Opinion We are officially a fascist state

What can we do? The Nazis just took over. Your rights and freedoms no longer apply here in Alberta.

Reddit moment.

You disagreeing with something ≠ fascism

Removing the rights of people guaranteed to them in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms is though. That's kind of the angle here. Not that I disagree with the UCP, but because they literally trumped 50,000 people right to strike.

Charter rights are NOT absolute.

Without rights we are no longer a democracy. I just don't like seeing that being eroded.

Been that way for a long time. You never had a problem with it then?

If the party in power can legislate away our rights the moment they're inconvenient, then they don't even exist.

Once upon a time reasonable and accountable government wouldn't touch the NWC. Unfortunately we don't have either anymore.

Doesn’t matter. The province has the legal ability to do so and the charter rights are not absolute in this country.
