Beyond Party Lines: One Man’s Stand in Alberta’s Two-Party Divide

Sunday Editorial – Irum Khan It was two days after Rod Loyola was dropped from the Liberal Party in the federal race—over a 16-year-old rap video—that I visited his campaign office.I met him outside, attempting to replace the sign atop the office that still read “Liberal” with one that simply read “Rod Loyola.” A woman with a reassuring Punjabi accent from the Sikh community was helping him. As I…

For every dumbass Albertan (and Manitoban and Saskatchewaner) who doesn't understand the basics of our government system:

• First Past the Post has always fucked over smaller parties and western provinces.

• "we don't have representation in Ottawa!1!1!" Okay so ALL THE MP'S we JUST ELECTED (77 total for AB, SK, BC, MB = 23% of the HoC) are just going to sit in their offices in their ridings?

(no they're not the GO TO OTTAWA WHEN PARLIAMENT IS IN SESSION, and REPRESENT THEIR RIDINGS)

• the conservative elected in Edmonton-Mill Woods, Tim Uppal, does not live in Alberta. He lives in Ontario. He also has ties to the Kamikaze campaign in the UCP leader election.

• fossil fuels are the way of the now, not the way of tomorrow. When the world shifts (as it is and will continue to), how will a Western Republic of Canada sustain itself when all your eggs are in the oil basket again (how's that working out for Alberta right now? 🧐🤔)

• Alberta is having enough trouble forcing a pipeline through a separate province. Most proposed maps show western BC remaining with Canada. How do you plan to force a pipeline through another country? (You won't, just like you didn't get the Keystone XL through the USA)

Quit being such idiots

The federal Conservatives are trying to reassure the World Sikh Organization of Canada that the party remains opposed to Quebec's secularism law after its MPs voted in support of a provision the province used to make it into law.

On Monday, the Conservatives voted en masse in favour of a Bloc Québécois motion recognizing that provinces have a "legitimate right" to use the notwithstanding clause, including pre-emptively.

In Tuesday's letter to Balpreet Singh, a spokesman for the Sikh association, deputy Conservative leader Tim Uppal said the Liberals are trying to spin a narrative that the Conservatives explicitly support the "pre-emptive use" of the clause.

The clause is a provision in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms that allows provincial and federal governments to pass laws that circumvent parts of the Charter for a period of up to five years.

"When the clause is invoked pre-emptively, it effectively prevents anyone from launching a legal challenge in court discussing the suspension of human rights and the erosion of the charter," Singh explained, "which is a huge hit not just for minorities but for all Canadians."

The Sikh organization is among groups vocally opposed to Quebec's secularism law, which bans some public servants in positions of authority from wearing religious symbols such as turbans at work.

Premier Francois Legault's government invoked the notwithstanding clause to usher in the law as well as Bill 96, which reforms provincial language laws. In 2021, the Ontario government used the notwithstanding clause to restore parts of the Election Finances Act. It also invoked the clause last year to impose a new contract on education workers, but quickly backed down from the measure.

In his letter, Uppal says the notwithstanding provision is a "long-standing part" of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and the ability of provinces to use it is "the legal reality."

He goes on to say Trudeau's government has "not made any attempts to change despite having been in power since 2015; Bill 21 was introduced in March of 2019; the Liberal government has taken no action in the courts to oppose it," Uppal said. 

Uppal says that Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has been clear that he is against the Quebec law, and while he respects the province's ability to pass its own legislation, he hopes it is repealed.

Singh said Tuesday that he appreciates the clarification but is disappointed with the Conservatives for choosing to vote for a motion that appears to be "empowering" provinces to use the clause.

"You can't say that they can use the notwithstanding clause willy-nilly," he suggested, while also arguing against Bill 21.

Conservatives still not a hit among racialized communities

Conservatives still not a hit among racialized communities

The Conservative MP leading outreach efforts for leader Erin O’Toole says a six-year-old promise to create a ‘barbaric cultural practices’ hotline still hangs over the party’s attempts to rebuild relationships with racialized communities today. “It’s there,” Tim Uppal says. “It is there.” Uppal served as the minister of state for multiculturalism in Stephen Harper‘s Conservative government when…

A former federal Conservative cabinet minister from Alberta is back in the political game, hoping to take down the Liberal minister in charge of the nation's energy industry, in the heart of the country's oil patch.

Tim Uppal, who served as a minister of state in Prime Minister Stephen Harper's cabinet for almost four years, is nominated to run again in Edmonton Mill Woods, a riding Natural Resources Minister Amarjeet Sohi nabbed from him in 2015 by just 92 votes.

With the issues facing Alberta's economy, including a lack of pipeline capacity and low oil prices, Uppal said he felt drawn to jump back in.

"I've started to get excited about politics again," said Uppal, 44. "There's just a lot that needs to be done and I want to be part of that."
