Alberta's Ministry of Education says it is blacklisting CityNews unless it agrees to the UCP government's demand to unpublish a news article and publicly apologize to them

Well that really should have been a Canadian flag. Nobody travels the world with an Alberta patch front and centre on their bag. Just lame losers.

How about not raising the flag of a foreign country at all when visiting the highest point of Africa? I know lots of people do it, but it's super gross.

Fair point. The history of "planting a flag" to claim a thing has a long tradition.

Yup. No foreign visitor should be planting their flag at the summit of Kilimanjaro. It belongs to the people of Tanzania.

So when are we finding out about how we can blame our troubles on immigrants?
Will there be some sort of report-an-immigrant hotline setup?
I would like to participate in improving my community.

While I think it's a bit ridiculous to ban them until an apology is made, I do think the article was a bit of poor taste, considering the reasoning.
That being said, one could also make an argument asking why he hiked the mountain for his sister but then made a political statement with the raising of the Alberta flag.

I dont think he did himself any favors by bringing the extra attention to an article few people probably saw to begin with. All he did was get more attention for it. And further revealed his level of petty.

Nothing like spending the summer sowing division and driving endless news stories and commentary subtly wrapped in bigotry. What a ####ing ####.

Semi-serious question, how would one go about actually educating a large proportion of our populace about what the province is responsible for, what the feds are responsible for, what the Provincial government asked and advertised for and what the effects of that request was?
There has to be a solution to the idiotic FaceBook echo chambers feeding lies and bull#### to the populace.

How exactly is Alberta going to control immigration? I have some pretty hard core right relatives who will undoubtedly vote yes to all of these.

Easy, they're going to sow division and get everyone riled up then start slashing public funding to education, healthcare, environmental causes, supports for the disenfranchised then give out a ton of sole source contracts, tax breaks, cushy made up positions, then travel around accepting gifts, vacations, tickets and then...wait what are we talking about, OH YA THE LIBERALS CAUSED OUR BUDGET TO NOT BALANCE.
And boom, whatever you were talking about is solved and we will be taking no further questions on the matter.
