This is the actual pull yourself up by your bootstraps, can-do attitude that we need more of. Well done!
#yycbike report: typical Calgary dry, fluffy fun stuff. Even if you don't have your winter tires on, it's quite fun. Recommend avoiding the car today cuz driving in this looks like my nightmare.

Danielle Smith and the UCP keep using the notwithstanding clause to strip Albertans of their rights.
This is an abuse of power.

Albertans paid the price for the UCP’s $125 million dollar political experiment with public health care.
Wait times grew, errors increased, and patients suffered from waiting too long for routine appointments and delaying cancer treatment.

Peter Lougheed was one of the key drivers behind the inclusion of the Notwithstanding Clause in our Charter. He'd be horrified by how — and how often — Conservative premiers like Danielle Smith are using it today. #cdnpoli

The use of the Notwithstanding Clause is out of control. It’s up to voters to stop it
The architects of Canada's Charter of Rights and Freedoms thought the Notwithstanding Clause would only be used in exceptional circumstances. Conservative premiers seem determined to prove them wrong.
