The UCP have been claiming they were willing to enter mediation to reach a fair deal with teachers.
But as I explain, the UCP’s reaction when a mediator recently ruled against them makes it pretty clear they can’t be trusted to keep any deal that doesn’t favour them.

Remember when Danielle Smith condemned the "arrogance" of a government for passing laws in a matter of days?
Now she's rammed through a law stripping teachers' charter rights in a single day.
Seems the "democratic process" no longer matters to her now that she's in power.

Let's be clear about what happened today.
Premier Smith introduced a bill to strip Albertans of Charter rights,
denied MLAs the opportunity to debate it and the courts the ability to scrutinize it,
and did all of this from her seat on a jet to Saudi Arabia.

The UCP government has invoked time allocation and on a bill removing Albertans' Charter rights.
And they're using the notwithstanding clause to do it.
Here's why that is a dangerous precedent. And why real conservatives need to stand up against it.

We've had very smooth vaccination roll-outs for decades. We didn't forget how to do it just this year. This is 100% by design. They want you to get so exasperated you either give up or pay out of pocket. Then they make both their antiscience fuckwit and privatization bases happy. Ghouls.
