This is incredible work! Colette Martin has made an impact and this was passed by legislators but is still not fully through. Sadly, there will likely be no sitting legislature until after the current upcoming provincial election. If this matters to you, think about where your vote lies.

If you haven't been paying attention over the SCOTUS docket over the last eight days, you better wake up! Let's see... - Presidents can now accept bribes while in office and also order the hit on an opponent by Seal Team 6 and not be criminally charged. All ok under now because these are "so called" presidential duties. I guess we do like having a monarchy after all. - It's now easier for elected officials and law enforcement to criminally charge and fine the unhoused community for sleeping on the streets, in their car, city parks and the sidewalks. This could have far-reaching implications for those with mental health and/or disability issues. I'm seriously trying to understand how someone who can't afford shelter can now afford to pay a fine. I think that we can all agree that we have a homelessness problem in this nation but putting folks in jail isn't going to remedy it. - Oh, and did I forget that with the overturning of a 40 year old law (the Chevron Act) now shifts power from the executive branch to the judicial branch (SCOTUS) now making them the experts when it comes to government regulations like pollution, asbestos, water contamination, etc. You know, things that scientists and trained professionals can speak on with authority and experience. If I'm being a little snarky it's because I can't say what I really want to and not be thrown into LinkedIn jail. These are just three major opinions that have come down over the past week. Not for nothing, but I'm glad that this session is over because it's going to take me all of the summer to heal from these wounds. https://lnkd.in/gSGQz3bu #scotusrulings

The Supreme Court Ruling This is a disturbing development. The rule of law and accountability are essential for a healthy democracy. No one, including the President, should be above the law. We need to ensure that our leaders are held accountable for their actions, and that our democracy remains transparent and just. #AccountabilityMatters #RuleOfLaw #DemocracyUnderSiege PS Remember The power of the people is greater than any institution. We must continue to speak out, organize, and demand accountability from our leaders. No one is above the law, and we will not stand idly by if our democracy is threatened.
