The UCP could have ended the teachers' strike using s1. Other govts have.
Not Bill 9. The UCP has no evidence to support a s1 claim that their removal of parental & child rights is proportional or justifiable in a free and democratic society. Only vengeance.

Bill 9 is a trans rights issue.
Don't be fooled, because it's also a parental rights and bodily autonomy issue.
The UCP has no place in the living rooms and physicians offices of this province.

Keeping up with the UCP government's democratic transgressions can be difficult.
But not impossible.
Here’s a running list since Danielle Smith became premier. 🧵👇

The 2025 fall session of the Alberta legislature will come to be known, infamously, as the Notwithstanding Session.
I hope that it will also give rise to what will be known as the Notwithstanding General Strike.
The Charter shd protect the rights of minorities not the bigotry of the majority

My mistake has been trying to explain what "fascism" is to people who don't care what it is.
So I'm going to try something else. Let's do this as a practical thought exercise.
If America *were* fascist *today* - what would you have to do differently in your daily life? /1

I don't give a DAMN what your political inclinations are, behaviour like this is completely and utterly unacceptable!
Grow the hell up!
Uderstand that there is a time and a place to express your displeasure. A Remembrance Day Ceremony honouring our fallen is neither!!!

Today, we honour the service of the brave women and men who answered the call.
Those who sacrificed years away from loved ones, those who returned from combat forever changed, and those who never came home — the veterans who served in the Canadian Armed Forces.

This is why, after forming government in 2017. the BC NDP passed a law banning donations to political parties from businesses & unions Only individual citizens can donate to political parties in BC & it makes a difference.
This ban needs to be enacted across Canada.
Ban paid lobbyists, too.

By using s33 pre-emptively, the UCP is not simply admitting that their laws are breaching Charter rights. (Governments have done that before.)
By foregoing judicial review, they are further admitting that their laws cannot be justified in a democratic society.
