What’s in the Letter & Why It Matters
Leadership at a Crossroads: Rath says Premier Smith must remove Kenney-era ministers implicated in pandemic misfeasance or risk losing Albertans’ trust.

“Team Alberta,” Not “Team Canada”: He slams Ottawa’s 25 % retaliatory tariffs and Smith’s support for making everything from trucks to tomatoes pricier in Alberta.

When the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms was introduced in 1982, the drafters inserted a crucial statement at the very outset:

It was not a ceremonial “preamble” but a constant framing principle, meant to remind legislators, judges, and citizens alike that the Charter’s rights have a transcendent source.
