Every once in a too-long while, someone in a position of power in my home province is overcome by a sense of common decency & makes the right decision.

via Alberta Law Foundation:
Bill 39 should be a wake-up call for Alberta’s legal community.It proposes adding political control over major grants, and cuts funding for Legal Aid—push the burden to the Alberta Law Foundation.This isn’t about efficiencies. It’s about who decides how legal services are funded, and who gets left out when those decisions are politicized.We have a responsibility to speak out.Contact your MLA: action.albertalawfoundation.org

Wow. 😳😳😳 Field Law represented the first years of my case against the public school board that fired me for being #trans.
I felt they did a good job, so I am inferring that this guy never came close to my case.

If folks can spare some money, turns out the city of Edmonton is seeking costs if the case against them clearing encampments favours their actions:

See? The blue govt CAN change a name without much outrage or consultation. I made this point years ago about changing the QEII. #ABLaw #ABPoli https://edmontonjournal.com/news/crime/so-long-provincial-court-lower-trial-court-to-become-alberta-court-of-justice-april-1
The #LSA vote has finally finished, and the ridiculous motion to repeal Rule 67.4 (regarding mandatory continuing professional development) has been soundly defeated: 25% in favour of repealing, 75% against. Common sense has prevailed, but the numbers are still alarming. #LawFedi #FediLaw #ablaw #abpoli
It is really hard to listen to some of these speakers. It is clear that some of the petitioners learned nothing from The Path. "We took the course, it's done, we don't need the rule anymore, and this training has no impact on our daily lives or the management of our offices and practices."
This is EXACTLY why we need this rule. #FediLaw #LawFedi #ablaw #abpoli

Ugh - seriously, Law Society of Alberta? You're going to make an issue out of taking a course designed to help your members better understand indigenous issues with the law?
Danielle Smith needs to be immediately removed from her position as Premier by her cabinet and MLAs. Whoever lied in the Crown Prosecutor's Office needs to be fired for cause.
Alberta premier's office contacted Crown prosecution about Coutts cases: sources
https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/alberta-premier-office-emails-prosecutors-coutts-1.6719743
So it appears that not only did the Premier lie about NOT contacting the Crown Prosecutor's office, but the Crown Prosecutor's office lied about not being contacted by the Premier.
Imagine if this lawsuit had been brought in Alberta, where there is no anti-SLAPP legislation.

9 had a bunch of legal questions tonight. He's a deep thinker and asks astute, thoughtful questions. But the end of the conversation took a turn I didn't expect:
9: I think I'd make a good lawyer mommy...
Me: You would
9: ...But not like you. A real lawyer who does court & evidence & stuff.
😵💫🤦♀️😆
