The Alberta government has introduced legislation that would require provincial entities such as universities, school boards and municipalities to get approval before making any funding deals with Ottawa. Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says the legislation would ensure federal funding is aligned with provincial priorities.

      A federal level party… expanding into other provinces? What good would that do against a provincial party? The CAQ is the provincial party of Quebec. And it’s complete shit.

    So… this is an effort to punish any school districts that try and defend trans rights. Alberta premiere continues to be a transparently shit person.

      Maybe she’s trying to clinch the name on the landfill that we tried to name “Gweilo Harper Supper and Dance Club”

      As someone educated in the Alberta School board system, up to the crash in the '80s, the difference is stark and sad.

      It’s not much worse than other provinces I’ve seen (BC and ON), but they’ve falled so far under the cons that it’s almost heartbreaking.

    Teachers: “We need money for schools”
    Alberta: “Only if you teach what we want you to teach”
    Canada: “We’ll give you money”
    Alberta: “I SAID ONLY IF YOU TEACH WHAT WE WANT”

    You know, for someone who makes hay hating trans people she’s certainly enthusiastically transitioning into Ron DeSantis.

    More absolutely shit, unnecessarily argumentative policy from an absolutely shit, unnecessarily argumentative asshole of a premier.
