Effective October 9, 2026, I am resigning my position as a Bencher with the Law Society of Alberta.
The purpose of the Law Society is to uphold and protect the public interest in the administration of justice. It is with real disappointment that I say I have lost faith that this body is fulfilling that purpose.
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.
In the last year I have watched the Law Society move to dismantle the diversity, equity and inclusion work we built over several years, in response to the political ideologies of the current government. An institution truly committed to those principles would defend them when it became inconvenient to do so. Commitments that disappear the moment they are tested were never commitments at all.
I am not willing to lend my name or my presence to decisions I cannot support.
I hope one day you will find your courage,
Moira

"Invasion." "Remigration." They're terms you'd more commonly associate with America's toxic debate around immigration policy than Canada's. But they're starting to pop up here. You can thank Danielle Smith and the UCP for that. #cdnpoli #abpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/10/06/o...

America’s anti-immigration politics are coming to Canada — and Alberta invited them in
The separation question has consumed most of the attention around the province's October 19th referendum. The immigration-related questions also on the ballot might be just as dangerous and divisive.

These traitorous goofs offered up our FRESH WATER????? Full exposé on these idiot Alberta separatists here: archive.is/rhGUj
Excerpt from the Globe article reads: “A Globe and Mail investigation has found that Republican political operatives were on the ground in Alberta this year to assist the separatist campaign in its bid to leave Canada, while harbouring their own aspirations for the province to secede.
The Globe also found that when Alberta separatist leaders went to Washington to meet with the U.S. State Department, they offered up key assets from the province's resource portfolio, including access to fresh water and royalties on crude oil, in exchange for help transitioning to independence.
Through interviews with The Globe on both sides of the border, people involved in politics, the corporate sector and Alberta's pursuit of separatism have described persistent efforts by figures in the U.S. administration and conservative political establishment to support groups seeking American expansionism and independence for Alberta.”
