The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled. A truly extraordinary moment. We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT. Act like it.

Racialized Albertans are facing increased levels of hatred & discrimination. They should be able to trust that their elected leaders are working to make that better, not worse. Sadly, with Danielle Smith and the UCP, it’s increasingly clear they can’t. That’s unacceptable. #abpoli
