Sir, I commend you for your very positive use of this absolutely absurd law.
We all - at least I always thought so, until now - have the right to see a claim and to scoff at it and demand (verbally, in writing, however it may suit one) proof, put out counter information, etc. Now, we simply await the bureaucracy to do whatever the bureaucracy does - one wonders what that is, really!
I am going to take you up on your suggestion and look for some of these very dubious claims. Perhaps I will start with the Green Party of Canada. Well, perhaps. Or, perhaps I will start with their fellow travelers, the Liberal Party of Canada.
In any event, thank you for just a wizard suggestion. I can see that my retirement years now have extra meaning!
The salient quote is this, "Alberta Premier Danielle Smith said she essentially disbanded the infamous ‘war room’ because it’s her job to take Alberta’s energy fight to Ottawa on her own terms."
I had heard they were disbanded, although their website is still up (https://www.canadianenergycentre.ca/). I wonder if there's anyone inside the Alberta government who might be able to make use of my idea.
I'm fairly certain the entire cabinet has a great sense of humour. Certainly the Premier does. She's on LinkedIn as well as Twitter on a fairly regular basis (through her staff who seem to monitor and report overviews back to her) and, of course, all e-mail addresses can be found with a simple search at (https://www.alberta.ca).
I was planning to share your post to LinkedIn, but if you'd rather ...? I'll send it along to my Alberta friends (we're all in quite an uproar as you might imagine).

That's awesome. I have a new hobby. Thanks David!
Nicely done, David! Thank you.
For your reference, however, the Alberta War Room has been disbanded.
Sadly, the article is behind the paywall: https://www.westernstandard.news/alberta/smith-says-its-her-job-to-fight-and-win-the-war-room-battle/55290

Thanks again for the fun idea, and template!

Why not try?

My LinkedIn account is pretty useless for this stuff: 90% of my contacts are technology people who aren't Canadians. So please do post there.
I think I will try those direct contacts, though. Thanks!
Humour always helps, doesn't it. And if we all do a little something, it'll certainly be better than sitting around kvetching and feeling helpless.
