NDP member David Shepherd said itโ€™s impossible to view the UCP motions โ€œas anything but an attempt to interfere with the work of Mr. Wylie, to divert and detour.

โ€œWe have seen a lot of reprehensible behaviour on the record today โ€” incredible disrespect and condescension.โ€

"And, oh, yes, heโ€™s also probing the private surgery procurement scandal. Wylie is the only investigator, besides the RCMP, with power to compel witnesses & testimony under oath.

That report will almost certainly be released before his contract expires in the spring."

โ€œIf the United States wants to contribute to a global solution, they need to reduce their greenhouse-gas emissions,โ€ said Daniels. โ€œGiven that they are in the top 3 of greenhouse-gas emitters, maybe the onus could go back to them for some of that responsibility.โ€

Every day, more details come out that show just how deep this plot to protect the wealthy and powerful goes.

They are being shielded from justice. Rep. Thomas Massie and I are fighting to bring them to justice and release the files.
โ€œThere are growing signs of trouble for the government. Their lead in the polls is slipping. Incidents and irritants are building up.

They will not, for instance, release their feedback from the Alberta Next panel.โ€

โ€œThe notwithstanding clause is simply not necessary,โ€ she wrote in a 2006 column for the Herald.

โ€œPoliticians are wily enough to find a way to violate charter rights with or w/out it.โ€

The Labour Relations Code;
The Public Education Collective Bargaining Act;
The Alberta Bill of Rights;
The Alberta Human Rights Act;
The Education Act.
