Not every disabled Albertan who should be on AISH gets an NDP presser, and the determining factor on who gets access to the supports they need should be based on what supports they need... Not the UCP's fear of bad press. /2

I am incensed by this taxpayer-funded UCP propaganda from beginning to end - from its dishonest title (how does imposing fees on immigrants make AB stronger?) to its slanted commentary (eg federal firearms laws are now "federal meddling" at 10 that needs to be trumped). 1/ #abpoli #ableg

Inbox just now. Between C-5 and C-39 (and there will likely be project- and job action-specific lawsuits as well as ones launched challenging the bills themselves) Build Canada Strong is a stimulus package for lawyers.
CUPW vows to resist and push back against Bill C-39              September 25, 2026

 

Ottawa - The National Executive Board (NEB) of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) has passed a resolution vowing to resist and push back against the implementation of Bill C-39.

 “This bill is a complete betrayal of all Canadian workers,” says Jan Simpson, CUPW National President.  

“Without the right to strike, workers simply have no bargaining power to negotiate fair deals with their employers.”

 CUPW says the bill proposes changes to the Canadian Labour Code that would “undermine workers' constitutional right to strike and the fundamental principles of free and fair collective bargaining.” This includes giving the Minister of Labour near total discretion to intervene in bargaining and end strikes.

“No government or Minister of Labour should have the unilateral authority to interfere with workers' constitutional rights or determine when those rights can be exercised,” CUPW’s resolution read.This legislation will not bring labour peace. Nor will it “Build Canada Strong” in the face of a trade war with the United States. Rather, it will negate with the stroke of a pen important Charter rights workers have secured through generations of workers’ struggle. These rights have empowered workers to negotiate better wages, decent working conditions, paid time off, job security, health benefits, and dignity on the job.

“The Carney government didn’t give us our rights, and it is not going to take them away now.”

The fightback starts now.

 

In solidarity

My question about the disconnect between Carney’s rhetoric and his actual policies is this: If he stands by his agenda and thinks Canadians will accept what he’s doing, why does he feel the need to try to mislead us about the actual impacts of his policies?

This is false and misleading. There is nothing in the constitution that would require Ottawa to negotiate with Alberta if a majority of Albertans choose Option 2 on Question 10. Alberta Proud is a registered third-party advertiser. Daniel Kary, of Calgary, is the main contact/CFO.
There's a lot of confusion about what Question 10 on the October 19 ballot actually means, so let's be clear.
Question 10 gives voters two options: remain a province of Canada, or start the legal process toward a binding referendum. A binding referendum means a future province-wide vote whose result the government is legally required to act on, not just listen to and ignore. Choosing the second option doesn't take Alberta out of Canada.
Under Canada's constitution, if enough Albertans choose the second option, Ottawa would be required to come to the table for a real conversation about Alberta's place in Canada, how our resources are managed, and whether we're getting a fair return.
Are you voting on October 19?

Q - Won't making businesses pay $1900 a year extra for their workers just cause them to have to increase costs & pass those on to consumers? Smith - Your business should be able to handle that. It's not that much. So Albertans will pay either way. Great referendum.

Once again, the UCP is changing the rules at the last minute for their separatist friends. We’re worried these changes could open the door to voter fraud by limiting the information available to those scrutinizing the vote. Danielle Smith won’t lift a finger to fight for Canada. We will.
