Bill 9 is unscientific and immoral. It does nothing to protect children. It is only designed to hurt them by denying doctor supported life saving care.

Kill Bill 9, not our children.

“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.

Danielle Smith has already used the notwithstanding clause to remove workers', parents', and patients' rights to choose.

It's not hard to see where the road is leading. The UCP has given a roadmap, for those who need the help.

Just how “new” is the Alberta government promise of 3,000 new teachers? #AbEd #AbLeg
What does a promise to hire 3,000 new Alberta teachers really mean?
The Alberta government promised to hire 3,000 more teachers during the recent strike. Some critics say the pledge is misleading.

The Alberta government says it will pay for 3,000 more teachers over three years to ease a classroom crunch.

But the money didn't come as a result of the strike. It was already in last spring's budget before the Alberta teachers' walked off the job. #AbLeg #AbEd

When the Alberta government legislated a swift end to October’s provincial teachers’ strike, it pledged to pay for 3,000 more teaching positions during the next three school years. But what wasn't mad...

“This first use of the Charter’s notwithstanding clause in an act of the Alberta legislature is a stain upon your record & undercuts the credibility of the many calls you have made for all levels of government to respect the rights of citizens.”

ATA to Smith today.

1/ 🧵 Contrary to the UCP, Alberta didn’t have to use the notwithstanding clause to legislate the teachers back to work.
