Demand ACCOUNTABILITY
Mickey Amery is the MLA for Calgary-Cross and Alberta’s Minister of Justice. He represents the people of Pineridge, Rundle, Marlborough, Marlborough Park, and Monterey Park.
He is not listening to the people he was elected to serve, and he keeps pushing laws and decisions that affect all of us.
It’s time we demand answers.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
Mickey Amery, as the MLA for Calgary-Cross and Alberta’s Minister of Justice, is making decisions that affect our communities and our lives.
Pushing a separation referendum Albertans never voted for
Mickey Amery is backing a UCP plan to fast‑track a risky Alberta separation referendum that his party never campaigned on and that people never voted for.
Blaming Immigrants Instead of Owning Their Choices
Mickey Amery is the MLA for one of Alberta’s most diverse, immigrant‑rich ridings, yet he has stayed silent while his own UCP government falsely blames newcomers for the province’s deficit.
Massive Deficits Under UCP Mismanagement
Even after years of record resource revenues, Mickey Amery and the UCP have signed off on a $9.4‑billion deficit with no path back to balance.
Silencing workers’ power to say no
Instead of defending teachers’ Charter rights, Mickey used Bill 2 to end a legal strike, and used the notwithstanding clause in ways that legal experts say threatens freedom of association for all workers.
Turning off the Charter “safety net”
Mickey Amery is helping the government use the notwithstanding clause so courts cannot step in when laws violate basic freedoms, lowering the bar for everyone’s rights.
Making disability a reason to accept poverty
While Bill 12 slashes stable disability benefits and pushes people into deeper poverty, Mickey Amery is part of the cabinet passing it.
Centralizing power and weakening checks
Mickey Amery has sponsored bills that move power away from independent officers and into his own office, making it harder for Albertans to challenge bad laws.
Amery Weakened Election Oversight
Mickey Amery’s Bill 54 shortens investigation timelines and raises the bar for launching probes, changes that Alberta’s own chief electoral officer warns will “reduce the election commissioner’s ability to investigate and enforce compliance with election law.”
Picking which groups the Charter protects
While Amnesty International calls Alberta’s anti‑trans policies an “alarming affront” to basic rights, Justice Minister Mickey Amery is the one introducing and defending the laws that make those rights optional.

Normalizing exceptions so no one is truly safe
As Justice Minister and MLA, Mickey Amery has chosen to author, introduce, and defend laws that use extraordinary powers against specific groups, making it easier to erode anyone’s rights next.
Amery Fails His Own Ethics Test
Amery says recall should only be used for ‘ethical violations and breaches of public trust.’ But when a former judge found serious conflicts of interest and policy breaches in AHS contracts, Amery failed to disclose his own close personal ties to the businessman at the centre of the scandal. If that isn’t an ethical problem, what is?
