"Big Oil created the #PumpAndDump scam where they sell used up wells to poor companies that can't afford the cleanup, leaving the landowner with the problem. If it were your own business, you'd want to sue or call a cop, but the cops in this case are the Alberta Energy Regulator."

If the Alberta government goes through on Monday with a back-to-work order on our teachers and enforce it by stripping away charter rights with the notwithstanding clause, then I absolutely support the need for a general strike from Alberta's Common Front of labour unions, which includes the ATA, HSAA, AUPE, UNA, CUPE, AFL, UFCW, ATU, and more.
ATA is on strike and HSAA is ready to strike. CUPE has recently come out of another historic education strike. AUPE represents Government of Alberta workers who just barely avoided a strike by a slim margin lately, and Alberta Health Services workers who will be voting on a strike mandate NEXT WEEK!
If the Common Front elects to go on a general strike, the force of this solidarity would be astounding, and an absolutely APPROPRIATE response to the government completely stripping away our charter rights "just because they can". This is the most undemocratic thing imaginable.
Alberta Union leaders, now is the time. You all signed a solidarity pact, and one of our unions is in the midst of our province's most historic job action, with a government planning an UNPRECEDENTED abuse of power to strip away charter rights. There is no more time.
I also stand in solidarity with Alberta students who are also planning to walk out in the case of this back-to-work legislation. Our future remains bright with them.

We normally have hares around here, they're much bigger and their ears are way longer, and one part of the city has feral domesticated rabbits. But this appears to be a wild rabbit! Munching on my front lawn today.
