Ep 3 04 20 2026 Bill 28

This week on 2 Divas 1 Rant, we dig into Alberta’s controversial Bill 28 — the Municipal Affairs and Housing Statutes Amendment Act, 2026 — and unpack what it could mean for municipalities, libraries, and local control across the province.

From changes to the Municipal Government Act to new amendments affecting the Libraries Act, Bill 28 is being sold as modernization by the province — but critics say it gives Edmonton more power over local decisions, restricts public library autonomy, and creates confusion for communities already stretched thin. Alberta library groups have raised alarms about censorship, privacy, and increased workload, while municipal organizations are questioning whether this is collaboration… or provincial overreach. 

We’ll rant about:

•  Why municipalities are worried about losing decision-making power 
•  How Bill 28 could affect Alberta public libraries, including rural communities like ours 
•  Whether “streamlining governance” is really code for centralizing control 
•  What this means for taxpayers, local councils, and the future of community voice 

Is Bill 28 fixing problems — or creating new ones nobody asked for?

Because when provincial politics hits local communities, you know the Divas have opinions.
 Where local news meets local attitude!

SPEAKER_01 0:08

Today we're diving into something that sounds boring, but actually affects every single community in Alberta. Yep. Housing, libraries, elections, and even how towns make decisions. It's all wrapped up in one bill. And depending on who you ask, it's even fixing problems or creating a whole bunch of new ones. But it'll definitely make you think. This is Two Divas One Rant. Welcome everyone to our podcast where local news meets local out there. This show is all about real conversations on the issues shaping life in our towns, our county, and our region. We'll be breaking down the local headlines, connect them to bigger provincial or national stories, highlight amazing community members, and of course finish with a rant or two. Think of us as your slightly opinionated coffee date every couple of weeks. Welcome back to Two Divas One Rant, where local news meets local attitude. We want to thank our very first sponsor on the corner of 50th Street and 50th Avenue. They pretty much do everything. Yep, Naughty Boys Promotion right here in Elk Point, Alberta, where Twila and her crew are known locally for outfitting teams, events, and companies with branded gear. They're a local Purillator drop-off, and they have a storefront where you can go shop for clothes, trophies, promotional products, and get your embroidery logo stitched on. A big thank you for all you do. Okay, let's jump in here, Terry, and let's talk about Bill 28. A proposed provincial bill that's getting a lot of attention, especially where we live in rural Albuna. Yeah, and for once, it's not just a big city issue. This one hits municipalities, libraries, and taxpayers directly, no matter where you live. So I hear there's supposed to be some governance changes, like a provincial-wide code of conduct for elected officials.

SPEAKER_00 2:08

Yeah, which honestly it's not a bad thing. Standard rules, equal fewer gray areas, maybe.

SPEAKER_01 2:15

Yeah, supposed to, but I mean it's a government thing. So I'm sure there's like more than 50 shades of gray. Yeah, I'm interested to actually see uh the criteria come out because it's uh last I heard was going to be counselor-to-counselor only complaints. So if you're a public and you have an issue with your counselor, there's there's no avenue for you to go unless you find another counselor that's gonna hear your plea and take the complaint on your behalf. So I don't know. This province-wide criteria is uh one to watch for in the future. So we might have to do another show just on that one. Could be. So I just back up here a bit. So you're just saying that only a counselor can make a complaint about a counselor, but there's nothing for the public to make anywhere for the public to make a complaint. So the public could make a complaint on a municipal level, but if they want it to go to this, and they're not calling it a code of conduct because they don't like that word. Um you mean if they wanted to escalate it further. Yeah. What's it called? Now it can't find my list. Uh, but then yeah, it to go and fit under this new bill, it's only counsel to counsel, counselor to counselor. I mean, that might not be a bad thing for some of those. Um there are people out there who constantly complain about things uh for no apparent reason. That just seems to be what they like to do that that could stop those public complaints. However, I mean, I'm gonna pick on the RCMP here for a minute and not pick on them, but just use them as an example in the sense that they get lots of public complaints and they investigate or you know, check into them almost every one of them. Yeah, and they should. That's what a complaint line is. But this is okay, sorry, I found it now. Okay, council accountability framework, counselor accountability framework, council, council, council accountability framework, CAF. Oh boy. The acronym the acronym. Um, the other thing uh my concern about that, uh, you know, having gone through the whole process myself. Um yes, for those of you who don't know, Gary was one time uh a town council. Yeah, and it was a great experience for the most part. It was a good learning curve for sure. It made me a lot more aware of what happens in how towns and villages and cities are run. And interesting how people don't know maybe what questions to ask, so then they don't ask. And then they just think, oh, it's okay, it's running fine, and really maybe it's not. Ask the questions and don't be afraid to. Well, you know what we always say, if some if you're thinking it, somebody else is thinking the same question too. Some people aren't just scared to ask them, so uh, it's good if somebody said. Yeah. I think my issue is that they just got tired of me asking questions. Like they're like, just shut up and let us run the town. Like, you know, don't ask questions. We don't want to hear it. But learn something that just made me dig in harder. Let me find 10 extra ones to ask for next week. I'm just kidding. Um, so sorry, let me just finish up. The thing that I would watch out and be concerned about this council accountability framework is the government's gonna do the review and the investigation, and they're gonna say, okay, municipality, you paid for that now. So it's all gonna be downloaded like on municipalities that they're going to have to pay for these third-party reviews and investigations that they have zero control over. Wow. Yeah. We'll be interesting to see how that all falls out. So then that also makes then people more hesitant, maybe, about making a complaint. Yes, and the other thing that they're looking at is if you're gonna make a complaint, you've got to pay. So if you're not willing, yeah. If you're not willing to pay the fee, then you're not willing to complain. So we'll see that structure too. We'll see how that all comes down the pipe. And where does that money go then? I'm sure to the provincial coffers. It's not gonna go to the municipalities, they're gonna pay for it. Why can't it go to the person doing the investigation? Well, they're gonna be hired by the province. Stay tuned. Oh, that's fascinating. Okay, uh, our other one is here. Oh, yes, libraries. This is where things get a little bit more heated in the controversy. And I said book ban, and you were quick to jump on that and say, no, it's not. Stop saying that. No book ban or book burning. Yes. Yes. No, but it it is rather interesting because it's about people not being able to get books. And from what we read on the government website, that one-page document, it said sexually explicit material, and you had to be over 15 to access it. Yeah. But then when I dived into the bill itself, it actually doesn't really say that. So now it's going to be interesting to see what the criteria will be. It's saying that the minister will make regulations regarding the access to the use and borrowing of public library property by members of the public, including regulations restricting access, use, and borrowing based on age. So, what does that mean? You know, let's let's keep it confusing because that's that's what legislation is, right? Oh, that legally speaks. Yeah, so is it is it 15-year-old, or is it like, oh, you're 70 and you shouldn't be taking out any more gardening books? We want to give it to, you know, Sally, who is 37 and is just starting out. I don't know. Yeah, and then so for example, you have a book that maybe has is a cartoon and it has two people depicting a a love scene of some sort, and you maybe have movies that you're looking at. Um that's okay for adults. So do they get to go put it in the adult section of the library? So or does it have to be like the blockbuster of old, where you have the red light district room in the back? Or does it just have to be behind the counter? And if you're 16 enough, then you have to ask for that book. Because if that's the case, then half that adult section is gonna have to be. Well, they're gonna have to make some. I mean I'm I'm thinking of our own public library, the Laverne Wilson public library here in point. You're gonna have to rearrange that whole structure there if you're putting books, let's say, behind the counter. I don't know if they don't have a room that they can put that in. And I've in my day job, I travel quite a bit, and I've been to a few public libraries. They're small. Yeah. Some of the libraries are just like one, two rooms. That's it. Like, I don't know. And they're not there's nothing in this bill that says the government's gonna hand out more money for retrofitting. Right? And then you may have you mentioned something interesting when we talked. Uh, was how about online? How does that look online? Yeah, we can't even get the right people to sign up on the social media account and not lie. Like, how are you going to all of a sudden you want an e-resource, but you are not 50 per year? Do you know what I mean? Like, or I gotta phone your parent and say, Oh. Yeah, I can see a work around that. And um, this is my parents' number, and you're just gonna give your friend's number and they're a little line. We stayed at our friend's place overnight and we told our parents, oh yeah, that's where we were. You didn't do that? No. Oh, that was just a me thing? Well, I don't think it was just a you thing, but no, my no, I had to be home. Um I never was home by curfew. And I was gonna say, did you have a curfew? Oh, I did. I wouldn't turn that in. I was, you know, ungrounded and then get released, do it all over again. Crystal learner? Or you just it was better to take the punishment? It's easier to say I'm sorry than may I. Oh yeah. I think that's when my dad lost his hand. Oh okay. There, you know, there's a lot more to this Bill 28 as well. Um, we're not gonna ever be able to cover it in one 30-minute session. Um, there are some things about the viability reviews that the thing I found that was interesting was residents' votes would become a non-binding under this new bill. So explain that a little further because if if a a smaller place like Dewbury wanted to be a part of their county and the residents all voted saying, yep, let's let's do that, that doesn't mean it will happen. No, not under this new bill. It just says they'll take it under consideration, but they don't have to do anything with that. So it'll be really interesting to watch the town of Gibbons. So I don't know if any of our listeners or yourself are following the town of Gibbons, they're in a whole world of hurt. They have lots of uh debt, they have lots of uh operational issues that have never been uh that haven't been dealt with correctly. So now Minister Um municipal affairs are involved, and there's some yeah, lots of stuff. So they could have a vote, and if it was before this bill, then there would be a potential of okay, yeah, the residents vote yes, Sturgeon County says yes, we'll take you. Off we go to the races to reformat and reorganize the town of Gibbons. Yeah. It's funny you say Gibbons is in the world of hurting. Is it not my understanding that a lot of our small towns are are hurting financially? Yes. I mean, I I that's what I've heard. I've heard El Point is hurting, St. Paul is hurting, um, and I'm wondering, you know, how many other towns are out there? Uh I look at Lac LaBish, Lac LaBish is uh they have uh a mayor who runs and counselors, but they run the county or the MD, or I don't, I'm not sure what yeah, they've all amalgamated, right? And I think that becomes then the bigger question, and that's definitely for a whole other episode is regionalization. How far does regionalization and amalgamation go? Right? Yeah, but I can understand if we're hurting for money, and this is why people we need to have the fortitude to think ahead and invite people and companies and organizations to our small town to help keep it going. Because you look at I used to work at the Alcointo Elementary School here in town, and there was two grades, you know, two classrooms for every grade. Well, now they're down to one classroom per grade. What does that mean? We used we used to have this beautiful pan-Canadian building with a big oil field company working here, and they left. Yeah. And we were able to retrofit that one into something, but not all of our buildings, take a look around in our industrial area, not all of our buildings are able to be retrofitted or being sold. They're just sitting there. A lot of them, right? And even our houses. Whether we looked the other day, I think there was 61 or something for sale. Wow, that's a lot. I could be wrong. I should go look, I should check my facts. Well, there are houses for sale. Yeah. And so, how do we keep our towns going? How do we keep them financially viable? I mean, nobody wants to pay more in taxes in town. Nobody wants to pay more for water and garbage pickup. Don't even get me going there. But, right? I mean, even county taxes, how much do we want to pay? Yeah. 31 houses. I have to fact check myself. What kind what kind of diva am I if I don't fact check myself? 61, 31. You know, there's a one in there. There you go. But but yeah. No, I hear what you're saying, absolutely. So I don't want to pay more tax. So back to bill 28. So there's a lot of things packed into this bill. Yeah. Like what I think we counted like seven items packed into one bill. What is what is the main thing that the government is trying to push here? Well, that's the fun of government, right? Let's just hammer a whole bunch of things in and make a couple controversial, and then nobody will know, and we'll just pass the whole thing through. Maybe we take a few off the list, but pass the main ones to be. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, stay tuned. We'll have uh definitely have more discussion on that, I'm sure. Sounds like if we get as a downer for our rap this week. Woo-hoo! It says politics isn't fun. It's depressing, is what it is. Yeah. And maybe that's because I guess it depends what side of the aisle you're on. Well, that's true. Let's not even go federal right now. Like, what the heck is happening there? Did you see that meme? Uh okay. I digress. Did you see the Coach Pucella meme with uh Katie Perry and Justin Trudeau? No, I didn't. Yeah, they're sitting there eating, and they got plastic red solo cups on their knees. And the meme was like, this guy tried to ban what single-use plastics from a whole country.

SPEAKER_00 16:25

And look at him now. I'm like, you bugger.

SPEAKER_01 16:29

Yeah, anyways. We should do a meme of the week or something. Meme of the week, yeah. Oh, that's a good idea. Yeah, and I gotta dig into this raccoon thing too that's happening right now. Some AI weight loss raccoon. If you know anything about it, message me because I don't know. It's it seems a little sketchy to me, but yeah. Did you feed your raccoon? I just keep seeing these things pick pop up. Did you feed your raccoon? Did you is your raccoon sleeping? You can't eat while your raccoon's sleeping. I'm like, what the heck is this? Is this like a Tamagotchi thing, but it's a Canadian version of feed the raccoon? Yeah, it's a diet plan. It's something, yeah. Anyways, that's again. I digress. Another episode. Wow. Yeah. I'm all over the place today. Sorry. That's okay. We can be all over the place. Okay. Are we are we done with this? I'm done. I can't even feed the government anymore. I'm done. 20 minutes and I'm out. That's okay. That's okay. Uh I appreciate your knowledge on it because I I don't know a lot. Not I can just ask the questions. What does that mean? You get me all worked up. You get me all fired up.

unknown 17:40

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 17:41

I'll give you some chocolate later. And I would like like in the Harry Potters just to calm you down after the death eaters. I'm alone. But I'll never watch. I'm also don't say I don't want to admit it, but I've only seen one Harry Potter the first one. That was it. Oh, that was a good one. That three-headed dog thing scared me too much. I was scared. And I and I don't do snakes. So when that's like when you have a character named Slytherin or whatever he was, like, nope, can't do it. Just can't do it. I cried when Jafar turned into a snake in a ladder. So you know, I just yeah. Okay, anyways, digressing. I need therapy. This is my therapy. This is your okay, that's great. It's my therapy too. Okay, well then let's move on to community spotlight. Time uh for our favorite part of the show. Want me take this one? You go, girl. Okay, so May 1st, the town of Outpoint is coming out with their first edition of the local link. Sounds pretty exciting. It's a one-stop shop to find all the local information. If you want your group, organization, or event or information shared on this local link, please contact Morgan at the town office. Uh we did get a sneak peek of it. Yeah, we did look through the draft of it. Uh, it had a lot of stuff on there, not gonna lie. I'm not sure about this link. Now, I I I did listen a little to the uh town council meetings and they were talking about it. And the reason why, why are they doing it? I think it's just so that people have like a one-stop, like a hub that they can go to to find the information. But then my OCD starts kicking in, like if could we get it in alphabetical order? Could we make the squares the same size? You know, like just crazy stuff like that. But I do appreciate the work that's going into it because information is key, and I think we have lacked that in for a lot of uh for a while. So I'm glad to see that we're trying to get the information out there. I totally agree. We have this uh system of social media that everybody is connected to, and we have to jump from page to page to find out what's going on. So I guess this is a nice way of doing that. Personally, I just aesthetically would like it to, and and I know it was just a draft, so I hopefully they're still working on it and and improvements will come. So yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm I'm excited to see the final outcome of it. Right. And I mean, isn't that also the same reason why we started this podcast too? Was we don't have a local radio station. St. Paul doesn't have a local radio station. We don't have a local newspaper anymore. We're more almost like a regionalization of newspaper towns all together into one. Yeah, we fight for the page and a half, maybe two pages if we're lucky, in in the weekly newspaper. Right? Yeah, so this is uh another great way, like like we do in this podcast, and we will gladly take anybody's submissions as to what's happening. Just remember though, people, we do drop a podcast every two weeks. So something we had to learn when doing this is like we're recording on this day. We have to be cognizant of the event is happening on that day.

SPEAKER_00 21:13

So yeah, I think we talked a lot about Easter, and then when we dropped the podcast, it was like after Easter, I'm like, oh, missed that one.

SPEAKER_01 21:20

Well, it was Easter Monday. Still have chocolate for like a week. Still eating chocolate. Yeah. I think I've lost now where I was going with it. We're just this podcast will drop on April 20th. So we just got to be cognizant. If you're sending in your topics, sending in your events, just know we will do our best to get them on air. But uh please don't hurt us or you know, accost us at the co-op if we missed it. That's right. And some we we had some great uh submissions to come in. So don't be upset if we don't get to it right away. We are working on on what we're taught our topics are, and it will come. We've Had a few really good ones come out and uh I'm really excited about some of them. June is looking very exciting. June is looking so exciting. All right, so some events, upcoming events that will actually hit before the 20th. Oh, yes. So we have uh some recurring events. Every well, they'll be starting. Yeah. We don't know exactly what day they'll be starting. They dropped an Easter uh event, but this is our Elpoint Farmers Market at the Allied Arts Building, which usually runs every Thursday from 12 to 5 p.m. And I think that time sometimes changes, so check out their Facebook to just confirm that. And then they're gonna start. Yeah. Okay. And then every third Thursday, the community Christian Church has a soup luncheon, and it's 11:30 to 1 p.m. Yeah, and that's actually uh we're gonna miss that one on this episode, but it's every third Thursday, so Market Founder. Absolutely. Can't be everything to everyone all the time, people. We can try. I hear their soup is really good. Very good. Like there is, I'm not a big butternut squash one, but it was pretty good. I like butternut cream mushroom is very creamy. Borg. No, uh I apologize to all my Ukrainian family out there. I do not like the wash. I do not like beets and soup. I like them every other way, but not in a soup. I love pickled beets. Okay, and then every second Saturday, the community Christian Church has a men's breakfast. No, the second Saturday of every month, that should read. Now that I've seen that. Yeah. Okay. So we say it again very the second Saturday of each month is men's breakfast. Okay. 9 a.m. Yeah. Every Tuesday of the month is pickleball. Our dear friend Trent Roley would say pickleball is a bump. Yes. I've never played, have you? Yes, I actually helped. So Jenna Coburn started it because she was a rec coordinator here at that point. And then I became president and took it on its way. Wow. Yeah. And I have a pretty mean serve, I'm not gonna lie. And then my hip kind of gave out, so I had to pass the torch. I would like to go see it one day, please. But Joanna and her crew are doing a really great job. Excellent. They are at F. G. Miller Junior Senior High School gym at 7 p.m. But please remember to bring your indoor shoes, please. And once the snow goes away, they'll be in the outdoor courts just behind the A. J. Ross Arena. True story. Right? And then every Thursday, the Community Christian Church, boy, that's a hawk place. It is. Has the Moment Todds program from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. What else is happening? Well, let's see. April 30th is a newcomer support event put on by Kelp at the Laverne Wilson Public Library in Elk Point at 9:30. So you can go and ask your questions there. May 2nd, 3rd, 9th, and 10th, the Elk Point Theater Project. They are uh, this is the kids' group. They're putting on the Willy Wonka Jr. Adult as 50 with buffet and 30 for show only. That um they do such a great job, and we have such a great facility here in our small town. Like we have no idea how great the Allegarts is. I mean, if you've never gone, I encourage you to go. I used to, when I well, when I used to work at the school, I had a group called the El Coinclementary School Ambassadors, and we volunteered, and we volunteered at this event many times helping out, which was a great way for me to see all this amazing talent that these kids that our local kids have, and it's grown because now uh you said last time we have St. Paul kids coming in, we have Bonneville kids coming in. It is amazing, and the work that the parents and the adults do, the set designs are are just spectacular. So I really encourage people to get out there and support this local organization. Yeah, they do a great job. And and like you said, from set design to singing to food and the ambiance, like last year they did Shrek Jr. and then they had like had the burn like the green ogre stuff coming off. Oh, it was amazing. Anyways, I guess we'll have to go one night. Yeah, maybe we'll go. Maybe we'll get a maybe we'll get sponsored a ticket. Oh, because we love sponsors. We love our sponsors. Um, May 5th, that's yours. That's it's near and dear to your heart. It is. It's the Mother's Day bingo and baked sale in the lovely community of Myrnham at the Myrnham Community Hall. Doors open at 6 p.m. It is a great bingo, it's fun. And the prices are uh planters, flower planters, and baskets. Who doesn't need a flower plant? Right? Um, I should well, or maybe it's just I think it's well, flower baskets. Yeah, watch will show up this year and it won't be. No, no, I think it is. It's it's the baskets, and they might have a planter or two, like for the bigger bingos, like the blackouts or something. Right. But either way, it's great to go support the that local community, uh, meet up with some good friends. Uh I I usually go with a friend here from town. We have a lot of fun. We eat a lot of the baking that we buy that we promised we're gonna take home to our husbands, and it just never bakes. Like I don't bake, but I like eating baking. Uh, the other busy place in the town of Elk Point is the Laverne Wilson Library. So Tuesday, May 5th, the community it's a community presentation with Philip Fair, and I believe that's about mental health, and it's not just for youth, it's about it's uh for anyone. So go there 7 to 9 p.m. I think it will be a good presentation. FCSS, I believe, is putting that on. And then there's also an annual youth mental health art gala from 5 to 9 at the Vermilion Regional Center, and that's on Wednesday, May 6th, the 12th. Oh no, 6th. It's the 12th annual. Oh, yeah, I gotta read my notes better. Okay, and then on Saturday, May 9th, is this is when near and dear to your heart. It's true. The second chance trail ride. So they're gonna go from Lindenberg to Heinsburg. Registration starts at 9. There, oh, we just got news that there's going to be breakfast in the morning, which is we've never done before, so that's pretty exciting. Eggs and sausage and all the fixins. And then uh snacks halfway through the ride with a live auction. And then at the end of the ride, we're gonna have a barbecue, and um, that's sponsored by BR Eccles, which is they do it every year, which we're very uh fortunate to have. And then we'll do a small program sound auction, and yeah, it's a great day. How many years now for the second chance trail ride? This one is 15. Wow. Bringing uh awareness to organ and tissue donations. Uh I know it's near and dear to your heart because you you've been uh working with them, like you've been a volunteer with them for so long. It's also near and dear to my heart because I live in uh downtown LA, Lindbergh, Alberta, and Morris and the late Say Irvine, they are are my neighbors. And so I also support this great organization. Are you all considered neighbors in Lindbergh? We are. How many people are there? Like how many? I think there's 12 homes. Really? That's cool. Yeah. So like they phone me and say, Doris, um, your big fat orange cat is in our yard. Well, he's laying there, he's not doing anything, he's not harming anything, but he's here. We go over, we pick him up, bring him home. I know when Lionel's dog is up visiting. Yeah. Excellent. Yeah, all right. Well, how are we doing for time? Do we got time for our rants? What's rants? Oh, that's rant. Hey, my frustration is how complicated the legislation is. I don't understand all that legal ease in there. We're back to the bill. Well, most people don't even know this bill exists. Yeah, that's true. And it's impacting, it can potentially impact our daily lives. Well, and it's gonna impact our taxes for sure. Uh, my take if you're gonna shift power away from local communities, then you better be ready to explain why and why I, as a taxpayer, have to pay for it and uh explain it clearly and early. Like maybe do consultation before putting the bill out to the legislature, and now we're in second reading already, and you haven't even done consultation. Hmm. Maybe we should contact our MLA. Yeah, we should. Maybe Mr. Uh Splatseer would like to be on two divas one rant if he's praying. Yeah, yeah. Okay. Do we have anything else? I've got nothing. I've got nothing. It's kind of I feel I feel our energy is not quite where it should be. Oh, wait a minute. Do we need to do the disclaimer now? Oh, the disclaimer.

SPEAKER_00 31:39

Because you know, everything we say are our own thoughts.

SPEAKER_01 31:43

Written down most of the time, but clearly our own thoughts. That's right. Uh, two divas and one rant is all about real conversations from our point of view. Everything we talk about reflects our own opinions, experiences, and legislation interpretations of what's happening in our town, our county, and beyond. We're not claiming to have every detail or the full story. We're reacting to what we see, what we hear, and what affects our community. Bill 28. We're here to spark discussions, not to present ourselves as experts, because I don't understand the legalese of legislation. If we miss something or get something wrong, or there's more to the story, we genuinely welcome being corrected or educated. Community insight makes the conversation better, and we're always open to learning from the people who live. Hey, do you know what it just struck me? Do you think it's coincidence that Bill 28 is just as menacing as Highway 28? Oh, Highway 28 could be a whole ramp to itself. That's lame. I know. And oh, it's gonna get done, it's gonna get done. Yeah, well, I'm in the ground, people shovels in the ground. We'll see it when we we'll believe it when we see it. Yeah, I just thought it just hit me. Bill 28, Highway 20. There you go.
