The UCP continues its open siege of Alberta's government system. I'm not the first to say so, and I've said it before, Canada faces an unprecedented threat to its democracy due to the lack of regulation on the Politicians. Canadians, don't look away at what's happening in Alberta. Our system of checks and balances between the three branches of government is under attack. Once one branch fails, the others fail together.

The UCP has been captured. Canada has no formal check on the unbridled power of a renegade political party. Operation Total Recall is not just a union movement for fair wages and working conditions, but one to protect the democracy we have left. This is not business as usual. We are facing exactly the egregious, unethical conduct that even Kenney claims the Recall mechanism was intended for.

The UCP has attempted to silence the Justice system, disarmed Elections Alberta and the Ethics Commissioner, and has essentially removed any check on its own power.

We have to understand that the UCP has literally taken the mask off to reveal the dictator within.

And I thought that's literally what the function of the courts are.
