There should have been a limit on provincial use of the notwithstanding clause to prevent it’s abuse, something like one per term seems right making it the nuclear option for a sitting party.

Changes to the laws are required, not the judges.
She’d gaslight us to believe that the referee in Air Bud was the bad guy for not enforcing a rule that didn’t exist!
They’re saying „how dare the judges follow the laws we made“

Conservatives using this country’s constitution like toilet paper. It absolutely disgusts me.

Probably the least democratic premier the province has ever had. What’s it like being ruled by a dictator alberta?

This woman has no understanding of how rights, or law, or any sort of modern governance by the people should be run. Fuck her.

Can we use that not withstanding clause to force her tyranny out of office? Albertans do not want or need her extremist anti Canadian values. She can go move into mar a lago where she belongs.
