A new bill would give the Alberta government more power over municipalities, including granting cabinet the power to remove councillors from office, and forcing councils to repeal bylaws the province doesn't like. 

Bill 20, the Municipal Affairs Statutes Amendment, was tabled in the legislature Thursday afternoon.

Creators deserve to be compensated according to the value their work has in addition to the time they spent on it.

BioWare (and I suspect the firings actually came from the evil overlord, EA) should have given the employees AT LEAST what the law stipulates. They didn’t even do that! I hope the courts of my original home honour the actual law as well as acknowledging the unique and considerable value their work provided to BioWare.

Slowly the Canadians are realizing just how terrible the Calgary Arena deal will be for them

Two months ago, it was announced that the city of Calgary and the Calgary Flames, their NHL team, had come to an agreement to build a new arena for just the low, low price of $1.22 billion. This comes after last year’s failed arena deal where the Flames decided to pull out of the deal when the city told them that they would need to help pay for additional infrastructure costs. There are three…

hahahahahaha I hate it here.

Danielle Smith: I don’t want young kids to permanently change their bodies!

Danielle Smith: So they won’t be allowed to use puberty blockers, the effects of which are basically entirely reversible, until they’re fifteen, which is well into puberty and often towards the end of puberty for AFAB kids!

Danielle Smith: this makes sense and I am so smart! This will not have the effect of making trans youth even more vulnerable than they already are and that definitely wasn’t my intention.

Mr. Stephan: The Charter was supposed to be a shield against government abusing their power. Ironically, some activist judges have abused their own powers and sought to substitute their own biases and woke views on drug sites, and they are not staying in their lane.

Judges are not elected. They are not accountable to Alberta taxpayers. I would invite these judges to consider the rights of those business owners who have businesses seeking to support their families while they sit in comfort and in their legal ivory towers. I would invite them to consider the collateral consequences of their decisions. What about the rights of business owners, the rights of communities? What about the loss of life savings of those business owners in the proximity of these drug sites? If judges persist in poor judgment, they will lose the respect of the public. Our foundational laws will invite contempt. Mr. Speaker, I do not want to see that. I want to see our institutions trusted and respected. If activist judges fail in their stewardships to serve the public interest and fail to stay in their lane, this government should use the notwithstanding clause to resist the abuse of activist judges.

The funniest thing on Wikipedia is the timeline for the legalization of gay marriage, because the rest of the world is coloured in terms of individual countries but North America has separate dates for every Canadian province, US State, and Mexican State.

If you live in Alberta and are under 18, this is your warning: Danielle Smith is implementing her new anti-trans legislation this year.

The most important part of this is this: Your parents will be notified if you ask to change your name or pronouns, and you will need consent to do so if you are under 16.

There's a few other stuff in there, including restricted medical transitions and trans women in sports, but this will directly affect the youth.

This link will lead you to a website that will let you submit an email to her, and I encourage you to do so. The more clogged up her inbox is, the less she'll be able to just delete them and move on.

Stay safe y'all, and be careful. The Conservative party has a huge grip on Alberta right now.

Oh, and the most important part: Go fuck the government

what the fuck why are they banning all phones and headphones in class
