Any Freedum Convoy tard should be up in arms right now that people have lost their rights. Any regular person who is "too busy to keep up on the issues" should be waking up right now to see their government cross a line that shouldn't be crossed. Any self-proclaimed progressive should be putting on their jacket and boots to get ready to take action and blaze the trail for others to join in.

Yes, it looks like it is going to be hard work to recall any one of these people. It will be even harder work to recall 7 or 8 of them. But the reward for trying is that we could topple a corrupt and evil government and show that democracy is worth fighting for. Bonus points, we can show the country that Albertans are not all conservative lapdogs who will roll over for any party wearing blue.

Otherwise you are already living in the fascist state.
That’s an interesting take on the convey people (calling them tards I guess is ok). The hypocrisy makes me smile. When the convey people called the vaccine mandatory virtually everyone here fiercely denied it. When they said “I’ll lose my job, my kid can’t go to daycare, and I can’t travel” the universal response was it was still a choice and not mandatory.

No teachers have lost any rights. Nothing is stopping them from staying on strike. If they disagree and are principled they should stay on strike. As far as a fascist state, the constitution was negotiated by elected premiers. They put in a notwithstanding clause in the constitution. This clause can and has been used for labour disputes. The UCP was democratically elected and in negotiating with a union used all the tools in their democratically obtained toolbox. No ones rights have been trampled. Take your 12% raise and be happy, or stay on strike, or move.
