What @demetriosnAB described today as an “impossible task” is literally the norm in thousands of classrooms across Alberta. Instead of working with teachers to quickly and effectively address these impossibilities, he chose to strip teachers of their rights. #abpoli#abed#ableg
The Notwithstanding Clause – Meant for Balance, used for Control
The notwithstanding clause was added to Canada’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms in 1982 as a narrow safeguard, not a political weapon. It was meant for rare, exceptional cases - when a court ruling unintentionally overreached and threatened the democratic will of the people.
With Bill 2, the “Back to Work” legislation, this Wildrose government crossed that line. This isn’t about provincial jurisdiction - it’s about using state power to override individual rights whenever they get in the way of political objectives.
By invoking the clause to force teachers back to work, the government chose control over collaboration.
Teachers deserve respect and dialogue, not coercion. They’ve carried Alberta’s classrooms through overcrowding, complexity, and years of under-resourcing. Forcing compliance isn’t leadership - it’s constitutional abuse.
True conservatives value restraint, accountability, and freedom. The Charter ensures no government can strip away basic rights without scrutiny.
By normalizing the notwithstanding clause as a political tool, this Wildrose government weakens protections that belong to every Albertan - not just today, but for generations.
Strong leaders listen before legislating.
Albertans want solutions - not scapegoats.

“Children don’t wake up in the morning thinking, ‘How can I make my teacher’s life difficult today?’ Every behavior is a form of communication — a message about hunger, exhaustion, fear, or unmet needs. When we look beyond the behavior and listen with empathy and compassion, we see the emotion and the story beneath — and that’s where true teaching, connection, understanding, and healing begin.”
Across Canada, every province west of Quebec has class size limits—except Alberta. Our teachers and students deserve better. #StoptheExcuses#KidsCantWaitAB#Abed#Ableg

Here is a great 20 min video that summarizes The Anxious Generation with a narration accompanied by engaging images. It's especially strong on the play side of the story. Thank you @academyofideas
We are wasting the resource of our special education teachers if we limit them mostly to helping students complete work. Their skills can reach so much farther when they are in the role of co-designing instruction. #LeadInclusion#TeacherTwitter#InclusiveEd#EdLeaders
When students reach high school math, play typically disappears from the curriculum. It doesn't have to. @MathforLove
High School Math Can Be Playful, Too
