Heartbreakingly, despite our best efforts, today the Government of Alberta was able to bring an end to the injunction against Bill 26 on the basis of its use of the notwithstanding clause.
This is a cruel and dangerous move by a government that will harm vulnerable young people.

Bill 9 gets Royal Assent but if the Government thinks the fight is over, they continue to underestimate us. By invoking the notwithstanding clause, the Government is attempting to shield these reprehensible laws from being struck down for unjustifiably violating Charter rights. It will not work.

Last night, the Government of Alberta passed legislation to suspend the charter-protected rights of trans youth. Today, transgender young people in Alberta are waking up with fewer rights than their peers.

Premier Danielle Smith is a coward, a bully and a hypocrite. Stripping kids of rights and denying them their day in court isn't leadership, it's cowardice.

Only cowardly politicians override charter rights before the courts can decide
Invoking the notwithstanding clause before a court can make a ruling is cowardly, politically motivated and a dangerous precedent.
