here!

Assange said awarding Venezuela opposition leader is a 'gross misappropriation' of funds, risks facilitating war crimes.

Just making things up as they go along. If this were continuous improvement, we'd say they were building an airplane while flying it. This populist policymaking is more like like removiny the bolts mid-flight and replacing them with duct tape, ideology, and wishful thinking.

Hard to for me to believe in free trade with the US if there are no cultural protections and we can't tax foreign digital services let alone regulate them. We're not a separate country if our film and TV is Netflix, our stores are Amazon and our media is Meta. www.theglobeandmail.com/world/us-pol...

ICE is tracking pregnant women all the way to the delivery room: ‘She was so afraid they would take her baby’. This is outrageous. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Although Trump’s immigration policies are intended to be perceived as crueler than those of his predecessors (and some of them are), they are merely the latest instantiation of a centuries-long American tradition: laws meant to exclude people of color and privilege whiteness.

Another good reason for Mark Carney to open up the market to affordable European and Chinese electric vehicles. The United States is going backward and Canada does not have to follow its lead.

The Alberta gov’t is using the notwithstanding clause to attack trans youth & the PM has the ability to stop it. He has constitutional tools. If he refuses to use them, he is choosing political convenience over the safety & rights of trans kids. I’ve written Mark Carney calling on him to act now.
