But Notley claimed on Monday that the Western Standard (WS) is engaging in “very active homophobic, discriminatory, hateful editorial positioning” as it relates to some of her NDP caucus members.

“Your publication recently has been engaging in very active homophobic, discriminatory, hateful editorial positioning as it relates to some of our caucus members,” Notley told the Western Standard when being questioned why the publication was removed from her media list.

“And until such time as that is retracted and apology offered. We will not be answering questions. I am happy to reconsider that issue should a retraction and apology be offered. But between now and then I simply cannot engage in any sort of normalization, that kind of conversation. It is a breach of our Human Rights Code. It’s a breach of our charter. It’s a breach of basic standards. And so I look forward to hearing from your editors in the future.”
