Danielle Smith says Alberta will withhold funding for judges without more input on selection
Premier Smith’s claims that Alberta has no say in the selection of judges is false. She’s basically got a hatchet, and she’s pummelling the Justice System with it.
https://www.justice.gc.ca/eng/csj-sjc/ccs-ajc/05.html
https://albertacourts.ca/cj/about-the-court/judicial-information/judicial-appointments
Premier Smith has a background in legacy media, and may be trying to steer the news cycle away from recent reports suggesting that her decisions are killing Albertans in hospitals due to her policy choices, and that she’s been attacking the healthcare system at the expense of society. Without going into the CorruptCare contracts that involve Sam Mraiche, the Premier’s life is messy, and complicated.

Smith’s Been Attacking the Justice System For A While Now
1
Smith’s been consolidating power into the UCP and herself, and her attacks on the justice system are not limited to judges. The UCP’s interfered with courts to cover up for AIMCo.
https://kopitalk.net/c/alberta/p/93282/alberta-tries-to-legislate-ban-on-lawsuits-about-aimco-losses
2
She’s run legislation to get ahead of court decisions on Alberta’s Citizen Initiative Act
https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/alberta-judge-proposed-referendum-unconstitutional-9.7004982
3
Danielle’s UCP consolidated power into how Justice System adjacent support services are run and funded by sacking the Alberta Law Foundation Board members. However one characterizes the way in which the board members left, the ultimate result is still a ransacking.
https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/law-foundation-staff-resignations-9.7049236
4
The UCP may appear too involved (despite statements to the contrary) with the terminations of two career Crown prosecutors, attacking the appearance of an independent prosecution service.
5
The UCP have invoked the Notwithstanding Clause repeatedly to avoid legitimate Charter challenges.
6
Smith directly voiced support for EPS Chief Warren Driechel when the Chief penned a letter to news media to interfere with the Crown Prosecution’s file. At that moment, the EPS interfered with the Judicial Independence of the court, and the independence of the Crown who has complete decision-making authority over their file.
You see, police serve an important role to enforce the laws. They wear different hats at different times, and as far as courts are concerned they can be public office holders when they decide when and whom to target for investigation and arrest (which makes the news some times for bad reasons), and they’re agents of the state under different roles. Police also enjoy their own independence, subject to their own boards which tie them back to the community (ideally).
When Kaycee Madu controversially reached out to former EPS Chief McFee, Madu obviously crossed red lines for police independence.
When Smith voiced support for the EPS letter, she interfered with the independence of all three justice system participants. But, bizarrely, since she has a history of being a mercenary and a media personality, Smith wasn’t subjected to review (yet) or any discipline. EPS Chief Driechel though, should be subject to review and potential discipline because he should know better. Similarly, EPS lawyer Megan Hankewich, also in a position to know better, and should be subjected to a review.

Alberta teachers’ union files labour complaint, alleges province engaged in ‘bad-faith bargaining’
The UCP used the Notwithstanding Clause to take away teachers rights to negotiate for better working conditions, and to enable them to negotiate in bad faith.
I think this bad faith is similar to the UCP’s use of legislation to punch a hole in Canadian retirement funds when AIMCo gambled away around $1.3 Bln. Links below.
Jason Schilling, the president of the ATA, said at a news conference on Friday that he believes the government is attempting to “rewrite its own commitments,” and that the ATA wants clarification on what was agreed to at the bargaining table regarding the plan to bring in additional teachers.
“What was told at the bargaining table and then was commented afterwards, it seemed to be two different things and we need clarity on them,” he said.
“What will come out of the complaint is hopefully that we hold the government [accountable] for what they said.”
…
In the ATA’s recent email to its members, it said the “ATA understood — and TEBA’s bargaining conduct implied — that these 3,000 teachers were additional to the staffing already funded and announced in Budget 2025.”
Schilling said the government “insists” that the phrase “net new” meant any increase in teachers over the prior year, even if those positions were already funded by Budget 2025.
“If that was their interpretation, then nothing was new at all,” he said.
“The 3,000 teachers they pointed to during the bargaining were already announced, already budgeted and already counted in the 2025 budget.”

“What will come out of the complaint is hopefully that we hold the government [accountable] for what they said.”
…
In the ATA’s recent email to its members, it said the “ATA understood — and TEBA’s bargaining conduct implied — that these 3,000 teachers were additional to the staffing already funded and announced in Budget 2025.”
Schilling said the government “insists” that the phrase “net new” meant any increase in teachers over the prior year, even if those positions were already funded by Budget 2025.
“If that was their interpretation, then nothing was new at all,” he said.
“The 3,000 teachers they pointed to during the bargaining were already announced, already budgeted and already counted in the 2025 budget.”

Alberta legislature passes bill invoking Charter override for fourth time
Speaking to the bill earlier in the evening, NDP critic Kathleen Ganley called it “offensive to the rule of law and to our entire democracy” to use the overarching power of the notwithstanding clause on transgender youth who are “already at a higher risk of suicide.”
“It was put in the Constitution to be used judiciously, to be used rarely, to be used only in exceptional circumstances,” Ganley told the house.
“I don’t think anyone ever envisioned the possibility it might be used four times in a month by a government.”
…
The Canadian Medical Association has challenged the law in court, saying it violates a doctor’s right to freedom of conscience.
The Alberta Medical Association has repeatedly said puberty blockers do not render a person infertile or sterile and protect transgender children from more permanent changes that come with puberty.
Some families of transgender kids involved in a separate lawsuit that challenged the health-care restrictions have said their kids will be devastated once the law comes into effect, and some have said they will need to leave the province for the safety of their child.

98% of AUPE nursing care staff vote in favour of strike
AUPE says talks with its employer, Alberta Health Services and the four organizations that replaced the former provincial health authority, broke down in April. Bargaining between the sides are set to resume Thursday for mediation.
The 16,000 members, who are mostly licensed practical nurses and health care aides, could serve strike notice as early as Nov. 17.
I’ll have the full news conference below by Youtube link. I wanted to emphasize what the President of the Alberta Union of Provincial Employees said in the middle of that conference - and I’ll paraphrase - that AHS is busted up, the leadership is headless, and no one knows who’s in charge.
This isn’t just unsafe for the staff, it’s completely unsafe and unsound for Albertans.
