I wonder how much the taxpayers of Taber will appreciate their mayor and council blowing money on legal bills fighting against legal advertising?
And yes, we are fighting this.
And yes, we will win.
No level of government can ban authorized political ads.
Treaty 8 Grand Chief Trevor Mercredi is now saying First Nations have not given “consent” for an Alberta referendum, and may use civil disobedience, including blockades, to stop it.
In plain English, unelected chiefs are claiming they can block the people of Alberta from expressing their democratic will.
Ironically, former Premier Jason Kenney gave Alberta the tool to deal with this.
Bill 1, the Critical Infrastructure Defence Act, was passed by Kenney’s government after years of foreign-funded activist campaigns targeting Alberta’s resource sector, and after illegal blockades were used as a political weapon against highways, railways, pipelines, and major projects.
Kenney is no friend of Alberta independence, but his government understood that critical infrastructure cannot be held hostage by activists trying to shut down Alberta’s economy.
Bill 1 makes it illegal to obstruct or interfere with critical infrastructure, including highways, railways, pipelines, utilities, oil and gas facilities, and other essential infrastructure.
Using illegal blockades to shut down Alberta’s economy and stop Albertans from voting is not.
Peaceful protest is a right.
Block critical infrastructure to stop democracy?
Arrest them.
@RonVoss5@natnewswatch@ANewAlberta So funny that Chief Alan Adam signed the Lukaszuk SEPARATIST petition to have a separatist vote. He was photographed doing it!
Hard to pretend you are against it. Maybe Chief Mercredi didn’t get the memo.
