“Brandt, the LSA spokesperson, did not respond to questions about whether the LSA will continue requiring licensees to take the Indigenous cultural competency training course or why the regulator believes that its EDI committee would not align with the RPNA.”

“We are not living in an era of kings who can overrule courts. The very concept of the rule of law is that even those who make the laws are subject to them.”

Today, the UCP tabled a budget with a $9.4-billion deficit and a projected debt of $137 billion, despite benefiting from near-historic resource revenues. The UCP government has spent so much money to deliver so little for Albertans.

Danielle Smith believes she’s giving us a masterclass in distraction, but this reeks of desperation and Albertans will see right through it.

"Albertans deserve so much better. Alberta’s New Democrats continue to call for a public inquiry into CorruptCare so we can finally get some real answers and accountability for this ongoing waste of taxpayer dollars in healthcare."

Alberta’s taxpayer and kids didn’t benefit from this drug import scheme. That’s why we need a full, independent public inquiry into this.

“Once political leaders begin to frame courts as adversaries rather than co-equal, and independent, pillars of governance, public confidence in the justice system erodes.”

The UCP can’t claim to be a party of law and order when they are the ones defunding police, downloading policing costs onto municipalities, threatening to withhold funding from the justice system, and undermining the rule of law and the Constitution at every opportunity.

“Democracy and justice in Alberta are being threatened. Alberta is being abused by its own government much the same way the United States of America is being abused by its current president.”

What are some of the “distinct legal traditions of Alberta” that Danielle Smith wants reflected in judicial appointments? How would Danielle Smith having more say in judicial appointments “ensure that judicial decision-making reflects the values and expectations of Albertans”?
#ableg
Danielle Smith wants to be able to “direct” judges. She’s critical of them for being “activist” and “unelected”. Now she’s threatening to withhold judicial funds as a bargaining chip. She was caught interfering in the justice system but she refuses to learn from it.

“Simply put, we cannot have an independent judiciary if the premier — any premier regardless of political affiliation — has the power to “direct” judges.”
The Premier must retract her comments and apologize.

Instead of focusing on cost of living crisis, jobs, hospital wait times, education, public safety and issues that matter to Albertans — the UCP is busy stoking separatism.
We denounce separatism unequivocally and stand firmly with team Canada.
Will the Premier and the UCP MLAs do the same?
#ableg
It’s an unprecedented statement.
It should concern every Albertan who believes in the rule of law, judicial independence and democracy.
The UCP needs to stop its provocative statements and attacks on judiciary and the rule of law in this province.

Signing this PLEDGE was one of the easiest things I have done as an MLA. It’s important for my constituents and Albertans to know where I stand on this critical issue. I urge ALL members of the Alberta’s legislature to take the pledge and make their position known.

Danielle Smith needs to unequivocally denounce separatism and stand united with Team Canada.

The mass resignation of Alberta Law Foundation staff shows just how egregious the UCP government’s political interference is.
Bill 14 undermines our institutions, puts access to justice at risk, and should be of concern to all Albertans. 3/3
#AbLeg
The UCP’s Bill 14 gives the UCP unprecedented political control over the Foundation, including the power for the minister to make funding decisions, rewrite its bylaws and issue binding directives — effectively allowing the govt to control money that isn’t theirs. 2/3

We've already been saying this for months: Alberta’s hospitals and emergency rooms are in crisis.
Doctors and patients have been sounding the alarm. Danielle Smith and the UCP government must take urgent action to fix the health care chaos they have created.
Alberta’s flu vaccination rates are dangerously low, and our healthcare system is feeling the impact. Getting vaccinated helps protect lives and helps keep the pressure off emergency rooms.
It’s not too late: book your flu shot today.

🚨 Overcrowded
🚨 Unsafe
🚨 Stretched beyond capacity
Doctors and patients are sounding the alarm that our hospitals and ERs are in crisis, but the UCP government remains silent.
Albertans should be able to access quality health care when they need it, where they need it. #abhealth #ableg #abpoli
