Member Irwin: Another task force from the UCP. Unhoused folks dying on our streets can’t wait for a task force. The evidence is clear. We know what’s needed – housing, investments in harm reduction, preventative health care – not a task force consisting of mostly White, privileged politicians who’ve never experienced homelessness or known what it’s like to struggle with addiction. To the Premier. Now is your chance to set a new direction. Stop with the committees, the panels, the task forces and instead roll up your sleeves, make the investments we all know are needed, and support our communities today.

Mr. Milliken: Addiction, homelessness, and public safety issues are impacting every community in Alberta. That is why we are taking extreme action with regard to this fantastic task force. I kind of actually already feel like I answered some of these questions yesterday, so maybe I’ll just give a couple of quotes here. I’d like to quote the Edmonton police chief, Dale McFee, who said: this is the first time that I’ve seen the right ministers take the right approach, in my opinion, and actually drive change. He called what we are doing on this issue real leadership.

The Alberta government says it will fund mental health and addiction supports for people being held in police custody in Calgary and expand community-led harm reduction teams in the city.

Nicholas Milliken, minister of mental health and addiction, says the province is to spend $5 million on the program over three years in partnership with Calgary police.

"I've grown increasingly concerned about the growing trend of social issues like addiction, mental health, homelessness and public safety, and how they've affected our city," Milliken said Friday.

"Residents, businesses, transit riders and even visitors can all clearly see the impact of this crisis and the social disorder that comes along with it." [...]

Meriwether V. Hartop And First Amendment Rights

By Autumn Andin, George Mason University Class Of 2023

December 18, 2022

Gender identity has been an intense debate over the years. Especially with American universities, many prides themselves on intellectual diversity and academic freedom.

Meriwether v. Hardtop is a significant court case concerning the First Amendment rights of public employees.[1]

Nicholas Meriwether was a philosophy professor at Shawnee State University in Portsmouth, Ohio. In 2016, the university emailed the faculty informing them that they are supposed to refer to students by their preferred pronouns; otherwise, the professors would be disciplined.

In 2018, Meriwether found himself at odds with the university policy. On the first day of class, Meriwether was using the Socratic method to lead discussion in his course on Political Philosophy. When using that method, he addressed the students as “Mr.” or “Ms.” The professor had claimed that by addressing students in this fashion, it served as an important pedagogical tool, especially in Political Philosophy where he and the students discussed many of the most controversial issues of public concern[2].

One student in his class, Jane Doe, who was a female identifying transgender student, approached him after class, emphasizing a desire to be addressed as “she/her” pronouns.[3]          

After class, Doe approached Meriwether and demanded that Meriwether refer to Doe as a woman. Meriwether responded that due to his religious beliefs, it prevents him from communicating messages about gender identity that he believes are false. Therefore, he is unsure if he can comply with Doe’s demands.

This incident was brought to the Dean’s office where Dean Milliken advised that Meriwether needed to refer to Doe as a woman as part of the university’s policy.

Soon after, Meriwether accidently referred to Doe using the title “Mr.” This time around, Doe complained to the university’s Title IX Coordinator and threatened to retain counsel if the university didn’t take action. [4] As a result, Dean Milliken visited Meriwether’s office and reiterated her demand and threatened disciplinary action if he did not comply.

As a result of this, for the rest of the semester, Meriwether referred to Doe only by her last name. Doe received a high grade at the end of the course. In order to try find a common ground, Meriwether continued to search for any accommodations of his personal and religious views that would satisfy the university. However, Shawnee State was not willing to compromise. Meriwether filed a lawsuit and claimed that the university violated his rights under the  First Amendment Speech and Free Exercise rights by subjecting him to discipline overuse of pronouns. Professor Meriwether claimed that he is a devout Christian. Therefore, he strives to live out his faith each day. Therefore, he believes that that “God has created human beings as either male or female, that this sex is fixed in each person from the moment of conception, and that it cannot be changed, regardless of an individual’s feelings or desires” [5]

The court dismissed the opposing arguments by Shawnee State and the intervenors. One argument was that the Supreme Court cases should not be applied because they preceded Garcetii.In Garcetti, it explicitly declined to address whether its analysis applied to cases of speech regarding scholarship or teaching.

[6]Therefore, it did not apply to bar Meriwether’s claim since the Court had expressed to withhold applying a precedent to a case involving speech related to scholarship or teaching.

The court also claimed that academic freedom exceptions did not protect the appellant’s use of pronouns in the classroom. The Court noted that the issue was connected to the substance of classroom discussion, especially in a subject such as a political philosophy course.

The Supreme Court had long recognized the importance of public education and its associated freedoms of speech and thought that enabled the “marketplace of ideas”.

Therefore, the university’s interest in punishing the appellant was weak. The appellant had proposed a compromise to only use the student’s last name. Therefore, this would not have created a hostile learning environment. There was also suggestion that the appellant’s speech inhibited his duties, the operation of the school, or the student from receiving education benefits

'No Thanks Given' protests target UCP government’s pandemic response

Volume 90%

CALGARY - Fourteen UCP MLA constituency offices were plastered with messages and signs during a cross-province protest on Saturday. "No Thanks Given" was an Alberta-wide event aimed at showing the government that citizens are unhappy with the province's pandemic response.

It was originally planned by the Alberta Federation of Labour (AFL), though individuals organized specific gatherings in Calgary, Edmonton, Lethbridge, Airdrie and Red Deer.

"It's so huge to send a message to (the party) that we are not OK with the current health system," Keira Gunn told CTV News. Gunn posted signs and messages on Health Minister Jason Copping's northwest Calgary office doors.

There didn't appear to be anyone inside, but Gunn is hoping the notes might be read at a later date. "Please start listening to us," she said. "I'm at the point of absolute despair when it comes to UCP MLAs listening to the public," added Mary Spensley from Calgary-Currie. "I'm more used to them mocking us."

Spensley was at Nicholas Milliken's constituency office. She's part of a group angered by this summer's policy decisions. "To declare that COVID was over was absolutely magical thinking," she said. "And now where we are today is a rather tragic place to be."

If trends hold, COVID-19 is on track to be one of the top two causes of death in the province in 2021. "Almost everything that they touch has turned to disaster, particularly their COVID policy," said AFL president Gil McGowan. "The unacceptably high rate of infection, the unacceptably high rate of death and the fact that our hospitals are overwhelmed are all a result of irresponsible and reckless decisions made by this government.

"They're always too little, too late." A recent ThinkHQ poll suggests Premier Jason Kenney is continuing to see a decline in approval across the province.

More than 1,100 respondents gave their opinion on the Kenney's leadership, with only 22 per cent offering any degree of approval. Of the respondents, 77 per cent disapprove of Kenney’s leadership.

Sixty-one per cent of those strongly disapprove. CTV News reached out to both the premier's office and Alberta Health for comment on the protests.

Neither responded to our request.

Mr. Schmidt: I’m exceptionally proud of our government’s record of phasing out coal-fired power. In fact, even though, when we embarked down that road, we were told by power generators that it was impossible, it could never be done, a couple of years later TransAlta and Capital Power . . .

Mr. Jean: We’re paying for it.

Mr. Schmidt: We’re not paying for it. We’re not paying for it.

Mr. Jean: Yes, we are. You haven’t checked your heating bill.

Mr. Schmidt: The Member for Fort . . .

The Acting Speaker: Hon. members, through the chair. The only person with the call right now is the hon. Member for Edmonton-Gold Bar.

Mr. Schmidt: It’s interesting to me, Mr. Speaker, that an actual member of the Harper government is taking issue with a decision that his own government made, and what the member fails to recognize is what additional costs the people of Alberta would have paid if we hadn’t made that decision. He’s laughing because I think he suspects that climate change isn’t real and it doesn’t have actual costs to the people of Alberta, but it does. It will, and it will be borne by his constituents if we – those greenhouse gas emission reductions had to come from somewhere, and they came from the coal-fired power plant. The Member for Fort McMurray-Wood Buffalo – sorry. Not the Member for Fort McMurray-Wood Buffalo. That guy can’t tell his left foot from his right foot most of the time.

Speaker’s Ruling Insulting Language The Acting Speaker: Hon. member, I think that that was a direct insulting attack on an individual member. I’d ask that you withdraw the comment.

[allthecanadianpolitics]

The Alberta government will be providing $1.8 million over three years to Oxford House in Calgary to support pre-treatment programs for addiction recovery.

Mental Health and Addictions Minister Nicholas Milliken announced during a Friday news conference that the money will create 240 additional recovery spaces annually for those looking to access pre-treatment programs.

Pre-treatment programs at Oxford House were developed to address the needs of people who are concerned about their sobriety between detox and treatment. The program also provides people with housing if they’re needing a safe place to stay between treatment dates.

Funding for this program will also alleviate the pressure on police and other services and improve public safety, according to Milliken.

“For many people pursuing recovery from addiction, pre-treatment support will be a critical part of their recovery,” the minister told reporters.

“Imagine you’re someone with a history of drug or alcohol addiction and you’ve made the monumental decision to begin your recovery. You detox, and stop using, but you need help with the next step.

The announcement comes after the province reported last Friday that drug poisoning deaths have once again surpassed the 1,300 mark for a third year in a row. [...]

Friday round-up

Briefly:

NPR’s Throughline podcast looks at “segregation in Detroit public schools and the impact of a Supreme Court case that went far beyond that city” — Milliken v. Bradley, decided 45 years ago this week, which limited courts’ ability to order cross-district busing as a remedy.

At his eponymous blog, Sheldon Nahmod maintains that Knick v. Township of Scott, Pennsylvania, in which the justices overruled a precedent that required property owners to follow state compensation procedures before bringing federal takings claim under the Constitution, “is a game-changer and will likely bring about a revolution in takings litigation.”

At National Review, Jason Richwine observes that Justice Brett Kavanaugh “has hardly been an outlier or a rabble-rouser” during his first term on the Supreme Court.

Also at National Review, John McCormack writes that Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg “spent the week making public appearances and pointedly insisting that she isn’t going anywhere.”

According to Nicholas Geranios at AP, Justice Elena Kagan said yesterday at a Washington state judicial conference that “Supreme Court justices are aware of how decisions made along partisan lines can damage the credibility of the institution.”

We rely on our readers to send us links for our round-up. If you have or know of a recent (published in the last two or three days) article, post, podcast or op-ed relating to the Supreme Court that you’d like us to consider for inclusion in the round-up, please send it to roundup [at] scotusblog.com. Thank you!

Images of Chatham County Wills and Estates

Chatham County was established in 1771 from Orange County, having been named for William Pitt in 1759, the first Earl of Chatham. It was Pitt who served as the British Prime Minister from 1766 to 1768 and opposed harsh colonial policies. The earliest known settlers were Quakers from England who settled along the Haw and Eno rivers. In 1907, parts of Chatham County and Moore County were combined to form Lee County. The county seat is in Pittsboro, North Carolina and Chatham County is part of the Durham-Chapel Hill area.Among the first settlers were the families of Armistead, Alston, Dodd, Kemp, Edwards, Womack, Brewer, Lambeth, Taylor, Fooshee, Waddell, and Patrick.Chatham County Probate Records available to members of North Carolina Pioneers Images of Wills and Estates 1798 to 1819 Alston, James to Phillip

"The Alberta government is providing $4 million in funding to the Calgary Drop-In Centre to establish more pre-treatment beds and a “dynamic overdose response team” for those struggling with addiction.

The funding aims to establish 15 medical detox and 20 pre-treatment beds to support up to 1,000 Calgarians every year, Mental Health and Addictions Minister Nicholas Milliken told reporters Tuesday. These spaces and services will be free for Albertans, he added.

The funding will also help establish a dynamic overdose response team, which aims to “keep communities safe” while treating addiction as a health-care issue.

Local paramedics, first responders and community organizations will be part of this team and will help respond to overdoses at the Drop-In Centre and in the community.

“For many people struggling with addiction, getting into a detox program is one of the first and often the most important steps,” Milliken said at Tuesday’s news conference."

Mr. Schmidt: Now I hear the Minister of Justice raising his voice. I wish that he had raised his voice sometime between the end of June and the end of September, when vaccine passports were in place, because there were 80,000 people who got sick with COVID, and that minister said absolutely nothing.

Mr. Hunter: Calm down. Calm down. Holy smokes.

Mr. Schmidt: I hear the Member for Taber-Warner telling me to calm down. You know what we would like to see, Mr. Speaker?

Mr. Dang: Point of order.

The Acting Speaker: A point of order has been called. I’m surprised, although I am interested in hearing the hon. Member for Edmonton-South. I would also just like to make a comment with regard to tone in the House. I think one of the main jobs of the Speaker is to ensure that we have healthy, effective debate, and if individuals are outright screaming at . . .

Mr. Yao: Point of privilege.

The Acting Speaker: You cannot call a point of privilege in the middle of a point of order. That’s my understanding. So we will deal with the point of order first, and if it is not withdrawn, then we will move to the point of privilege.

Mr. Hunter: Point of order as well.

The Acting Speaker: You cannot call a point of order within a point of order either. What we will do is that we will deal with the point of order, this one. Then we will consider a point of privilege. Then we will consider a point of order.

Mr. Milliken: our government has heard Albertans loud and clear, and we will continue to fight for them. That starts now with condemning Justin Trudeau’s troubling appointment of activist Steven Guilbeault as Canada’s minister of environment. As a professional Greenpeace activist Mr. Guilbeault spent years trying to destroy our energy industry and jobs. He founded the radical activist group Équiterre, which was actually named in the Allan report for organizing campaigns against our oil sands. He was even arrested for his troubles.

Albertans are frustrated by this appointment, which again shows hostility to our province from Ottawa. Thanks to the Allan report, though, we know for certain that there are organized and well-funded campaigns against our energy sector, and now we are facing a hostile federal minister who is not only just okay with it but has actively participated in those attacks. I have very little faith that Mr. Guilbeault can responsibly manage this file or treat Albertans with respect.

The Acting Speaker: Typically I think it is quite naturally the case within the Assembly that a member of the Official Opposition would have an opportunity to speak in similar circumstances. As such, given that by my call I thought that it was pretty much a tie one way or the other with regard to who caught my eye, in this case I will give the opportunity to the Member for Edmonton-Gold Bar to speak.

Mr. Schmidt: I’m speechless, Mr. Speaker. [interjections] The backbenchers in the government caucus can calm themselves. I’m actually not speechless, and I have plenty to say on this matter. It’s just that I am incredibly unused to the chair ruling in my favour, so this is – I’m going to have to write a letter to my mom and just let her know what happened here at work today.

The Deputy Chair: I see the hon. Member for Cardston-Siksika has risen.

Mr. Schow: Thank you, Mr. Chair. Just a point of clarification, am I allowed to speak without a jacket on?

The Deputy Chair: In Committee of the Whole. . .

Mr. Schow: I know I can remove it.

The Deputy Chair: . . . I believe you can.

Mr. Schow: Just for good measure, I’m going to throw it on. It looks better.

The Deputy Chair: It’s a nice jacket.
