The song "We're Not Gonna Take It" came out almost 40 years ago, but I feel like we have continued to take it.
Canada’s Conservative Traitors
(aka Putin’s Puppets) are busy busy busy undermining democracy and the rule of law
Except for her own social media posts and the hours and hours of video footage of her violating the law, I guess.
They keep pretending like choking a city with trucks and blasting horns constantly at harmful volumes would have been legal if it wasn’t a coup attempt.
Obstructing infrastructure to extract a political concession is terrorism under the law in this country. It’s in black and white, clear as day, in the Criminal Code.
Protesting isn’t a get out of jail free card.
Jodi Calahoo Stonehouse: "This should be a public review, not a secretive review that the United Conservatives had their paid friend conduct behind closed doors.”

Albertans should definitely keep in mind that anyone found guilty of allowing or failing to stop an unlawful emission faces potential conviction on a criminal offence, incarceration in a federal prison and a million dollars a day in fines under CEPA.
The province cannot jail you, or arguably even fire you, for insisting on staying within the bounds of federal criminal law. They can’t discipline you at all, really.
Seems like a no brainer.
Seems to me that invoking the #Alberta Sovereignty Act triggers the backstop powers over environmental regulation the courts have determined the federal government holds, ironically strengthening federal power to regulate the issues they’re trying to illegally exclude them from.

“Leaked briefing documents reveal plans to discuss fossil fuel projects with 15 nations [including Canada]”
My first reaction honestly is that my potential-racism red-flag is waving. And are we so incredibly naïve to think these kinds of deals haven't happened during other non-Arab oil-nation-hosted COPs in the past 30 years!?
Come on.
There's a reason why the COP statements are *always* watered down and we, as a world, have still never managed to stop the rise of emissions and as Canada the country, never once hit our emissions targets.
The billionaire-class is burning the planet. Some of them wear business suits, and some where white flowing clothes.

In Canada, approximately 100 out of every 100,000 prisoners die. 3/4 of that is from suicide, 1/4 from homicide (rounded figures, as the breakdown is very precise).
Meanwhile, in the 120 year history of Residential Schools, it is estimated that about 1 in 50 children have died (at least 3200 children). That is the conservative estimate from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. Other experts believe it's up to 6,000 students, which would double that number to nearly 1 in 25 children. #cdnpoli

"Within WEEKS after lockdowns started, the op-ed class repeatedly suggested that

- The elderly have already lived long enough and should be willing to die now to help the economy.
- The weak and compromised should be regarded as expendable."
Wake up Canadians. The border between Canada and the US is a line on a piece of paper. Trump and the Republicans have zero respect for either.

"Police complaint system... in need of rapid overhaul, lawyer says"
- CBC News, Nov 22, 2023
Newfoundland law puts the chief of police in an inherent conflict of interest in deciding "whether public complaints [about the police] should be laid, and also whether or not they're founded to begin with." Government reforms now include a committee of police officers to decide how to transform themselves... yet another flawed process.

"Israel’s national broadcaster Kan uploaded this song to X (formerly Twitter) in which Israeli children sing in celebration and support for the Israeli army’s mass extermination campaign of Palestinians in Gaza.
"The sweet faces of children make an incongruous accompaniment to the genocidal lyrics of the so-called Friendship Song 2023"

If Alberta wants to create their own pension plan they should do so. Why they think they can take any portion of the CPP assets, let alone over half of it, is beyond me.
So yeah, go ahead and start a plan. Albertans who contributed to CPP prior to the start of the new plan will receive payments from both, unless a coordinating agreement can be reached.
But no splintering of CPP assets to kickstart the new scheme.
