Just a reminder that the notwithstanding clause is used when a government knows what they are doing not only is against people's Charter rights, but also is not a reasonable limit justified in a free and democratic society under section 1. #cdnpoli #ableg
Alberta's justice minister has tabled a bill to invoke the notwithstanding clause to shield a suite of legislation from legal challenges. The laws in question restrict the rights of transgender people in access to health care and sports, and affect K-12 education of all students.

The UCP's obsession with children's genitals should result in the same kind of shunning that happens to a weird cousin who asks all of the kids at a family BBQ what colour their underpants are.
This obsession with what's happening in the pants of children is unhealthy, predatory, and creepy as hell.

If you need to visit Toronto to get trans care for your kid, contact me and I’ll see if you can stay at my place while you have your medical appointments. I’m sorry I can’t help with the sports.
Today, Alberta introduced Bill 9 and invoked the notwithstanding clause to shield three anti-trans laws from constitutional challenge. These laws deny gender-affirming care to youth, erase 2SLGBTQI identities from schools, and ban trans girls and women from sports.

Look, I think it’s folly to monitor NYT coverage at this point but it just has to be said that the NYT covered those damn university president hearings BREATHLESSLY but the Epstein emails???? Crumbs. Even though I’m used to them being bootlickers, it’s still appalling to see.
