Let’s this sink in. Bill 2 overrides:

• The Labour Relations Code;
• The Public Education Collective Bargaining Act;
• The Alberta Bill of Rights;
• The Alberta Human Rights Act;
• The Education Act.

All without vigorous debate or consultation with Albertans.

"Much fanfare was made of Alberta’s Bill of 'rights' back in October 2024, with the Premier claiming that 'Alberta should be the freest place in Canada, and (the UCP is) committed to making that a reality.'

'Committed' is such a vague word, really."
