3/8 Then #Bill12, blocking pensions from suing over AIMCo’s trading losses.
And #Bill14, designed to silence a court hearing on the constitutionality of a separation referendum.
They even legislated away political competition, banning the use of the name "Progressive Conservative" retroactively.
#Bill12 passing in #Alberta is an absolute travesty.
Thousands of us on AISH are going to suffer. Between the lower income, no security and existing cuts my family is going to lose our apartment.
Danielle Smith and Minister Nixon get a nice raise while the rest of us live in fear.

Now in Bill 12, the UCP is preventing those pensions from suing the government & getting justice for the UCPs choices. And in that same bill, the UCP is giving their own MLAs yet another raise.
The hypocrisy is staggering.

A few years ago the UCP took control of several major pension funds & forced them to let AIMCo control their investments. AIMCo then lost billions on what became known as the VOLTS scandal. 1/2🧶

IMO the scariest part of #Bill12 in #Alberta is that it denies the right to appeal the government’s decision to reassign individuals from AISH to the new ADAP program
Like invoking the NWC, it is TAKING RIGHTS AWAY from a very vulnerable population
