Not up to speed yet but listened to a quick snippet about what the premier of Alberta has been trying to do in the legislature. Isn’t that the kind of thing the convoy folks have been rallying against? The powers to ram new policies through in private away from public scrutiny. Also the ability to ignore whatever federal policy she doesn’t agree with. Feel free to straighten me out. Now back to bleeding my brakes.

well they havent even got the bill in place yet and its already "a confusing mess " so they are going to amend it

Trudeau is just watching and waiting,   there is no point in JT getting excited cuz this UCP government may not last very long

the convoy types really had no idea what they were rallying against there were about 5 different factions and they had child like ideas about how the country is run

They should be pissed (but won't be).  From what I heard it not only avoids public scrutiny but also sidesteps all elected officials.  You know, people's rights.  Who needs those?

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is a fascist.  Or at least, fascist adjacent.  Hopefully the UCP gets turfed out.

according to latest polls the NDP would win so its no where near a slam dunk, the race is Danielle Smith's to lose and she has already shown what an idiot she is

if she keeps opening up her trap, maybe NDP will get in.  I have an uncle in Calgary who is a die hard right wing guy (likes Trump) and said Notley did a good job when she was in.

Commissioner Paul Rouleau said on Friday that the federal government met the "very high" threshold needed to invoke the Emergencies Act last winter, citing "a failure in policing and federalism."

"Lawful protest descended into lawlessness, culminating in a national emergency," he wrote in his highly anticipated report, tabled Friday in the House of Commons.
