Meet NDP MLA Janis Irwin.
She’s taken some edgy positions in the past, including when she suggested that Extinction Rebellion activists should be teaching their brand of far left activism in Alberta classrooms.
But now she’s taken the position Alberta needs to defund the police.
On Instagram, she shared a graphic from Climate Justice Edmonton calling for just that.
Yikes!
She’s been silent ever since about her thoughts on why she wants to defund the police.
Let’s be clear, there are important conversations on how policing can better be improved to serve communities here in Alberta.
United Conservative MLA Kaycee Madu had it right when he called out those who are willing to defame those who are willing to put their life on the line to keep us safe and weaken law and order.
Albertans deserve an explanation from the NDP.
We must strengthen our law enforcement and make reforms where needed – not defund the police or defame those who bear enormous risks to keep our people and communities safe. 4/5 #ableg #cdnpoli
