I can't help to think of the young lives that will be lost because of this hateful legislation & the further harm that occur in the 2SLGBTQIA community. The use of the notwithstanding clause is just egregious & unnecessary.
This Alberta government has more blood on their already bloodstained hands.

Pushing for a cease fire so you can look good in a genocide you specifically enabled, at the same time as you’re assaulting your own democracy & waging war on your own cities, is never going to get you a prize for peace.
