Gerrymandering in Alberta?
The UCP is moving to redraw electoral boundaries, and political scientists @DrJaredWesley and Dr. @FSnagovsky say the province could be in “a heap of trouble.”
Are you concerned?

In this [paywalled] article, @JLisaYoung @loleen_berdahl and I argue that we need more Arts graduate students; but we've been doing it all wrong. We're producing aspiring academics who can't get jobs, rather than graduates who can solve the wicked human problems of our times. /x

“When it comes to believing something to be true in politics, we often look to politicians and others we trust for that kind of decision making. And as a result, the kinds of things our political leaders say matter": @FSnagovsky / @cgroundpolitics rmoutlook.com/local-news/cli…

Over the past week, it has been important to provide those directly affected by the violence on campus the space they need to process and react to the events of May 11.
Here are my thoughts, along with my colleagues @WAndyKnight1 and @FSnagovsky.

Sure, this is dangerous, undemocratic, threatening language. But let's calm down. It's not like he has access to camping equipment or pallets.

The arc of history has bent in favour of extending the franchise to all citizens in Canada.
Through Bill 20, the UCP is bending this arc backwards.

Given the clear barriers to obtaining it, proponents of voter ID treat voting as a privilege, not a right.
They put government in the position of judging who is most worthy of the franchise.
This argument is radical, not conservative.

That view of democracy is offensive to those of us whose grandparents were prevented from voting based on those grounds, or whose grandparents fought wars or staged protests against that sort of discrimination.

At their core, the most fervent arguments in favour of voter ID boil down to the belief that only certain citizens are worthy of voting.
Having ID is seen as evidence of being "responsible" or "smart" or "dedicated" enough to vote. Comments on my posts bear this out.

“Talk radio can be useful, but it only gets a government so far. Shooting from the hip can be exhilarating, but eventually someone’s going to get hurt.” with @DrJaredWesley in the @edmontonjournal #abpoli #ableg
26 Apr 2024
My latest, with @FSnagovsky:
"Eventually, a string of half-baked policy proposals and false starts can drain public confidence in the government, particularly if those measures were
not in the party’s election platform and are unpopular to begin with."

🧵DATA UPDATE: With the introduction of Bill 18 and the Alberta premier's comments on federal funding being unfairly distributed to liberal disciplines, Ping Lam Ip and I collected data on over 35,000 research projects funded by the Social Science and Humanities Research Council.
