"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!!!!!

Use the notwithstanding clause to remove the Alberta and Saskatchewan governments, and call elections.

Sauce: goose, gander.

Meanwhile, the same numpties keep invoking the #NotWithStanding clause saying something like, “you shouldn’t have included it if you didn’t want us to use it!”

Good point. This seems particularly relevant with (again, #Alberta) religious-driven #antitrans laws recently with the #Notwithstanding clause.

In 2020, I made artwork reflecting the state of affairs in AB under the UCP, calling it "UCP Shenanigans" - still so very relevant today (despite a plethora of new shenanigans). I'm considering doing a limited 8x10 print run. Would anyone be interested in buying one? Watch the video for a sneak peek.

I would much rather spend my time working on my passion project (Project Hawk - links in my bio) but here we are.

Premier Smith has repeatedly said the Legislature needs to have and use the #NotWithStanding clause because *they* are “accountable” to Albertans. I am glad to hear LaGrange’s constituents are working to hold her to account for their terrible laws.

The groundbreaking study found that suicidality dropped for transgender youth receiving hormone therapy by nearly 70%, with only 7 patients of 432 discontinuing treatment.
