#GVerse Rob Reiner spent decades defending democracy and fighting for equality - even when it wasn’t easy or popular. At a moment when silence is safer, his willingness to speak out is a reminder that protecting democracy requires courage.

Robert Reich is no doubt thinking of the US but this is equally applicable in Smith's Alberta (especially in light of her recent interview/campaign speech). #abpoli #ableg
Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

Alberta’s Bill 11 threatens universal public healthcare across Canada. It replaces universal care with a two-tier system. This means longer waits, higher costs for everyone, and weaker public healthcare.

The Alberta Energy Regulator, in internal documents, estimated clean-up costs for oil & gas at north of a quarter TRILLION dollars. Call me crazy but maybe Albertans should think about cleaning up the existing mess before making it worse. You OWN this. #AbPoli

So, a Qanon, separatist, MAGA-loving, wannabe Queen supported by just 6,919 Alberta voters & a UCP supported by just 928,900 voters (less than 1/3 of 3 million eligible) should be able to make/change laws to benefit themselves on a whim?

Another change proposed in the bill is to give Alberta’s justice minister immunity from sanctions from the Law Society of Alberta, which regulates lawyers, for any actions they perform as part of their “official duties” — a term not defined in the legislature.
