Anita Anand on confronting the Russian FM at G20: "I condemned all of that Russian action in my comments, looking him straight in the eye today."

The greatest DEI job in Alberta is old conservative white grifter being paid 6-8 figures for running a bullshit committee
Colloquially known in these parts as a “Mintz”

The bill literally prohibits public sector bodies from offering accommodations for disability in the recruitment process, or from training its HR staff that persons with disabilities may require accommodation.

Classic UCP DEI-hire @DanWilliamsAB here thinks judges need to be “depoliticized”.
Dan’s biography notes he likes home schooling & charter schools, dislikes libraries, and worked at a gravel pit before opining on the principle of judicial independence.
Dan makes laws.
It was pleasure to join Canada Strong and Free Network to discuss our country’s judicial system.
Canada’s activist judges need to depoliticize themselves or else be held accountable to the standard an elected official is.

You deserve an Emergency Medicine physician when you need one. Decisions to reform the health care system need to be informed by the physicians on the front lines. Tell your MLA informed reform matters. informedreform.ca/you-deserv…

If the UCP’s standardized report cards are really that superior to what is already in use, I expect that all students in private schools and home schooling will also receive them. 😉

It’s almost as if the governmental legal minds are taking direction directly from Smith for how nonsensical this seems…

Wait a minute - I thought my fundamental Charter rights as an Albertan were suspended by the @Alberta_UCP because the province couldn't afford to properly fund public education in the province. Now you're cutting education taxes?
Repeal Bill 2.

Dani wants to steal our federal benefits just like she does with federal healthcare funding.
Albertans deserve to have the Federal dental program. It costs the UCP nothing, they have no rights to the money .. and we know they won't provide a dental program with it.

Danielle Smith solicited the opinion of Albertans with the recent referendum. Albertans made their preference known, and Danielle still ignores the outcome. So what’s the point of a referendum if Danielle ignores the results?

Merit-based hiring? From the UCP? Are you kidding?
Insecure leaders don’t hire competent people. They hire people who won’t threaten their position.
The UCP has spent years pushing competent people out and replacing them with political loyalists. Now they want to lecture Albertans about hiring the best person for the job?
This is about saving face with a base that has lost confidence in the UCP.
With an AGM looming, court cases mounting and RCMP investigations underway, the Premier needs distractions.
Meanwhile, governing takes a backseat. Affordability, healthcare and the issues affecting Albertans every day are left unaddressed.
This isn’t about competency. It’s about political survival from a government increasingly out of touch.

The best person for the job should get the job. Period.
Today we tabled legislation that would ensure hiring and promotion decisions in the public sector are based on merit, not DEI policies. Mandatory workplace training will be relevant to the roles and responsibilities of the employee, instead of mandatory DEI sessions.
Every Albertan deserves a fair shot, and fairness means everyone competes on the same terms.

Why didn't Danielle Smith and Rajan Sawhney attend the First Ministers meeting with First Nations?
According to Sawhney, it would have been "impossible" for them to attend yesterday and make it back for today's legislative session.
