Talk Truth 04.15.26 - Monique LaGrange | A school trustee posts a meme—and is removed from her elected position. Monique LaGrange joins to break down what happened, why it matters, and how her case sparked changes to Alberta’s Education Act. This conversation exposes how dissent is handled, how quickly voices can be shut down, and why so many remain silent despite disagreeing. As policies shift and awareness grows, a bigger question emerges: who actually decides what can be said—and what happens when you don’t comply?
Court date: April 17, 10:00am–12:00pm | Calgary Courts Centre, 450 1 St SW (26th floor). Supporters are encouraged to attend—whether inside or outside—to show support and raise awareness.
