ALBERTA NDP RELEASES NUMBER OF ELIGIBLE VOTERS IN LEADERSHIP RACE

85,144 members will be eligible to vote...
Amanda Freistadt, Chief Returning Officer for the Alberta NDP Leadership Race announced Sunday that 85,144 members will be eligible to vote for a new Alberta NDP leader.

“This leadership race is an historic moment for the Alberta NDP. Voters from all walks of life and all regions of the province joined the Alberta NDP because they are excited to support our party in forming the next government,” said Freistadt.

Eligible voters are required to have been members in good standing by the membership sales deadline of April 22. The leadership race was initiated in January when Rachel Notley announced she would step down when a new leader is selected, after a decade as the party’s leader. Shortly after, the party’s provincial council set the rules and timelines for the race.

An independent voting company will conduct the election on behalf of the party. The winner will be determined by a ranked choice ballot.

Ballots and voting information will be mailed to members via Canada Post at the end of May. Voting members will have the option to vote online, by telephone, or by returning their ballot through Canada Post to the voting company. Voting opens June 3 and all ballots must be received by June 22 at 12 PM. The party will announce the new leader at the Hyatt Regency Suites in Calgary on the afternoon of June 22.

Bruce Pardy: Notwithstanding the Charter, Neither Legislatures nor Courts Protect Individual Liberties in Canada

In September, the federal government urged the Supreme Court of Canada to protect rights by limiting the use of the Charter’s “notwithstanding clause.” Two days later, it introduced Bill C-9, the “Combatting Hate Act,” which will infringe upon free speech. The bill does not invoke the notwithstanding clause. It does not need to. The Supreme Court has already done the dirty work by declaring, years ago, that prohibiting “hate speech” is constitutional.

In Canada, who protects individual liberties? Not legislatures. Not courts.

The notwithstanding clause is Section 33 of the Charter. It allows provincial legislatures and Parliament to pass laws that might infringe the rights in Sections 2 and 7 to 15. Invoking the clause prevents courts from striking down the statute as unconstitutional. Activists have long sought to discredit and delegitimize the ...

Mamdani is certainly bad for NYC, but big picture, he might be the best thing possible for Trump/MAGA.

Why? Mamdani is going to give Trump the necessary optics to justify going into NYC and other cities with NG/ICE.

Mamdani personifies the most radical elements of the Left. He is essentially a walking proof that Trump is right about the Democrats and their party’s trajectory.

Mamdani is going to be a walking red-pill machine. He is going to give Trump all the headlines and talking points to justify Trump’s ultimate goal, which is deploying NG/ICE, deporting the illegals, passing voter ID, arresting the treasonous coup-plotters, and saving the Republic.

Mamdani is a gift to Trump and MAGA.
