I encourage everyone to share this widely. As Dr. Wesley says, this isn't politics as usual. "...these new measures are unprecedented. Alberta’s drift toward authoritarianism hasn't happened overnight, but we cannot allow ourselves to become desensitized." #ableg

I would rather have a teacher in charge than a preacher in charge. Watching the Christo-numbskull takeover of the UCP and other Conservative parties has been painful.

Jared I agree. It is like @ABDanielleSmith is going on hunger strike of federal money. Congratulations, you are the lucky winner and your prize is that you get to be poor and sick. @nenshi and @albertaNDP will fix this mess!

Thank you @nenshi , @jodi_stonehouse , @gilmcgowan , @shoffmanAB and @KathleenGanley for speaking at our NDP Calgary-Shaw Ice Cream Social this evening. Furthermore it was an honour talking with each of you and meeting most of you for the first time.
Please see my open letter. It is the first in a series of letters about the many impacts and harms caused by recent anti-transgender proposals: josmithisfierce.wordpress.com/wp-content/upl…
the purpose of anti-trans legislation – whether targeting bathrooms, sports, gender-affirming care, books, drag, etc– is to remove trans ppl from the public sphere inasmuch as possible...

Dear Prime Minister, as a Canadian, I request the assistance of the Federal Government in protecting the rights of Alberta citizens, which are being denied by the UCP Government. These include health care, shelter, addiction treatment and trans rights. @JustinTrudeau
Incredible news! Maine's House has passed LD227, a bill that will make Maine a transgender sanctuary state as well as a sanctuary state for abortion patients and providers. This is despite bomb threats after far right activists like LOTT and Riley Gaines targeted legislators.
Sign up to hear the leadership candidates share their vision for Alberta. An important and exciting night! #ableg #abpoli #abndp albertandp.ca/calgary-leader…

I encourage you to attend a Red Dress Day ceremony today in your community and to make a donation to support the organizations working to put an end to this violence.
I’ll have to invite the “Minister of Utilities and other miscellaneous things”, Nathan Neudorf to our little rally. Maybe he’d like to defend his position, on why we all pay so much here. See you on the 25th #EnoughIsEnoughUCP
Despite the rain, a big crowd came this evening @Jewishcalgary to commemorate Yom HaShoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day. More than 6 million Jewish men, women and children were murdered by the Nazis. On this day of introspection, we honour the lives lost and vow to never forget.
Tonight at sundown begins the remembrance of the 6 millions Jews murdered in the of the Holocaust. We must remember & stand against those who would deny so we might help ensure such an atrocity never happens again. And we must continue to stand against anti-semitism &…
I guess we shouldn't be too surprised about Bills 18 and 20.
Interesting quotes here from Danielle Smith: "I look at the Americans. I look at Ron DeSantis in Florida and Kristi Noem in South Dakota," said Smith. "They've been able to create little bastions of freedom, and we can create a little bastion of freedom in Alberta as well."
More Bill 20 hypocrisy: Danielle Smith explains political parties are bad because the loyalty of a politician is to the party instead of their local constituents. Also claims she returned to politics to bring "respect for local decision making" back into the UCP. #ableg #abpoli
NEW: Alberta introduces legislation to allow municipal political parties in Calgary, Edmonton. Bill 20, if passed, would also enable cabinet to remove councillors and order municipalities to amend or repeal bylaws. #yyccc #ableg (Via @CTVCalgary) calgary.ctvnews.ca/alberta-introd…
The hard truth: either the UCP didn't consider these folks, or they simply don't care if they use the ability to vote.
@chimpo_j @MSW_researcher @DrJaredWesley How does one get ID, in rural without a phone or a vehicle? How does one get ID, in urban without an address? Why are we making it more difficult for citizens to vote?

💯Why make it harder for these folks to vote? No one has provided an answer to that question. And it's the government's burden to do so.
@chimpo_j @DrJaredWesley I’m not asking for kudos- I’m hoping that in future, you might take a moment to be compassionate to those who are struggling. I assure you, there is absolutely nothing easy about getting id when you don’t have any.
Today is Red Dress Day - a day when we remember & honour missing & murdered Indigenous women, girls & 2SLGBTQQIA+ peoples. Click below to check out events across Alberta today including here in #yegdt at Beaver Hills House Park: alberta.ca/red-dress-day #ableg
How many Albertans lack voter ID? IBased on government reports and surveys, it's likely between 10,000 and 50,000 citizens. Roughly 100,000 Albertans have participated in vouching at some point. Why would the government want to exclude these folks from elections?+
Bill 20 - there is only one reason this is on the table for the UCP. They are not getting their people into the CGY and EDM mayor seats. This is about control. It won’t end with the big cities. Scrap it.
Today is Red Dress Day. Let us honour to the missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls and 2SLGBTQQIA+ people. Let us bring awareness that much more work needs to be done.
From @the_Jeff_Jones, Transalta postponed and natural-gas-fired peaking plant in addition to cancelling hundred million dollar investments in wind. Danielle Smith is bad for business.
Today I think about my oldest daughter’s biological mother. She was murdered and found in a ditch. Alberta has the highest rate of Murdered Indigenous Women in all of Canada. We have much work to do.
Nathan Neudorf forced the independent system operator to validate his moratorium on renewables. He forced the AESO to lie to the public. In a functioning democracy, the revelation of this corrupt practice by Minister Nathan Neudorf would trigger his resignation.
Kudos to @DrewPAnderson for confirming what most already surmised: that the renewables ban was politically driven and not at the request of "independent" agencies. This will have adverse investment consequences for the foreseeable future. #ableg thenarwhal.ca/alberta-renewa…
