The UCP, like all conservative parties of Canada, are nazis who are waging warfare against the people of Canada.

They're guilty of treason and deserve at least the fullest punishment for each crime they've committed against the people.

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.

Use of the #Notwithstanding clause needs to be stopped. The last half dozen times it's been threatened or used, it has been for the benefit of a Conservative premier or Con party. Used to take away Canadian's rights, not protect them.

How would you describe that worldview?
My father told me something when I was very small to instill confidence in me: “Nobody in the world is worth more than you, but nobody’s worth less.” It is an egalitarian view that I’ve carried around in my life. That’s why I am for free schools, free universities, free health care, and free babysitting. Because our society could afford it. In America, people think social democracy is some kind of communism. They think capitalism is freedom. It’s not. It’s only freedom to exploit people.

but sure, BC conservative voters... lets get us some of that, eh?

and AB ...you have to get past the ancient notion that default voting for Cons is some kind of claim to fame. It's killing you, and rendering your prov unlivable, as your Premier takes trips to Dubai and Maga-Lago on your tax $

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.

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.

Venezuela has scrambled F-16 fighter jets from El Libertador Air Base in Maracay. They’re heading towards the southern Caribbean Sea where the US airforce is operating.

There’s always a danger that these shows of strength can get out of hand.

Ganley: Using the Notwithstanding Clause would be a huge problem. If this govt is willing to violate the rights of so many of its citizens in this instance, what is to stop them from using it in other instances. This is how fascism starts. First they attack the rights of one groups, then another,

Fish in the forest, seaweed in trees?
Yes - 13 years ago tonight, the M7.8 #HaidaGwaii earthquake generated the world's largest #tsunami of 2012. Runup to 13m in some inlets left seaweed in trees and fish in the forest. If you are near water and feel long and strong shaking, go to high ground.

A photo of seaweed in trees and a GPS unit to measure the height above sea level. The seaweed in the trees was deposited by the October 27th, 2012 tsunami generated by an offshore M7.8 earthquake. GSC photo.

I remember this! I remember trying to figure out if I was high enough to survive a tsunami.
