Alberta's new election bill silences UCP government's critics
As Jason Kenney and the UCP circle the drain of public opinion, they’re making one last desperate attempt to stack the deck in their favour by introducing a law to silence their critics. The law in question is the innocuous-sounding Elections Statutes Amendment Act, or Bill 81. But it should really be called the “Anti-Democracy Gag Law.” Read AFL president Gil McGowan's guest column in the Edmonton Journal:
The UCP’s anti-democracy gag law: Bill 81 explained
Watch: Understanding the UCP's Anti-Democracy Gag Law
Thank you to everyone who joined AFL president Gil McGowan and AFL secretary treasurer Karen Kuprys to discuss Bill 81. A special thanks to our guests, Health Sciences Association of Alberta (HSAA) president Mike Parker and political scientist University of Calgary professor Lisa Young. Watch the recording on YouTube.
