I guess one way to distract people from your friendship with a sex criminal is to claim that you are friends with a political murderer.

Alberta aims to curtail regulatory bodies from sanctioning workers for after-hours activities | CBC News
Many Alberta workers could no longer be investigated by their licensing bodies for what they say outside of work hours, should the legislature pass a new bill.

Lots of great speakers tonight spoke the truth. When I heard @courtellingson.bsky.social say “we will repeal these laws” my heart skipped a beat.
There’s hope, Alberta. We know we are on the right side of history. And we can work to turn this wicked tide.

Spoke to a room of lawyers and judges tonight. Told them: when many Albertans picture the UCP base, they picture you.
They were shocked — most of them oppose the democratic backsliding.
I reminded them: as long as they stay silent, that perception will stick.
All pluralists need to speak out.

The party that promised "free speech on campus" has made sure there can be no free speech on campuses.
This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.
