Between UCP Premier Danielle Smith's use of the notwithstanding clause twice this fall and the MOU she signed with PM Carney this past week, this satire is close enough to the truth to really bite.

Danielle Smith uses notwithstanding clause to declare herself premier of B.C.
Prime Minister Mark Carney disagrees with the concept of a premier of one province unilaterally taking over a different province, but his hands are tied by his unwillingness to do anything about it.

NDP - How did the government get advice that a company that had only been in existence for three months was world renowned and then hand them $70 milllion?

UCP - Let's do lunch!

UCP - The courts are just the worst! No accountability! Did you know the judges are appointed? Appointed! What madness is this!

Also UCP - Hey everyone, we appointed a new judge!

If recalls, petitions and referendums are too much for Alberta Premier Danielle Smith, it can all be simplified down to a general election.

Tonight at 8!

The UCP are trying to erode trust in the courts by calling judges "appointed activists", lying about rulings & by invoking the notwithstanding clause to get around legal judgement on 4 bad laws.

Lawyer Will Van Engen helps us sort it all out!

Since the UCP did not campaign on what it is doing, let’s do “recall” as one Citizen Initiative:

“The undersigned residents of Alberta petition the Legislative Assembly to request the Lt Governor to dissolve the Legislature immediately for the purpose of holding a General Election.”

First they came for trans rights. Now they come for women’s bodily autonomy. Then they claim only Danielle Smith and elected members know the law and use the notwithstanding clause. All while overseeing the arguably the most corrupt gov’t in #ABpoli history.

This is a UCP MLA calling for a referendum on abortion inside of the legislature.

They’re coming for abortion.

“The decision to override Charter rights fails this test.”

The Anglican, Lutheran and United Churches in Alberta have written to Danielle Smith condemning her use of the notwithstanding clause to punch down on the vulnerable Albertans.

The right wing playbook in Europe, the US, and now conservatives in Canada: vilify refugee claimants, and immigrants seeking a better life. Weaken due process and blame immigration for crime, cost of living and who knows what else. It is so tiring and insulting.
Conservatives to propose adding stricter rules for asylum claimants, faster deportations in new bill
The proposed changes include removing failed refugee claimants’ access to all federal social benefits beyond emergency health care.

Alberta will continue being a place where bigotry branded as "free speech" is defended.

This law will ensure every Albertan can be a hateful intolerant, racist, bigot, just like "doctor" Jordan B. Peterson!
