So danny is lying about something again? And hiding it, or trying to. An unsigned letter about edmonton council that she referenced but apparently isnt visible to anyone else.
She really is a giant turd.
"While the UCP government may not be targeting tri-council grants specifically, they are firing a shot at the province's universities, warning them that they will be expected to show 'ideological balance,'" Usher wrote on his website.
"God knows what this will mean in practice, but my take would be that it will be low-level skirmishing and attempts at micro-management for the rest of the UCP's term of office, combined with attempts to [wage] culture war [over] odd-sounding research projects in what the right likes to call 'grievance studies.'"
The premier's recent rhetoric doesn't make it clear she knows what it will mean in practice, either. The Bill 18 debate seems to have become the jumping-off point, perhaps due to a combination of fluke and expansively written legislation.
Now the premier has been thinking about it, and finding articles to read. So an entire sector will be left to wait, wonder and worry.
WTF does "ideological balance" even mean? Does that mean every ideology must be funded to a basic level? Naziism too? What, exactly, is she even taking issue with? She's so ####ing dumb she doesn't even know why she is raging, but Trudeau did something, so it must be worth going nuclear for.

It's like saying we should be looking to science and the bible equally to explain the universe.

When Government starts to dictate the outcome of university research, you're in deep trouble.
I don't believe it for a second. The moderates in the UCP don't have the cajones to put people before party.
It may actually be a lack of cajones and party-before-people causing it. The threat a Nenshi-led, more clearly centrist NDP poses against a hard right ideological UCP isn’t something to be ignored.
They may see their best chance of survival being elsewhere.
I'm not saying that there is going to be, but if people did cross the floor, it wouldn't be to the NDP. it would be either a new conservative party, or the Alberta party.
