With no anti-SLAPP protection in Alberta, they've been drawn into a long, costly legal battle.
If you believe in accountability and a free press, and can spare it, give them your support.

Hi Bluesky 👋
Small life update: I’m at the centre of a multimillion dollar lawsuit in Alberta launched by a failed candidate for Jason Kenney’s UCP
It may be the longest and most expensive media trial in Canadian history
I’m ready to go public about it and I want to share more details with you 🧵

BC's anti-SLAPP legislation was critical to keeping a meritless lawsuit @torimarlan.bsky.social and I faced to the "affordable" sum of ~$50k in legal fees. Journalists like Luke not protected by these laws have much higher exposure — even when, like us, they did nothing wrong.
In other provinces, journalists can use anti-SLAPP legislation to challenge lawsuits when they believe they are groundless or undermine the public interest
Alberta has no such laws, leaving journalists vulnerable to long and expensive legal battles
I believe that is fundamentally bad for democracy

My piece from last week got translated into French! Than you @pivot.quebec
INFO | Le gouvernement albertain a utilisé la clause dérogatoire pour imposer une loi spéciale et forcer le retour au travail des enseignant·es. Le plus grand syndicat de la province entend répliquer fermement, sans toutefois en arriver déjà à la grève générale.

there's so many people in this world who've literally never gone through a right wing phase and yet we keep being okay with people who "grew out of theirs". I guess time will tell but I don't trust him to stand up to the UCP or make Calgary a better place for the average person.
