Let’s not forget the overt and implicit anti Indigenous racism. From our court of appeal Factum:
Danielle Smith is brilliant at propaganda and the conditioned reflexes for AI data centres are: closed loop (ever seen a design? Or an assessment of one? You use instagram! (Hyperscalers are not for insta) Did I miss any?
Fascism doesn’t happen without willing lawyers to enable or implement the laws. Silence is complicity. I wrote about this in the @cba-news.bsky.social nationalmagazine.ca/en-ca/articl...
Read more about hypocritical government imposing an oath of allegiance to the King on racialized lawyers snd First Nation lawyers while they enable a separatist referendum that would break entirely from the Crown. Have the separatist lawyers and the UCP MLAs breached THEIR oath?
Someone ought to remind her of her own words and how her giverbnenr lawyers are actively fighting to supress racialized lawyers righrs ro freedom of expression nationalmagazine.ca/en-ca/articl...
Good to see. Less good? If csis has no power to stop this, and rcmp can only go in if criminal, what is the federal government doing to counter sophisticated information campaigns that are happening? Read more in Sturgeon’s reports from Wesley Wark, linked below
Last month I wrote about this threat to the rule of law… this is a glimmer of light for us. (4) nationalmagazine.ca/en-ca/articl...
And it couldn’t come at a better time for Alberta. Look at Bill 2. The province didn’t only use the NWC. They also cut off ANY judicial remedy for teachers. Which was the most shocking bit of bill 2 From my blog then(3): www.okellylaw.ca/blog/overrid...
Getting lotssss of questions about Democracy Watch case. Even on Facebook! As a nerd of judicial review and lover of the rule of law, it’s music to my ears. We owe a depth of gratitude to Democracy Watch, @pauldalyesq.bsky.social and Duff Connacher. 🙏 Some key excerpts (1)
I knew Edmonton would not disappoint but…… #fascistpancakes bsky.app/profile/theb...
Lest we forget that the seppies were using Centurion. Just a week before it was reported to Elections Alberta.
Where are you @eleanorolszewski.bsky.social @coreyhogan.ca @mark-carney.bsky.social This requires an environmental impact assessment and a foreign investment review. Now. What happened to elbows up? Fossil fuel and tech bros winning just like in Trump land #ableg
Why are you interfering with an exhibit on Palestinian history? @mark-carney.bsky.social
I wrote about this double standard. Let’s audit First Nations for money we don’t give them while ignoring RCMP producing orders for our own procurement scandal. Get real Danielle. #ableg nationalmagazine.ca/en-ca/articl...
So is the CPC a separatist party too? #ableg Proceed as if this is a nothing referendum and that the results matter at our peril
Where is the news? I can only imagine if the shoe was on the other foot. This is entirely grotesque #ableg #yeg @cbcnews.ca @theglobeandmail.com @globalnews.ca @edmontonjournal.com
