"I know the member opposite likes to think himself as judge, jury and executioner, but we do have due process in this province," Smith said.
So that's why she invoked the Notwithstanding Clause to deny affected trans youth the ability to challenge her laws in court, right?
What a fucking hypocrite.

The UCP, having been in power since 2019, will take this opportunity to blame the NDP, which formed government for 4 (four) years. #AbLeg

Just so I'm clear, the UCP conspiracy theorists think there's a secret leftist organization behind the recall petitions, but this same all-powerful organization couldn't get their act together to vote in the NDP last election?

Canadians should be furious over this!
Canada should be focused on nation-building. Instead we are getting sucked into a needless pipeline war to appease Moe and Danielle Smith.
If the PM tries to kill the tanker ban without consulting BC premier Eby or First Nations he will be in for the fight of his life.
And he will lose.
