Equally distressing is how much of a free pass they get from the press when using it is tantamount to an admission that they are knowingly violating the rights of citizens.

This seems like a good time to remind everyone that not only is the majority of our local media (
National Post, Calgary Herald, Calgary Sun, Edmonton Journal, Edmonton Sun, Airdrie Echo, Cochrane Times, and 40 more Alberta publications) is owned by Postmedia.
Postmedia is not just conservative, it is American and Republican owned. At this point in time Albertans should be viewing all of these "newspapers" as hostile foriegn propaganda. They will gloss over everything that the UCP is doing and help them with their agenda.
Convince your friends and family to get off of these rags (Boycott America) and start supporting local news coverage that will actually report on corruption and scandal.
