#EmergencyManagement rules that you should challenge. “Communicate Only When You Have Complete Information”: While it’s important to provide accurate information, sometimes it’s better to communicate what you do know in a timely manner than to wait for full details. #YYC

The bombing of Air India Flight 182 shook our country to its core. The deadliest terrorist attack in Canada's history, the bombing killed all 329 people on board – including 280 Canadians. Today, we pause to remember them and all those whose lives were taken in acts of terror.

These arguments were old 20yrs ago. No your kid doesn't need parental consent to take Tylenol, but rather for school 2 administer a drug to your child.
I know you're too ham-fisted to understand the difference, but your position endangers children and teens in their own homes

Minister Austin noted how parental consent is required for his 17 year old son to take a field trip and Tylenol.
But his 7 year old daughter could change her name and gender with school being required to keep it secret from him.
That's why we've made the necessary changes… Show more

It's worse than that.
This is the AG of Alberta lying about the contents of a report of the Ethics Commissioner dealing with the constitutional role of the AG.
This is a govt & Minister that has no respect for the constitution.
Unfortunately that is not a surprise. #ableg

Wait a sec. A lawyer calls another lawyer a liar with no basis. Are we about to have our third Justice Minister in a row with a law society complaint? (To be fair, I don’t know if the law society investigated Madu after the damming report from Justice Kent) twitter.com/RishiKNagar/st…

I remember working in the legislature and briefing my Minister on a random guy who wore a colander on his head for a drivers license photo. The idea that one of Canada’s most infamous would soon be in the news and you don’t tell your minister is wild to me.
