3/8 Fail #2: The Teachers' Strike.
When teachers struck over class sizes and underfunding, the #UCP didn't negotiate. They used the #NotwithstandingClause to force a contract.
This sidesteps democratic norms and sends a clear message: "Teachers’ voices don’t matter to the UCP."

McGowan frames this against a backdrop of scandal—from procurement chaos to the #NotwithstandingClause.
He argues the government has "a lot to hide."
Canada, Alberta is ground zero; this is a coordinated attack and if you look at the steps toward authoritarian government, well that is the beat Danielle marches too. #UnderminingTheCourt #MisrepresentationOfTheLaw

#DanielleSmith and the #UCP jumped on the #MAGA #freighttrain, spouting the same #propaganda #LIES about #trans #healthcare, then put laws in place with the #notwithstandingclause! #Undemocratic #Charter #Rights #Freedoms #TRUTHMATTERS #ableg

🇨🇦 LEGAL CHESS MATCH OVER TRANS RIGHTS 🇨🇦
#Alberta shielded its ban on #Gender-Affirming care with the #NotwithstandingClause.

It is dangerous of Bruce McCallister & other #ucp members to spread misinformation about this marginalized group
This will likely lead to further discrimination & violence & ⬆️ the risk of suicide
Worse, using the #notwithstandingclause has legitimized these conspiracy theories
#abpoli

We need to protect the children from Danielle Smith and her complicit UCP government! This is unacceptable and cruel.

Absolutely bloody shameful from UCP in Alberta. Sideswiping the constitution to punch down on trans people - passing cruel laws that have zip to do with provincial governance and everything to do with rw ideology.

#Canada’s use of the #NOTwithstandingCLAUSE has been making headlines much more in modern #politics.

The Alberta #UCP need to hear this. ESPECIALLY after their horrific use of the #NotwithstandingClause to strip human rights from trans kids in the province.
