Smith Makes Her Move: Alberta Invokes Notwithstanding Clause to Shield Anti-Trans Laws
Premier calls it “one of the most consequential bills” her government will ever pass, using a constitutional override to push through policies that strip rights from trans youth.

Today’s piece isn’t what I usually write about. Most of my columns focus on community, politics, and the social currents that shape our world. But sometimes, life reminds us that meaning can be found in much smaller, quieter places.

Armstrong refers to me, one of her constituents, as an insane leftist. Fun fact: printing my name and handle repeatedly doesn’t make me go away. It just proves you notice me… a lot. And the reaction shows we're over the mark in calling for decency over division & drama in the BC Legislature.
