Alberta Politics & Government Thread 3.0

[Fuzz]

Ya, it'd be a real shame if AI crafted legislation that included violating the rights of citizens on the regular. There would be outrage.


The reality is you are gonna feed it requirements for legislation, it'll spit out a bunch of stuff a first year legal clerk could do, and lawyers will have to review the #### out of it and edit it. But they'll be able to bandy about saying it's the first AI legislation and we saved so much money(it will cost more).

The "funded by foreign actors" bit is quite hilarious given the recent X revelations.

Back to the old 'every criticism of these conservatives is a projection' bit

What is great about this is that it could start to demonstrate that we could lay off all of the elected officials and just have AI become the representative of the people. Unlike the UCP, AI would actually listen to us.....

Put an app on everyone's phone and poll the population when big questions come up. Otherwise, AI can just quietly run the government as efficiently as possible by working with the services instead of trying to undermine them at every step.

Techno-populism + Direct-Democracy.

Think of the money we would save by not paying for the MLA salaries and pensions!!!

Like a broken clock, I see no problem with this.

At the end of the day the era of AI first drafting everything is here and should be done. But for them to say there isn't human review would be for the MLAs to admit they they don't read what they are voting on, so they are still accountable to review and understand what is written.

We didn't use the NWC! It was the AI!

Tabled today Bill 11 — the Health Statutes Amendment Act 2025, was tabled in the legislature on Monday. The bill proposes a number of changes to existing pieces of legislation that if passed would advance the province’s refocusing of the health-care system, make the province the “payor of last resort” for drug coverage, ensure Albertans have to renew health cards, make changes to food safety, and broaden the eligibility criteria for a chief medical officer of health.

Sounds like I will have to renew my health card number? And there might be a fee associated with that? I know it’s early to say what exactly they are pushing but that is what it sounds like to me. The party of low taxes and red tape reduction for businesses. For the poors, more red tape and more taxes.

So basically means we'll all be paying more for our employee health plans etc.
