Name ONE THING the UCP has done that will improve the lives of Albertans.
On Human Rights Day, the UCP used the notwithstanding clause to take away Albertans’ rights.
Now they have gone even further by trying to stop the courts from doing their job.

And that the federal government will likely refer their question to the courts?
