When the UCP uses the notwithstanding clause tomorrow, watch defenders say, "it's totally legal" or "we had no choice."
They're deflecting.
The UCP wants to exact as much harm on transgender folks as possible. And they know their actions are not justifiable in a democratic society.

An errant voicemail gives us insight into how the UCP is handling the backlash against its use of the notwithstanding clause. They're not doing well.

The UCP is widely expected to use the notwithstanding clause once again on Monday.
Why?
Not just because they can.
And not because they have to.
They're doing it deliberately, whether out of spite, laziness, or expediency.
