I assume that Alberta separatists will be working a regular day on Wednesday and not taking advantage of the holiday celebrating a country they claim to want to leave. Right?
Only ucp MLAs will get a vote on this committee. Not a single teacher there.
They’re going to use screening and refuse to put limits on classroom complexity bc their plan is to segregate kids who need learning supports. I’d bet money on it.
AMA Section of Pediatrics sent a letter to Minister of Education Nicolaides outlining concerns with the growing gap between children's needs in our classrooms and available classroom resources. https://t.co/sYbOq9B4By
Anytime anyone claims that Smith used the Notwithstanding clause in a way that Peter Lougheed would have approved of…
Feel free to share this from his 1998 paper that makes it clear that absolutely isn’t the case.

First, the UCP didn’t listen to teachers.
Then, the UCP ignored their pleas.
Now, the UCP is silencing them.
How evil do you have to be to take away someone’s rights because they dared advocate for children?
Wake up AB. Stand with teachers. #FireTheUCP#abed#Ableg
Let's be clear about what happened today.
Premier Smith introduced a bill to strip Albertans of Charter rights,
denied MLAs the opportunity to debate it and the courts the ability to scrutinize it,
and did all of this from her seat on a jet to Saudi Arabia.
An appalling, unjust, law drives teachers back to work. The most dangerous precedent Alberta has seen In many years. Column.

Amazing. Wab Kinew seems to be the only premier in Canada who understands that a provincial government should not have the power to take away its citizen’s rights.
That’s what freedom actually looks like.

Meanwhile, in Manitoba…
At least one premier has a grasp of just how serious using the notwithstanding clause is…
And is taking steps to ensure that at least one province doesn’t use it before hearing from the courts.
