"Removing elected leaders they don't like, while making it tougher for us to vote and controlling what our universities can research? If you want to know what a failing democracy and indeed society looks like at the beginning, it looks a lot like Alberta in the Spring of 2024."
"Organize and fight for what's right, for as the famous cultural anthropologist #MargaretMead once said: “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.”
"Our already heavy lift just got heavier which is why none of us can do it alone. I don't know exactly how to counter a wildly careening power ravenous #petrostate during a #climate emergency, I only know that we must. The best of us are stepping up to it. You can too." #abpoli

"The first thing that I would say is, take a breath, take care of yourself, connect with each other. It's exhausting to wake up every day & feel bombarded by new pieces of information about decisions being made that don't represent you, the people and places you love." #abpoli

"...we don't want our #CleanEnergy industry killed & we don't want more #OpenPit mining in our mountains. How do we get ourselves organized? What sorts of things are you seeing on the landscape that our listeners might become a part of & express themselves, get themselves heard?"
"A majority of Albertans don't want a pension grab, they don't want a provincial police force, we don't want municipal political parties, we don't want mayoral city council control, we don't want more money in politics. Nobody wants that except for politicians."
"I'll just tell you in big letters across my whiteboard, it says the word organize and so that's one of the reasons why I'm really glad to have you on the podcast today. You have a great work you're doing with Alberta talks. What can Albertans concerned about #Bill20 do?" #abpoli
"A large number of Albertans are frustrated with this government's policies. It's our right & esponsibility to push back. I really encourage Albertans to raise their voices & push back against decisions being made that don't represent the best interests of Albertans" #abpoli #yyc
"There's an autocratic thrust going on around the world, thinking about America again, a surprising place for that to happen given everything we've been told or our lives about them. Is this government emboldened by what it's seeing in other places right now?"

"#Bill20 represents a significant shift in the balance of power between provincial & municipal governments in Alberta. I personally see it as an attack on democracy, and community autonomy. It's provincial interference with these decisions and I'm concerned"
"Winning municipal campaigns is easier than provincial campaigns. We can get together with Calgarians, have conversations & engage. One of my favorite things about municipal politics. Smaller scale. We can have real community-based conversation enabling forward decision-making"
"What kind of effect do you think #Bill20 has on a city councilor or mayor that's just trying to do the right thing but believes they might run contrary to what this government wants to do? These votes are often close enough as it is." #yyc #yeg #abpoli
"They telegraphed their movements on political parties in municipal elections but the ability to remove specifically #YYC or #YEG's mayor & city counselors if this they don't like what they're doing & of course the ability to strike down policies they don't like was a surprise."
"Overstepping into municipal politics, while at the same time criticizing the federal government and claiming that the federal government is overstepping into provincial politics, just isn't representing the people like you and me and the places that we love." #abpoli #yyc #yeg
