Now Treaty 8 chiefs are supporting three representative plaintiffs in a legal action to get those dollars returned to individuals.
And the federal government is being sued too for not doing anything to stop Alberta’s actions.

"The documents here clearly contain fraudulent valuations that defendants used in business," the judge wrote.
He ordered the company to cancel its #NewYork business certificates."

The most high-profile effort, a #lawsuit known as #MissouriVBiden, is now before #SCOTUS, where the #Biden admin seeks to have the high court block a ruling from the US Court of Appeals for the #5thCircuit that found the #WhiteHouse, #FBI & top federal #health officials likely violated the #FirstAmendment by improperly influencing #tech companies’ decisions to remove or suppress posts on the #coronavirus & #elections.

UnitedHealthcare tried to deny Chris McNaughton health coverage. He fought back, filed a lawsuit and exposed the #insurance company’s inner workings.

A separate US #civil #lawsuit accuses the #platform, at the time led by #JackDorsey, of enabling #SaudiArabia’s #HumanRights #abuses against its users. The case comes from the sister of a fmr aid worker, #AbdulrahmanalSadhan, whose anonymous parody account… mocking the country’s govt earned him 20 yrs in #prison. But it connects his fate to a pattern of behavior that includes the kingdom’s installation of #operatives into #Twitter’s ranks to funnel to authorities private info on #dissidents.

They aim to ensure “that votes cast will be for those constitutionally qualified to hold office, that a #disqualified candidate does not siphon off support from…candidates of choice, & that voters are not deprived of the chance to vote for a qualified candidate in the general election,” the #lawsuit says.
Similar efforts are unfolding in other states. Last month, …#FreeSpeechForPeople wrote to… #Florida, #NewHampshire, #NewMexico, #Ohio & #Wisconsin, urging them not to include #Trump on ballots.
Six #Colorado voters filed a #lawsuit on Wednesday seeking to keep #Trump off the state’s #ballots under the #14thAmendment, which says anyone who “engaged in #insurrection or rebellion” against the #Constitution after taking an #oath to defend it is #ineligible to hold office.
