Premier Smith once again wins the C&C “hero of the week” award

"Canada is divided into ten provinces, like states, and three territories, like regions, each with its own local government. Each province has a Premier, similar to a U.S. governor. Danielle Smith is the Premier of Alberta Province, which is the closest thing to a Florida that Canada has.

"Smith was the first pandemic Premier to reject vaccine and mask mandates and move toward a return to normalcy. Now she’s proposed a set of new laws to protect free speech from insane regulations on “misinformation.” In particular, Smith is aiming at professional regulations for doctors and lawyers, which she agreed were important to maintain quality, but professionals’ personal opinions should not be regulated. Healthcare workers shouldn’t be punished for political comments."https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/trumps-october-surprise-friday-october

I pass by if they are a civil servant or don't know the responsibility of the different levels of government. This is Red Deer. I have been waffling on Mayor but have finally made up my mind. Two former city Councillors are HELL NO's and hope to see their asses in rear view mirror.

Tamara Lich and Chris Barber got 12 months of house arrest today for “mischief.”
Not violence.
Not property damage.
Mischief.

Peaceful Canadians—criminalised for daring to speak out. The same justice system that drops charges for real crimes and lets violent offenders walk free spent three years trying to break two people who stood for freedom.
The Crown had outrageously demanded seven years in jail to make an example out of them.

Why?
To warn you.
To scare anyone who might ever peacefully defy the state again.

Even the judge admitted Chris Barber “came with the noblest of intent” and never called for violence.

But it didn’t matter. They needed bogeymen.

We remember all the others:
Maxime Bernier was handcuffed in Manitoba for speaking at a peaceful rally.
Mark Friesen was fined thousands for organizing gatherings.
Randy Hillier saw convoy charges stayed after years of harassment.
