They obviously didn't like the results lol.

Need some time to figure out how to twist it or find new weird wording for subsequent surveys.

Deplorable ####s.

Lol, yup. The results are very likely the polar opposite of what they wanted, so they’re scared to release them. Bunch of cowardly losers.

Province refuses to release early results of its Alberta Next surveys

Postmedia sought responses from the public to questions in the Alberta Next survey on a provincial pension plan and denying provincial programs to non-citizens

In letters emailed Wednesday, the provincial government stated it is declining to release any of the records.

Executive council has decided to refuse access to all of the records you requested,” the letters all state, citing a part of#the#Access to Information Act which allows the withholding of records deemed to be advice to officials.

“Information, including the proposed plans, policies or projects of a public body, the disclosure of which could reasonably be expected to result in disclosure of a pending policy or budgetary decision,” the portion of the act describing the exemption states

The following section#of the act, which#came into force on June 11, states the above exemption does not apply to information that is a statistical survey.

The good news is the way the questions were worded that survey was not statistical in nature. Sweet sweet loop holes

Alberta is appealing a temporary injunction of a law banning doctors from providing gender-affirming care to youth.

A judge granted the injunction in June, ruling the provincial law raises serious Charter issues that need to be hashed out in an ongoing court challenge of the legislation.

Court of King's Bench Justice Allison Kuntz said the law is likely to cause irreparable harm to gender-diverse youth and she didn't find the contrary evidence submitted by the province to be overwhelming.

The government, in an appeal filed to the Calgary court last month, argues the injunction was premature, since it wasn't fully in effect.

It also claims the judge made a mistake and "mixed fact and law" in deciding the legislation would cause irreparable harm.

Why do they hate their citizens so much? Who are they doing this for? The freedom brigade sure shuts the #### up quickly when it's the rights of those who give them the skeevies are being taken away. Aren't we the free-est ####ing province on Earth? WTF man, this doesn't seem at all like freedom, having a government fighting the court to take rights away from it's own citizens.
