I concluded this weeks ago. They didn't hide it.
The UCP didn't have to use the notwithstanding clause. They wanted to, in order to avoid an arbitration process they knew they'd lose.

This is the sort of thing that in any normal province would sink a government. The Sky Palace pales in comparison.
It's such overt corruption, but they're doing everything they can to change the rules so it's not illegal.

NEW: This week on 'Whatever This Is' we explain why Danielle Smith’s pipeline hype hides something worse. Bill 11. A plan that lets doctors work public and private at the same time. Rich Albertans get a private pipeline of care. The rest of us wait longer and pay more.

I know the UCP line is “healthcare like Europe” but these people don’t have a collectivist bone in their bodies. In the European countries they’re nodding to, taxes support a well-funded public system alongside a well-regulated private one. The UCP won’t do that.

They also say nobody in Canada will ride a bike or use a bike lane in winter. Many liars.

We need to keep seeing threads like this. The next Alberta election is 2 yrs away and we can’t let the track record of this UCP government fade.
Keeping up with the UCP government's democratic transgressions can be difficult.
But not impossible.
Here’s a running list since Danielle Smith became premier. 🧵👇
