I am frustrated and enraged at the UCP and Danielle Smith, for using the most powerful constitutional hammer we have to vaporize human rights for children and their parents. I am disgusted by these Conservative MLAs. Every single one of them has taken leave of their senses and their humanity.

Today, Alberta introduced Bill 9 and invoked the notwithstanding clause to shield three anti-trans laws from constitutional challenge. These laws deny gender-affirming care to youth, erase 2SLGBTQI identities from schools, and ban trans girls and women from sports.

I knew that this day was coming. The UCP had been warning for months that they were going to take away the rights of transgender people (not just children but adults too). I thought I was prepared. But I am still very angry that it has happened.

“In fact, it appears Tanya Fir, my Alberta MLA for Calgary-Peigan and minister of Arts, Culture and Status of Women, was in a state of shellshock from abusive calls she had been fielding when she uttered my name as the next “motherf___r” she would be calling back.”

Wherein Tanya Fir refers to the next caller on her “callback list” as the “next motherfucker"... Not knowing that next person was a journalist. After she failed to hang up the phone properly. Just the most competent government ever. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

When the UCP uses the notwithstanding clause tomorrow, watch defenders say, "it's totally legal" or "we had no choice." They're deflecting. The UCP wants to exact as much harm on transgender folks as possible. And they know their actions are not justifiable in a democratic society. Who's next?

It’s going well here in Alberta, government totally looking out for the regular folk, no problems, thanks for asking

Vaccine preventable diseases are back such as Measles. This is a critical moment for Alberta's public health leadership. I have written to Minister LaGrange outlining the necessary public health steps needed. Read my full letter to the Minister.

Megyn Kelly has always been a grifting disingenuous bigot but minimizing Epstein’s crimes after villainizing Trans and Queer people is WILD.

Alberta declares a tuberculosis outbreak in Edmonton. This combined with such an increase of homelessness is terrible. This comes just days after Canada lost its measles elimination status—with Alberta having highest case concentrations. PUBLIC HEALTH LEADERSHIP NOW! www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Feels so right on Remembrance Day to get vaccinated, after reading so many Wilfred Owen poems and letters. They died for my freedoms. It's the least I can do.

"I shall feel again as soon as I dare, but now I must not." - Wilfred Owen to remember is to work for peace.

Lest we forget.

I spoke with the Edmonton Journal about Canada losing its measles elimination status — the only G7 country to do so. 40% of outbreaks are in Alberta, where the UCP blocked its top doctor from urging vaccines. Politics should never come before public health.

Premier Smith's Chief of Staff, Rob Anderson, would be OUTRAGED teachers were stripped of their freedom of expression... if he wasn't a huge hypocrite. "How dare we think we can do that? What kind of society do we think we live in?" #ableg #abpoli

love that Supercop #3 expects us to believe he had reason to believe a sitting MLA was engaged in flagrant corruption, conducted an illegal search — and then got distracted so never completed his investigation. Adorable.

Everyone saw that sunset, right?

Damn, I hate it when things that happen mean nothing :-(

Danielle Smith once claimed her "mission in public life" was to defend the fundamental rights and freedoms, and that they "cannot be taken away from us by government". But now she's the one who has taken away fundamental rights and freedoms from Albertans. #ableg #abpoli

you cannot make it up: the UCP got the name of their own hateful anti-trans bill wrong (the one that won't let trans kids state their preferred pronouns) -- which delayed the bill. incompetence, thy name is UCP (get it! name!) edmontonjournal.com/news/politic...

The UCP govt has created a fifth health agency to provide IT, HR, data services etc to the other four, with a fifth CEO, Maureen Towle.

Nearly half a million Albertans have said it loud and clear: we’re proud Canadians. It’s time for the UCP to admit they were wrong and join us in denouncing separatism once and for all. youtube.com/shorts/t9wvD...

Order in council dropped late this afternoon that rescinds the previous gift policy for UCP premier's and ministers' staff. But does this mean the premier and ministers can still accept Skybox tickets and other expensive freebies?

"To call it undemocratic is far too tame." Don Braid pulls no punches on the cowardly tearing up of people's constitutionally-protected rights and freedoms by Danielle Smith and the UCP. calgaryherald.com/news/braid-a...

Danielle Smith is a coward. She refused to negotiate in good faith with teachers, refused to end this strike by offering a fair deal, and, worst of all, she violated Albertans’ Charter rights without even showing up for debate.

The Premier has lost the confidence of her caucus, and she's lost the confidence of every single Albertan. This is far from over. For Danielle Smith and the UCP, it's the beginning of the end. youtube.com/shorts/gLVzs...

Remember when Danielle Smith condemned the "arrogance" of a government for passing laws in a matter of days? Now she's rammed through a law stripping teachers' charter rights in a single day. Seems the "democratic process" no longer matters to her now that she's in power. #ableg #abpoli
