For me preemptively using the notwithstanding clause to strip kids of their Charter rights and prevent legal challenges shows that Alberta government knows their shitty discriminatory bills will not stand up to legal scrutiny from the jump. This is lazy ass governance as per usual.

The entire UCP government is blatantly “incompetent”. Incompetent of fixing issues they have created, incompetent of respecting us, incompetent of being accountable & also incompetent of being truthful.
Voila!Listen to your own words!
To sum it up- Danielle Smith & her government are incompetent.

"Bill 2 is perfectly legal."
"The kids need to go back to class."

That doesn't mean the premier should've done an endrun around the legislature and the courts.
If the back-to-work law was defensible, why didn't she defend it before leaving the country?
