This morning the UCP refused to give Elections Alberta the resources to verify a recall petition. This is their own legislation.
Basically they are only “pro democracy” until the people actually use the power… so not actually pro democracy at all. #ableg

The UCP’s use of the NWS clause to end the teachers strike is sinking in. This is a terrible precedent for *all* groups with protected rights. Why would the government ever not use s 33 now in any case where they can’t make a credible s 1 argument?
"Bill 2 is perfectly legal."
"The kids need to go back to class."
I agree.
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?

The first (and until today only) time Alberta invoked the notwithstanding clause - in 1998
- the public outcry was so great that Premier Ralph Klein reversed his decision in less than 24 hours. FWIW.

The Supreme Court has stated that Canadians have a Charter right to strike, and the Premier of Alberta just nullified that in order to end a teacher's strike that is entirely her fault.

I hope that the Premier reconsiders her desire to invoke the “notwithstanding clause” in dealing with Teachers.
This very rarely used clause, stripping Canadians of civil rights, has no place in collective bargaining.
General strike would be a commensurate response.
