When a President calls for the death of lawmakers protecting the oath military members take to the Constitution (NOT the President), you are watching a full-blown Constitutional Crisis. This is the ultimate test of our democracy. We cannot look away.

The President of the United States is publicly calling for the political prosecution of his political opponents, urging the death penalty because they urged soldiers to uphold the rule of law. This should be front page news everywhere. It is not, which tells much about how we got to this point.

When a sitting president calls for death to lawmakers, itβs not a warning sign, itβs the emergency siren. He is talking like a dictator and telling you exactly how he plans to use his power. This is how democracies fall and how dictatorships begin.

The UCP touts itself as a small, freedom-loving government. Objectively, using the notwithstanding clause goes against both of those notions.

Let me be very clear. It is not enough that RFK Jr. was forced to admit today that no causal relationship between Tylenol and autism has been shown. We know that while disinformation spreads like wildfire on social media, corrections most often die on the vine.

Alberta's use of the notwithstanding clause in Bill 2 means that courts wonβt be able to strike down the law even if it violates the Charter.

In more Alberta news, we don't yet have details of the returning to school and the Parent Society is already emailing with excitement about the school fundraiser this week. If we raise enough pledges, maybe we can fund our provincial education. Super glad we pay taxes though.

I'm appalled by the use of the notwithstanding clause to override the Charter rights of workers. And people need to know that not only did the province use S.33, but they also suspended teachers' rights under the Alberta Human Rights Act and Bill of Rights.
