#DYK, more than 3,000 cases in provincial court are at risk of being tossed? Of that, there are 1,281 cases that are "serious and violent" charges.
Email Minister of Justice, @shandro at [email protected] to ask how he's ensuring justice for ALL Albertans! #ABleg

Legal Aid provides representation for economically disadvantaged Canadians. But in Alberta, this isn't the case. If you make $15/hr, you do NOT qualify for Legal Aid.
Sign the petition to let @shandro know that Albertans demand equal access to justice: bit.ly/3zNN3B5

We sure do Travis! Have you asked your colleague @shandro why @AlbertaJSG has caused a crisis by grossly underfunding @LegalAidAlberta and told him basic fairness would end push-back by @CDLACalgary and @AlbertaCTLA and solve a huge problem for the incoming Premier? #ableg
When Albertans get pushed into a corner we push back!
I support my colleague Tyler Shandro’s plan to protect the private property of Albertans, and I will continue to do so as Premier.

Legal Aid Alberta funding over the years:
In 2014-15 - 64.5 Million
In 2018-19 - 104.1 Million
In 2021-22 - 82.3 Million
The UCP and @shandro need to stop defunding @LegalAidAlberta.

@LawSocietyofAB where do defence lawyers rank on your totem? Looking forward to a similar level of support from our law society in Alberta as we tackle the same issues here.

Alberta's NDP is calling for the UCP government to immediately address the chronic underfunding of Legal Aid Alberta. Our letter to the government from @MLAIrfanSabir:

Well funded Legal Aid SAVES money. The CBA did the research, we know it's true. And Albertans facing dire consequences deserve an adequately funded Legal Aid system.

It’s not quite the robed photo on the steps in Ottawa, but we’ll take it! Couldn’t ask for a better crew than this one 💛
We forgot to get a robes-selfie cause the day started at 445AM but it was still a very special Valentine’s Day at the SCC with @KelseySitar (and @appeallawAB and @samarabrooke )!
