EDMONTON – The Alberta Union of Provincial Employees (AUPE) is launching a constitutional challenge against the UCP government’s controversial Bill 1 the Critical Infrastructure Defence Act.

Canada's largest psychiatric facility is throwing its support behind mounting calls to remove officers from the front lines for people in mental health emergencies.

"It's clear we need a new way forward," the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) in Toronto said Tuesday.

The move follows a string of deaths involving people in crisis, including Ejaz Choudry — a 62-year-old father of four with schizophrenia killed by police in Mississauga, Ont., after his family called a non-emergency line.

"10 candidates are vying to replace longtime leader Elizabeth May when Green members vote for her successor this fall. ... Meryam Haddad and Dimitri Lascaris — Montrealers who say they are socialists — argued the Greens can become the natural home for left-leaning voters through clearer communication and an endorsement of huge spending programs to spur growth and shift to a cleaner economy."

Rebuilding the economy will take an equally unprecedented effort. It is tempting to want to return to the status quo, and to think that a return to before would be a relief, but there were numerous crises raging before the pandemic took hold that will likely worsen if nothing is done. Income inequality, an inadequate social safety net and climate change are just three of the crises that must be addressed.

More than simply returning to what was, it is imperative that Canada redesign its economic programs, its social infrastructure and public services to build an inclusive, fairer and more resilient economy. Investing in workers’ shared prosperity, not in private profits, must be the government's objective.

The National Council of Canadian Muslims (NCCM), The Muslim Council of Peel (MCP), and The Urban Alliance of Race Relations (UARR) are demanding from Chief Nishan Duraiappah that the officer responsible for firing the bullets that killed Ejaz Choudry be taken off the force.

"Following the 2018 success of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, three progressive Democrats took commanding leads in their primaries. ... early returns seemed to confirm that the liberal wave that elected Ms. Ocasio-Cortez to Congress in 2018 has continued to build momentum. Ms. Ocasio-Cortez had faced a primary challenge herself but swept it aside easily, even as like-minded candidates — embracing her call for a Green New Deal and Medicaid for All, among other policies — showed electoral muscle. That strength was perhaps most evident in the 16th Congressional District, which includes parts of the Bronx and Westchester County, and where Mr. Bowman had a hefty lead over Mr. Engel, who was first elected there in 1988."
