The first time an Alberta government invoked the notwithstanding clause, public outrage forced a reversal in less than 24 hours. I wish to God Albertans would show the same moral fury now, when school children are outed & bullied by the government that is supposed to protect them.

Hmmm, what’s the real issue here? oh right, it’s the hill too many are willing to let others die on…the right to ‘bear arms”… But, no, let’s blame it on ‘gender’ issues, let’s talk about anything other than the root cause of mass shootings. Legal access to guns.

Communication is at the heart of informed engagement. The CBC stands as one of the last bastions of fact checked news and culture in our fragmented media landscape. With Pierre Poilievre threatening to dismantle this invaluable institution in just 100 days, it’s time for action.
