And since FN land claims are a major stumbling block to this separation BS, of course they'd want to just get rid of FNs and their pesky land claims.

Not conceding means 1 of 2 things, doesn’t it? 1) she has other options available to her to contest the vote or 2) she’s a poor loser. Anything else?

I channelled some of that into emailing every single UCP MLA this morning, emailing a couple of federal MPs and faxing our PM. Now I'm just scrolled social media..............

"Alberta’s use of the notwithstanding clause continues an alarming trend of provincial governments putting political expediency ahead of people’s human rights." #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli

Amnesty International Canada condemns Alberta government’s use of notwithstanding clause in Bill 2

Alberta's use of the notwithstanding clause in Bill 2 means that courts won’t be able to strike down the law even if it violates the Charter.

Where's the premier while MLAs rush through an all-night debate on stripping Albertans of their Charter rights?

An airport lounge, waiting for a flight to Saudi Arabia. She didn't even bother to show up for the vote.

I remember when conservatives turfed premiers for this level of hubris.

🚨🚨🚨If you live in Alberta or plan to move here, this is required listening. A terrific discussion of O&G liabilities, how we got here and how the public will likely be on the hook for payment. A dirty industry, a captive regulator, and failed policy. With expert @molszyns.bsky.social.

Doug Ford's attempt to silence teachers using the notwithstanding clause sparked massive protests and a public outcry that forced him to back down. Could Alberta follow suit? This isn’t just about teachers—it's a fight over fundamental

Mark Carney could remove the emissions cap, the tanker ban, and anything else Danielle Smith demands. Her proposed pipeline still wouldn't get built because the business case for actually filling it gets worse with each passing day.

Danielle Smith’s pipeline still doesn’t have a business case
