Regarding Prime Minister Carney’s federal budget: I don’t pretend to fully know it, and there are elements that concern me, but if I were the NDP I’d pledge to support it if a significant investment in urban public transit (nation-building, climate etc) was added, and if I were PM Carney I’d agree.

Thursday, Bill 9-Protecting Alberta’s Children Statues Amendment Act will be introduced in the Alberta Legislature.

It is expected the UCP will invoke the notwithstanding clause (again) to shield their anti-trans bill from judicial scrutiny.

They are normalizing the use of NWC. Nurses next.

MIDNIGHT UPDATE: Moderate/Dem-backed candidates are currently sweeping every school board race in conservative Douglas County, Colorado (home to a famous school voucher experiment). Would give moderates total 7-0 control of the school board. #copolitics

In light of the stunning size of the blue wave, I’m also thinking of all the important races that Dems left on the table by not running a candidate:

Now 8 days to go before the deadline fully passes for local candidates to run in Virginia — and there still only are Republican candidates running for sheriff in the state's two biggest cities, as sheriffs ramp up their cooperation with ICE and federal immigration authorities.
