Strengthening Alberta's Bill of Rights: What Does It All Mean? On August 13, 2024, CBC News reported that Premier Danielle Smith intends to strengthen the Alberta Bill of Rights as soon as this fall, just prior to the UCP's annual general meeting. A group identifying themselves as the “Black Hat Gang” from Premier Smith's own riding of Brooks-Medicine Hat has allegedly met with government officials and proposed that a new draft of the Bill of Rights be presented to the legislature. This new draft may include changes addressing issues ranging from medical care to self-defence. https://www.albertacounselnews.com/thenews/14vjc58e1yn9mt9fiiwpwq5v42pyyf Defending Alberta's provincial priorities...

Ryan runs through what pundits and the general public is saying the morning after the by-election.  41:15 | Municipal politicians are closest to their constituents by far.

LEARN MORE ABOUT EPSG: https://epsg.ca/ LIFE SHOULDN'T HURT: https://leadingedgephysio.com/ 1:17:43 | "I want more parties and choices on the ballot. Reducing those choices does not help democracy in my opinion. If the ABP want a seat, they should have to win the most votes legitimately, not with the help of other parties."
