I am hoping that Alberta recognizes the jeopardy the UCP government is putting us all in. youtu.be/1srpv-gapjo?si…
Well, yes, Premier, we are trying to overthrow you. youtu.be/K-QD-Y7WWSA?si…

@ABDanielleSmith Premier Smith, criminal defence lawyers are concerned about your use of s. 33. Please reconsider your use of this legislation. albertactla.com/2025/11/05/alb…
@ABDanielleSmith Jail sentences do not protect our children. By the time the situation gets to sentencing, the crime has already happened.
@billzinga Entertainment before work. That must be tough.
This has been a long time coming. Thank you to all the defence lawyers who held the line. Our work isn't done yet with the issues with Legal Aid Alberta, but let's take a moment and celebrate this victory.
@shandro @ABDanielleSmith Things are piling up.
@MLAIrfanSabir @LegalAidAlberta @ABDanielleSmith The micro problem: people can't get lawyers, Legal Aid is putting family lawyers into criminal docket courts where they don't know what they're doing, and sex assault trials are being adjourned because complainants (not alleged criminals, alleged victims) can't get counsel.
@shandro @ABDanielleSmith A storm is coming.
So in 18 months (or less) we will see charges being stayed because the government refused to fund @LegalAidAlberta properly. Meanwhile, accused people remain in custody. It’s unacceptable and costly. Let the government know that. Write to your MLA. @CDLACalgary @AlbertaCTLA
@shandro @ABDanielleSmith Do both of you not understand how the rule of law works, or are you just lying outright to Albertans now? Alberta taking over firearms prosecutions in pushback against federal gun ban cbc.ca/news/canada/ed…
@Littlebuzzybee1 @MLAIrfanSabir @RachelNotley @LegalAidAlberta 1. Complainants in sexual assault trials where a 276 application is made get lawyers. 2. Family lawyers also deal with child custody and welfare. What else you got?
@shandro @ABDanielleSmith no response at all?
@shandro If you think there are no problems with Legal Aid, why take credit for increasing the tariff? If there are no problems, why did anything have to happen at all? Your actions betray your words.
@madaboutbeer @RachelNotley @LegalAidAlberta Did we not hear earlier this year that the GoA has a multibillion surplus? Legal Aid only needs less than $50 million to get the situation. The math says no deficit.
@trishathafisha @MLAIrfanSabir @RachelNotley @LegalAidAlberta He posted a video where the minister did not tell the truth in session. Anyone can made a bald-faced denial. We have the facts that the minister is wrong.
