#NOTWITHSTANDINGCLAUSE
It's <20%, but, with our #FPTP voting system and the knowledge that by the time their voter-suppression tricks are adjudicated, the election will have been "won" and the courts won't overturn it.

As Albertans we need to do better in curbing Danielle Smith's unjustified abuse of the #NotwithstandingClause
Unused for decades since its inception, #QueenDanielle used it 4 times in 6 weeks.
She will use it again, and whose rights will she step on when she does? Yours?

Anything but create affordable housing.
Whatever happened to Thuggy's scheme to force #OntarioTaxpayers to buy his buddies' unsold condos at inflated prices and use them as public housing? Another scam.

For a Premier who seemingly dislikes most court decisions in this province, Doug Ford sure does spend a lot of time trying to get in the court room. He's (again!) threatening to use the #NotwithstandingClause on a court decision with which he doesn't agree. #ONpoli www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

#abed Teachers are fighting #MAGA-UCP using the #notwithstandingclause.

It was meant to be politically toxic; unthinkable any gov would say "Human rights? Yeah, we don't care". Smith don't care.

Support teachers & parents fighting back!

"we should resist a uniformity of Charter Rights across the country"

American politicians have a weirdly twisted worship of their constitution. Canadian politicians have an increasingly dismissive view towards our Charter of Rights.

"I give credit to the electorate to understand to be able to make informed decisions with less information"

is an interesting take when arguing to limit legal assessment of legislation

Our Charter rights are what is at stake here. Clarity on this is important.
I wrote this to bring the issue back to where it belongs: your personal rights and freedoms.
