Danielle Smith is using the notwithstanding clause to protect herself while crushing individuals' Charter rights.

That’s not freedom, that’s cowardice.

And Albertans won’t stand for it.

How Mark Carney and the baby boomers can save Canada The prime minister ought to challenge the most self-interested generation in history to step up for their country β€” elbows and all β€” and make a sacrifice.

The upcoming federal budget is going to feature both investments and sacrifices -- and yes, that means cuts.

Why it's time for Canada's wealthy seniors to step up and help shoulder their share of the pain. #cdnpoli

On the new 10% tax on Americans who buy stuff from Canada: "The powers he would be using are the Emergency Powers Act. The Emergency Powers Act both says nothing about tariffs and requires a national emergency. And the president having his feelings hurt is by no means a national emergency. "

Alberta to invoke notwithstanding clause to send striking teachers back to work | CBC News Alberta Premier Danielle Smith’s government introduced a bill on Monday to force striking teachers back to work as early as Wednesday.

We can NEVER NORMALIZE THIS as a country. This is a politician seizing power from the courts to pass law that violates our Charter Rights and Freedoms and every single time it’s used it should be reviled and shamed.
