Marlaina does not get to take away #Albertan's Charter Rights. It is clearly an attempt to force the Supreme Court of Canada to limit her inevitable use of the #Notwithstanding, and thus 'justify' the fall Referendum question.

Just a reminder to everyone… just because the strike was ended and school has been in session for the rest of the year does *not* mean that our teachers are ok. It will be a long time before our schools and teachers are ok.

So. To try to use controversy and #bikelash to distract from the Centurion data breach and UCP electoral boundary gerrymandering scandals, the UCP are rolling out anti-bicycle legislation on Monday.

Insiders say it will use the #Notwithstanding Clause to circumvent the supreme court ruling that prevented Ford from ripping out bike lanes in Ontario.

Talk about low-bar callous disregard for safety: literally throwing people (kids!) in front of buses (& trucks). All to distract us from UCP perfidity.

We won't take the bait.
We will take the lane.

We'll stay calm, deflect back to #Centurion breach of 2.9M Albertans' privacy, the election boundary #gerrymandering, the UCP-fomented attacks on Canadian confederation, and pedal on.

I just read Cody Mallette's vigorous defense of the notwithstanding clause in the National Post. It seems thoughtful and balanced, but it's bullshit.

You can bet your ass off that these right wing proponents of legislative bodies superceding jurisprudence or actual inalienable human rights would go to pieces if any province invoked s33 to strip property rights rather than just abuse marginalized communities and children.

Notwithstanding, Rights are worthless

"Alberta's Smith says notwithstanding clause increasingly likely amid unpopular court rulings"

So let me get this straight.......#MarlainaSmith is going to use the #notwithstanding clause when judgements don't her her way. Have I got this right?

FUCK YOU BITCH!!! There is no place in Canada for Trump politics. This cows hypocrisy is deafening, and completely un-Canadian. She sows nothing but division, and then clutches her pearls.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!!!!!
