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

The UCP’s excuses for using the notwithstanding clause — “because we can,” “because we have to,” and “because we say so” — do not meet Lougheed's standards. 🔗 jaredwesley.ca/newsletter

Reminds me of the line from the movie The Dark Knight: "You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain"

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



Here's Rob Anderson, Premier Smith's Chief of Staff, in 2013 (before the 2015 Supreme Court decision): "That to me impinges upon their freedom of assembly, I would think, and their right to organize & so forth, which is a protected right under our Charter of Rights and Freedoms"

Former PC Edu Minister Dave King wants to eliminate the Catholic education system - which actually is an original constitutional right - rather than the so called charter right to strike which was created out of thin air by the Supreme Court in 2015. That might be just a tad…

The question arises: did Alberta govt. officials actions - interfering in an @AER_news quasi-judicial tribunal hearing - rise to the crime of obstructing justice under S. 139(2) of the Criminal Code? @orlaghokelly @IanRunkle

“This reflects a flagrant disregard for fundamental rights and freedoms, and a cavalier attitude which is shocking to Albertans and to Canadians.” Criminal defense lawyers across the province weigh in on Smith’s use of the notwithstanding clause. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli



Premier Smith should heed Danielle Smith's advice. "By attacking the legal rights of unions in this way, the Premier is only deepening the rift between the government and its workers, and it’s driving that crucial relationship right off the rails..." #ableg #abpoli

"Earlier this month, the OIPC mediator issued a decision that rejected the government’s arguments and asked it to release the records by Oct. 23" Alberta government says it won't abide by ruling to share Alberta Next Panel survey results. edmontonjournal.com/news/politics/…


Premier Smith's CoS Rob Anderson won't listen to experts. Maybe he should listen to himself? According to Rob, the government is acting like a "dictator" by ripping away legal rights to impose a settlement. "That's wrong. That's not the Alberta way. That's not what we do here."

Experts eh?

I see the problem, Alberta teachers didn't have a "DONT TREAD ON ME" Gadsden flag in their classrooms like Premier Danielle Smith does. /s Hypocrite. #ableg #abpoli

An appalling, unjust, law drives teachers back to work. The most dangerous precedent Alberta has seen In many years. Column. calgaryherald.com/news/braid-an-… #abed #ableg #abpoli #yyc #yeg #cdnpoli


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

Let's be clear about what happened today. Premier Smith introduced a bill to strip Albertans of Charter rights, denied MLAs the opportunity to debate it and the courts the ability to scrutinize it, and did all of this from her seat on a jet to Saudi Arabia.

The UCP government has invoked time allocation 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. jaredwesley.ca/newsletter

So the "Alberta Bill of Rights" Premier Smith extolled and recently amended is completely useless, as she can override these rights whenever she wants. What a joke. #ableg #abpoli

An important note… Smith isn’t just overriding the federal Charter… She’s also overriding the Alberta Human Rights Act AND the Alberta Bill of Rights she just rewrote. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli



Demetrios Nicolaides: Recalls should not be about government policy and priorities! Danielle Smith: If you're angry about municipal government policy prioritizing bike lanes, you should recall your councillor! UCP are hypocrites. #ableg #abpoli

Well... One senior health official tried to get to the bottom of it and **allegedly** found herself targeted by staff from the Health ministry, and the Premier's office, and was fired before she could do so. #ahs #ableg #abpoli

A final report into allegations of corruption in #Alberta health contracts says it was widely known two staffers were in “real or perceived” conflicts of interest but no steps were taken by senior health officials. #yyc #abpoli #ableg @CTVCalgary ctvnews.ca/edmonton/artic…
