A reminder:
1. Don’t stop contacting your UCP MLA, the Education Minister & the Premier to tell them you object to their preemptive use of the notwithstanding clause.
2. Be civil when you do. Don’t swear. Don’t lob insults. Just firmly express your opposition. #abpoli

An errant voicemail from a UCP MLA shows just how much pressure they're facing from constituents over their use of the notwithstanding clause.

What happens when you call your MLA?
An errant voicemail gives us insight into how the UCP is handling the backlash against its use of the notwithstanding clause. They're not doing well.

“Apocalypticism has the capacity to rewire the brains of even the most reflective individuals and distort their vision to such a degree that even a bullying plutocrat with a deep fake tan can appear as the Messiah.” —Mark Lilla
Storm Warnings | Mark Lilla
The MAGA movement is not fed by conservative ideas but by a nihilistic, apocalyptic determination to stage a counterrevolution against the Sixties, against liberalism, against even democracy itself.

🚨 This is inexplicable news to share. If in Alberta and you want flu and covid shots for NEXT year (2026-2027), you have only until December 15 of THIS year to order them.
