"The rule of law is under vicious attack in this province and I am not the first, nor will I be the last, to call this out. When an institution is silent in the face of what is happening in this province, that silence is complicity." Another resignation at the Law Society.

The NDP have released a statement condemning violence after a Muslim school in Calgary received emails threatening to kill children & telling Muslims to leave Canada. It appears there is no similar statement from the premier. Or her Justice Minister. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

The core of question 1 is based on the idea that Alberta has no mechanisms and never has to control or limit what kind of temporary workers come into Alberta... But that's not at all true. Because in 2017, the NDP negotiated a pilot program that did exactly that. /2
