That's why I wrote this piece. 🔗jaredwesley.ca/newsletter

It isn't a political scientist's place to call balls and strikes, telling folks what is good or bad, or who is good or evil. That's what pundits do.

It's the role of political scientists with privilege, tenure, and safety to speak out when the integrity of the game is at stake.+

Ladies. You need to get loud.

Enough is enough of this Christomoronic backslide to the dark ages.

Poilievre is blaming safe supply policies for all of BC’s drug overdose deaths.

How does he explain the record-high number of those deaths in Alberta, which has the very policies and approach he says he’d implement as PM?

So even in reversing policy, the UCP continues its war against Edmonton and Calgary like in Bills 18 and 20. This is about centralizing control at the provincial level and punishing Edmonton and Calgary for electing the wrong people.

However, there was no apology like Ralph Klein would have done. Instead, Jason Nixon continues to blame the cities

Reposting this with Jennie's correct handle. The last story my long-time investigative partner Jennie Russell and I did for Alberta Views is a finalist for a National Magazine Award. Thank you to editor Evan Osenton and all the EMS staff from HSAA - Union of Health-Care Professionals who spoke to us.

So the UCP prevents cities from generating revenue outside of property taxes, takes $ from property taxes, won't allow cities to access federal $ without UCP permission, and then blames them for not adequately funding services.

'As a direct result'

Um, no. Not even remotely close.

Could we *please* have a serious conversation about this issue? The people and families impacted by it deserve that much.

“If something embarrassing happens, the government’s reflex is more secrecy, so that it doesn’t get caught next time.” #ABPoli #ABLeg

So…

The minister didn’t read the fine print on programs getting cut, and because of that low income transit passes we on the chopping block for 24 hours.

Totally on brand for the Tylenot™️ government.

I understand that media feels the need to do clickbait like this, but it should at least clarify that the *vast* majority of the capital gains here are shielded because this was his principal residence.

The point should be to inform people, not make them angry.

Ric McIver, the UCP’s preeminent ethics violating, anti-women’s rights marching MLA is now going to “work with municipalities to amend Bill 20”

Ric - your ENTRE job depends on you “working with” Albertans; the fact you’re just realizing this after 20 years is damning.

If Craig Chandler likes something, there is a good chance it's anti-democratic and/or fascist in nature

This is no exception 👇

Canadian universities defend banning pro-Palestinian encampments: “We want our students to study genocide, not actually do anything about it”

Another lie Danielle Smith told to get elected:

'We will invest in food banks and expand low income transit passes to ensure every Albertan has access to food and mobility for their families.'

Another one bites the dust. When will Danielle Smith realize that doctors do not want to stay in Alberta under her rule?
