Sorry folks, but Kendzior contributes nothing useful to the discourse. Her getting suspended for a Johnny Cash joke is BS. However, you should also unfollow her and your life will be improved.

The fact that Kendzior is winking at the idea that there's a conspiracy against her is exactly why I stopped following her years ago. Also, calling this a violation of her free speech... loser behaviour, but also inexcusable given the past year being a PhD-level lesson in actual 1A violations.

Where's the premier while MLAs rush through an all-night debate on stripping Albertans of their Charter rights? An airport lounge, waiting for a flight to Saudi Arabia. She didn't even bother to show up for the vote. I remember when conservatives turfed premiers for this level of hubris.

Your right to speak, to worship, to live free — all protected by the Charter. But the Notwithstanding Clause is now being used in Alberta to make illegal laws “legal.” This is a test of how far the government can go before Albertans push back. Say no to overriding the Charter:
