JdeBPThe mad thing is that this is clearly 'stupid evil'. Clearly, the target is §15, which deals in sex & age discrimination.
But because the Act was stupidly drafted to blanket abrogate § '2 and 7 to 15', when the #CCRF #NotwithstandingClause itself says 'or' & 'a provision', that makes the argument for disallowance a lot stronger.
Abrogating the right to life in a Health Act, and the right to safety in a Safety Act!

Remember:
If a legislative Act abrogates sections "2 and 7 to 15" of the Charter, it has done away with the freedoms of expression, religion, association, assembly, the press; freedoms from self-incrimination, arbitrary imprisonment, & cruel and unusual punishments; with the rights to legal counsel & speedy trial; and with the prohibitions of double jeopardy & retrospective criminality.

When your legislative Act has to state that no fewer than three separate charters of human rights may not be applied; to things that are ostensibly about health, education, fairness, and safety; something is horribly wrong with your lawmaking and your ideas of health, education, fairness, and safety.
It is evil people who think that #HumanRights are things that get in their way.

Alberta teachers’ union files labour complaint, alleges province engaged in ‘bad-faith bargaining’
The UCP used the Notwithstanding Clause to take away teachers rights to negotiate for better working conditions, and to enable them to negotiate in bad faith.
I think this bad faith is similar to the UCP’s use of legislation to punch a hole in Canadian retirement funds when AIMCo gambled away around $1.3 Bln. Links below.
Jason Schilling, the president of the ATA, said at a news conference on Friday that he believes the government is attempting to “rewrite its own commitments,” and that the ATA wants clarification on what was agreed to at the bargaining table regarding the plan to bring in additional teachers.
“What was told at the bargaining table and then was commented afterwards, it seemed to be two different things and we need clarity on them,” he said.
“What will come out of the complaint is hopefully that we hold the government [accountable] for what they said.”
…
In the ATA’s recent email to its members, it said the “ATA understood — and TEBA’s bargaining conduct implied — that these 3,000 teachers were additional to the staffing already funded and announced in Budget 2025.”
Schilling said the government “insists” that the phrase “net new” meant any increase in teachers over the prior year, even if those positions were already funded by Budget 2025.
“If that was their interpretation, then nothing was new at all,” he said.
“The 3,000 teachers they pointed to during the bargaining were already announced, already budgeted and already counted in the 2025 budget.”
