What books did Alberta schools *actually* pull off the shelves in response to a provincial order? It took a lot of work to find out. We still don't have a complete picture. And some schools are still pulling material.
Free speech advocates say it's ban unmatched in Canadian history. #AbLeg By me.

A national campaign is underway to shore up the Alberta government's 'finding' that – surprise – its closure of supervised consumption sites didn't kill anyone.
Unfortunately, the study's corruption is showing.
W/ comments from Dr. L. Hardcastle:

If patients were not aware of the possibility that their PHN could be shared with external researchers and used for research purposes when the PHNs were collected on consumption sites, in theory these information must not be used for doing any research.

"America is an oil company with an army."
—George Carlin
A few companies have made a great deal of money under the Alberta Recovery Model and there's little to show that they have actually delivered on the outcomes Albertans expect. Are people's health outcomes better off with a two-tier, American-style healthcare? The answer is almost always NO.
Rough, sketchy drawing of a cat giving the middle finger. It is directed at Premier Danielle Smith. Text on the image reads: "Everyday in Berta: How fucking dare you, Smith."
This gov't does not deserve any of the good art anymore, so here's a stupidly drawn cat flipping the bird at our Premier. #abpoli

Calgary police are on a rampage downtown, using drones to find people and clear them off streets. Posting photos of unhoused folks they arrest (see twitter).
It’s collective punishment for social disorder and violence they have failed to improve with prior violence.
Film the cops if you see them.
Right!

"Alberta’s use of the notwithstanding clause continues an alarming trend of provincial governments putting political expediency ahead of people’s human rights." #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli
The UCP government has invoked time allocation and on a bill removing Albertans' Charter rights.
And they're using the notwithstanding clause to do it.
Here's why that is a dangerous precedent. And why real conservatives need to stand up against it.

2 bar graphs show the outcome of the angus reid survey held last week. As well it says: The public school system teacher strike has also brought to the forefront questions around Alberta’s spending on the parallel private system. Seven-in-ten (71%) say that the provincial government should be mainly focused on improving public schools. At the same time, three-in-five (60%) want fewer public funds to go towards private schools in general
The graphs are pretty clear.
