An important note… Smith isn’t just overriding the federal Charter… She’s also overriding the Alberta Human Rights Act AND the Alberta Bill of Rights she just rewrote. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

They call it ‘protecting legislative sovereignty.’ The rest of us call it what it is: hiding behind the notwithstanding clause because you lost the public and couldn’t win in court. I—as a born-and-raised Albertan—will never forget this day or who stood behind it.

Recall 4 MLA's and we can have a Corrupt Care Public Inquiry and get rid of this BS. One has already been started. #FAFO

Power corrupts. Absolute power is actually kinda fun. - Danielle Smith, probably.

Unbelievable unconscionable deplorable UCP behaviours. None of our civil human or workers rights are SAFE as long as the UCP sits in power.

The tipping point has happened. Now what? We might as well be in a dictatorship. Regarding the recall legislation using this as a case/precedent they won’t recognize the recall results.

@Pumpkanpie AB teachers now will never be happy. This lasts for decades. Ask Ontario teachers. Teaching is one of the most demanding, responsible, stressful vocations there is. It requires enormous patience & humanity. The least a gov can do is give RESPECT. Solidarity with @albertateachers

When does the trucker convoy happen?

This will be struck down. Teachers, stay strong.

@suestroud Good luck recruiting teachers and education assistants after this move! "The UCP appreciates all the hard working public sector workers" If anyone believes that, I have some real estate in the Amazon jungle with a destination bridge to fish off of ... real cheap too. 🤦 #ableg

@DevinShat Don’t forget she with also be applying the notwithstanding clause on her anti-trans bills. Stripping our rights away and smiling while she does it. Strong and free my ass. Freedom for me but not for thee she says.

These 4 are so full of 💩💩. They created this crisis and are now throwing gasoline and a match. @ABDanielleSmith and @Alberta_UCP are thugs!

She has been itching to use the notwithstanding clause for awhile.

Smith is a criminal Like her hero

Like when the PM used the emergency act on peaceful protesters. Wonder if you cared as much.

This folks is how DICTATORS slowly seize control of your democratic systems! UPC is well on their way; their own police force, repeated use of not withstanding clause to strip rights, destroy public health and education, blame marganalized people and immigrants - DICTATORSHIP!!!

This is where I do wonder about a civil case...

A total douche always does douche things. And Dani has always been a douche.

This is about the rights of the children. Not the ATA using them as pawns.

Giving the teachers a fair deal is in the public bests interest, you cowards @Alberta_UCP @ABDanielleSmith

Kinda like what all govt did in covid?

Wow using this clause could end unions. It should only be used attached to national harm

She is corrupt as hell.

Talk to me when she tramples the teachers with horses.

Oh give it a rest!

this, I believe is the beginning of the end of the UCP.

Time for a recall of all UCP cabinet ministers especially in vulnerable ridings. This is pathetic.

Punt the… party But I like what you were thinking.

So teachers and unions can hold society, kids and parents at hostage for their benefit and we as taxpayers have to pay them? Time to impose essential service for teachers etc.

With what parts of the Charter she overrode, the @YourAlberta government can now arrest any teacher for any reason, hold them indefinitely without charge, and the teachers would have no legal recourse for remedy. Everyone should concerned and irrate about this abuse of power....

The last proposal from the ATA was so reasonable, I wish more people would read it instead of believing the crap she’s spouting

Keep fighting Alberta teachers!✊ unions of BC are with you! Rip up the legislation and keep striking! ✊

Time for a #GeneralStrikeAB #abpoli

Teachers aren’t just striking for unreasonable demands. They are also ruining an entire semester of learning for our children.

The Alberta govt sees the people who live there as nothing but worker ants. Maybe it's time to remind the govt who gave them that power to lead.
