We can help by writing MPs, PM, Mins of Justice, etc demanding that we create the legal tools needed to address this threat to our sovereignty. A LOT has changed in the world order since the 80s. If we want to remain sovereign, our laws need some teeth for today's threats.

According to our Criminal Code, treason and sedition are both very specifically tied to armed insurgence. Unfortunately, we can't charge them with that. This part of our code was last revised in 1985. It badly needs updating to reflect our current reality. MP Cory Hogan is trying to make that happen

Only Jeffrey Rath would come up with this horse$hit. He's in court being sued for fraud & theft by three+ different parties totalling over $120 million; his assets here are frozen. One case is loan company in Delaware, he borrowed to finance court cases here in Canada 🤔 he defaulted; where is $$?

An update: the Edmonton public school board passed the motion to examine registration policies, and may make recommendations to align them with the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (if that's in the board's authority). Timeline unclear: chair Saadiq Sumar says it won't rush this work. #AbEd

Your semi-regular reminder that we don't do "freedom of speech" in Canada. The Charter grants a right to freedom of expression "subject only to such reasonable limits prescribed by law as can be demonstrably justified in a free and democratic society." So hate speech is illegal. #CdnPoli

The Criminal Code of Canada defines treason as armed insurrection. The UCP/seps do not meet criteria. It's absolutely wild that they can do what they did with no legal repercussions, but that is the unfortunate reality. MP Cory Hogan is calling for reforming and updating the code.

"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.

"But the handicapped need cars!" No, what they need are options in mobility. The tech exists to enable their freedom of independent mobility, but almost always what is lacking is the enabling infrastructure. Bike lanes and quality sidewalks serve everyone.

They do not meet criteria for treason. Our Criminal Code (last update was 1985) defines it as "armed insurrection". Same with sedition. We do not actually have a legal tool to use here and that needs to change. So glad that Mr.Hogan is championing this.

You may qualify for the free shot. Your kid with disabilities almost certainly does. Tell the pharmacy that you qualify (if you have ever been diagnosed with anxiety, you do - not a stretch for most people). They are not going to argue with you. HCWs are just as mad about the fee. They want to help.

The other 9 questions, the noxious nine as some have said, are far worse than question 10. Will the rest of Canada want to even look at much less speak to Albertans who desire a society that is both anti-immigrant & unconstitutional? Alberta will be the embarrassing, racist, obscene uncle at dinner.
