Once it's used, it's the slipperiest of slippery slopes. We can't allow politicians to pick and choose which rights they allow and which they effectively erase with the Clause. As invoking the Notwithstanding Clause becomes normalized, no one's rights are safe. Left, right, or centre.

David King sat at the Alberta cabinet table as the Minister of Education when the Notwithstanding Clause was discussed as part of the 1982 Constitution patriation project. He confirms it was never meant to be used the way it's being used by Smith's government now. calgaryherald.com/opinion/colu...

Alberta's Premier has used the Notwithstanding Clause to force teachers back to work, erasing their rights of bargaining. And she is scheduled to do it again later this week against trans kids. This cannot stand. Join this crucial fight: savethecharter.ca

⚠️ URGENT: Danielle Smith has invoked the Notwithstanding Clause to force teachers back to work, in addition to her plan to use the Clause to override trans rights. This is unprecedented and violates rights, overrides the courts, and puts everyone’s rights in danger. Act now: savethecharter.ca

Alberta's Premier has revealed plans to use the Notwithstanding Clause to pass laws that silence the courts and strip away rights. It’s the first time in Alberta’s history a Premier would override the Charter this way. Defend the Charter before it’s too late. savethecharter.ca

Extremely dangerous

Once one government learns it can override your fundamental rights, every government learns it can too. That’s the danger of the Notwithstanding Clause. It teaches power to ignore accountability. Draw the line. Defend the Charter. savethecharter.ca
