Alberta CANADA is making it ILLEGAL to protest

The Alberta government passed Bill 1: Critical Infrastructure Defence Act in order to allow RCMP and other officers to arrest, fine, and jail protestors who occupy places the government deems a place of “critical infrastructure” and includes legislative buildings, mining sites, railways, and PUBLIC ROADS in or outside cities! This is likely in response to the Wet’suwet’en hereditary chiefs protests and the solidarity protests across the country which blocked railways and pipelines in early 2020.
It will likely also effect future BLM, environmental, and other human and land rights protests. I think this is a very relevant and scary bill right now, and we need to tell the Premier that we will not be silenced!
Please share, read the petition, and sign!!!

Fuck Jason Kenney and the United Conservatives Party!
The bill wasn’t likely in response to the protests this January, it was made in response to the railway blockades that happened in JANUARY OF THIS YEAR to stand in solidarity with Wet’suwet’en. Kenney made that bill to silence Indigenous voices and he’s ramming it through now to silence Black voices and their allies because there is a rally planned this Friday June 5th at 6:30pm at the Legislature Grounds. He wants to silence us and use the Covid-19 social distancing public health orders to stop the protests too! (No gatherings over 50 people and you need to be 2m apart)
Please signal boost and sign the petitions. Kenney doesn’t speak for Albertans. He is a mediocre white man from Ontario who came out here in Alberta to stir shit up and use populist tactics to turn people on each other so he can control us. I never voted for him and I miss Rachel Notley every single day.
