STOP BILL C-22!
A message from Project Confederation:

Despite the concerns raised by privacy advocates, cybersecurity experts, legal scholars, opposition MPs, and nearly 20,000 Canadians who signed our petition, yesterday the Liberal government rushed Bill C-22 through the committee stage of Parliament.
The Liberals had a choice.
They could have taken more time to consider the concerns that have been raised.
They could have allowed additional debate and scrutiny of a Bill that would dramatically expand government surveillance powers.
They could have listened to the growing number of Canadians speaking out against the legislation.
Instead, they chose to accelerate the process.
And they were only able to do that because they now have the votes.
Before the floor crossings, the Liberals did not have the numbers needed to push controversial legislation through Parliament on their own.
The MPs who crossed the floor handed the government the votes it needed, and Bill C-22 is one of the first major examples of what that means in practice.
Bill C-22 is also one of the most controversial pieces of legislation Parliament has considered in years.
Yet rather than slowing down in the face of growing opposition, the government has chosen to push forward as quickly as possible.
Now the Bill is expected to return to the House of Commons.
That means we are approaching the final opportunity to stop it before it becomes law.
This is where you come in.
If you oppose Bill C-22, now is the time to contact MPs directly.
Tell them nearly 20,000 Canadians have already signed a petition against the Bill.
Tell them Canadians do not support expanding government surveillance powers.
Tell them Canadians do not support rushing legislation of this magnitude through Parliament.
And tell them to vote against Bill C-22 when it comes back before the House.
You can copy and paste the email addresses below directly into your message.
The Prime Minister is included.
The Minister responsible for the Bill is included.
Committee members who studied the legislation are included.
And we have also included the MPs who crossed the floor and provided the government with the votes needed to continue advancing this legislation.
Nearly 20,000 Canadians have already spoken.
Now we need MPs to hear directly from as many of those Canadians as possible.
Send your email today.

According to Brotzel and Crosby courtesy of Rod Bell, Premier Smith is going to announce Danielle bucks this afternoon. I would prefer they save it but the unions would go on a tirade so better money back to Albertans and keep the gas tax as summer is here and the tourists from other provinces can subsidize us for a change. If oil is over the magic number next quarter then lower the gas tax. Thoughts?
BREAKING NEWS - $100.00 per person in household July 1. I am not sure if that is better than gas tax break for majority.

Was listening about Alberta MLA wanting to have re-reimbursement for e-bike or scooter rentals. I thought for sure it was an NDP member (wrongfully thought it was Janis Irwin although could be on committee) but imagine my surprise when it was a Grande Prairie MLA.

An Alberta legislative committee is exploring whether taxpayers should cover the cost of e-bike and e-scooter trips taken by MLAs and caucus staff. The bipartisan committee unanimously passed a motion to investigate corporate agreements with micro-mobility companies like ⁠Bird Canada, ⁠Lime, and Neuron Mobility.Key details regarding the proposal:The Motion: United Conservative backbencher Nolan Dyck pushed for the exploration, citing e-bikes and e-scooters as cheap, fast transit options in cities.Current Status: No decision has been finalized. MLAs currently can only expense taxis, car rentals, and certain airfares.The Obstacle: A legislative report advised against it, as micro-mobility companies generally require riders...
