Premier Smith's Chief of Staff, Rob Anderson, would be OUTRAGED teachers were stripped of their freedom of expression... if he wasn't a huge hypocrite.

"How dare we think we can do that? What kind of society do we think we live in?"

By using s33 pre-emptively, the UCP is not simply admitting that their laws are breaching Charter rights. (Governments have done that before.)

By foregoing judicial review, they are further admitting that their laws cannot be justified in a democratic society.

Danielle Smith once claimed her "mission in public life" was to defend the fundamental rights and freedoms, and that they "cannot be taken away from us by government".

But now she's the one who has taken away fundamental rights and freedoms from Albertans.

Here's Rob Anderson, Premier Smith's Chief of Staff, in 2013 (before the 2015 Supreme Court decision):

"That to me impinges upon their freedom of assembly, I would think, and their right to organize & so forth, which is a protected right under our Charter of Rights and Freedoms"

Premier Smith should heed Danielle Smith's advice.

"By attacking the legal rights of unions in this way, the Premier is only deepening the rift between the government and its workers, and it’s driving that crucial relationship right off the rails..."

The hypocrisy of Premier Smith's current Chief of Staff, Rob Anderson:

The government is acting like a "dictator" by ripping away legal rights to impose a settlement.

"That's wrong. That's not the Alberta way. That's not what we do here."

Remember when Danielle Smith condemned the "arrogance" of a government for passing laws in a matter of days?

Now she's rammed through a law stripping teachers' charter rights in a single day.

Seems the "democratic process" no longer matters to her now that she's in power.

Danielle Smith claimed affordability for seniors was a "number one" priority.

"When I was door knocking down in Brooks-Medicine Hat, every time you met a senior, they were concerned about the costs of groceries, home heating, electricity and their PRESCRIPTION DRUG COSTS"

Earlier on May 26, the Government of Alberta identified four books as being age inappropriate and graphic.

Those books were Gender Queer by Maia Kobabe, Fun Home, by Alison Bechdel, Blankets by Craig Thompson, and Flamer, by Mike Curato.
