Delaying release of scientific evidence, muzzling scientists from speaking publicly, and worse, ignoring decades of selenium water pollution evidence. Who is the UCP government serving?

This is about as bad as it gets. The auditor general has revealed the UCP government is lying to the public about healthcare reform. A must read for Albertans of all political stripes.

Use your memberships and money.

Join organizations that defend democratic norms.

Cancel business with those that openly attack them.

Even small donations to local media, NGOs, and community groups matter.

Subscribe to news organizations that are investigating the backsliding.

“The decision to override Charter rights fails this test.”

The Anglican, Lutheran and United Churches in Alberta have written to Danielle Smith condemning her use of the notwithstanding clause to punch down on the vulnerable Albertans.

The Canadian province of Alberta does NOT have an anti-SLAPP statute. So, it will be expensive to defend freedom of the press. Read up to learn more, and read down to get links to the Statement of Claim and Statement of Defence.

It's still bonkers to think that less than a year ago the Liberals were dead in the water and Pierre Poilievre's Conservatives were headed towards the biggest electoral landslide in Canadian history.

Cut to today and Alberta Conservative MPs are rumoured to be defecting to the Liberal Party.
Dimitri Soudas, former Harper comms guy, told RadCan this morning that he's hearing Conservative MP Matt Jeneroux will cross the floor to the Liberals today.

If this happens, the Liberals are one seat short of a majority. You know what that means.

That's right.

Elizabeth May is Kingmaker.

As job cuts, layoffs and downsizing seize the oil and gas industry, Alberta needs to pivot to secure good jobs for the next generation.

Read our latest op-ed in the Calgary Herald ⬇️
For oil and gas insight, look at what companies are doing – not what politicians are saying
This is not the time for us to stake our economic future on an industry which appears to be cutting jobs and battening down the hatches.
