The Alberta Court of Appeal released its decision on the Impact Assessment Act on October 9, 2026, which is 12 days before the October 21 posting date. That is a close match to 'two weeks prior', within rounding, so the claim holds.
A guest makes this claim. Listeners heard it, so it counts against the post, and on the guest's own record.

Power & Politics · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Supports. The Alberta government's statement (alberta.ca, Oct 9, 2026) says the Alberta Court of Appeal ruled that the Impact Assessment Act remains unconstitutional, on the day of the decision.[1]
Supports. The Canadian Press/CBC report says the Court of Appeal ruled 'Friday', with a posting date of October 9, 2026, and the court's own decision (2026 ABCA 320) is dated 20261009.[2][3]
Supports. Law firm analyses (Bennett Jones, DLA Piper, Osler, Blakes) all date the 2026 ABCA 320 decision to October 9, 2026.[4][5][6][7]
Context. The post itself said 'Two weeks ago' on October 21, 2026. The actual gap is 12 days, so the extraction's 'two weeks' is an approximation of the record, not a contradiction.
