Premier Danielle Smith plans to use the Notwithstanding Clause to force through laws that take away rights from trans Albertans and silence the courts. We know this. And now we have a good sense of timing - next week. 2/4

In the Lethbridge Herald today, April 16, about Turkish Tylenol. Please share. The exorbitant price of Tylenol these days! Here it is, springtime, so I thought I’d go for a swim in that festering cesspool of fiscal irregularity colloquially known as Danielle Smith’s UCP government
