“This first use of the Charter’s notwithstanding clause in an act of the Alberta legislature is a stain upon your record & undercuts the credibility of the many calls you have made for all levels of government to respect the rights of citizens.”

ATA to Smith today.

“This reflects a flagrant disregard for fundamental rights and freedoms, and a cavalier attitude which is shocking to Albertans and to Canadians.”

“To me that was completely trampling over democracy in any right,” Craig said. “To see her stand up and vote for it . . . I know that this is not in the best interest of the constituents in this riding.”

1/ 🧵 Contrary to the UCP, Alberta didn’t have to use the notwithstanding clause to legislate the teachers back to work.

The legislation is supposed to embargoed until tabled, but if this is accurate…

Smith is invoking the notwithstanding clause to force teachers back to work.

Which is an admission that she is violating charter rights.

It is a dark day in Alberta.

The Notwithstanding Clause is a political golden ticket that allows a provincial government to ignore the Charter of Rights & Freedoms

I guarantee you by tolerating this, we open the door for the day they come for you

When instead, we should be warning Premier Smith that this door swings back hard
