Federal Border Patrol agents hit the streets again on Sunday, their second day in a city home to a growing population of immigrants. It remains unclear how long they will stay.

A reminder:
1. Don’t stop contacting your UCP MLA, the Education Minister & the Premier to tell them you object to their preemptive use of the notwithstanding clause.
2. Be civil when you do. Don’t swear. Don’t lob insults. Just firmly express your opposition. #abpoli

An errant voicemail from a UCP MLA shows just how much pressure they're facing from constituents over their use of the notwithstanding clause.

There is speculation the UCP will invoke the notwithstanding clause tomorrow for its 3 laws restricting the rights of trans and gender diverse youth. This requires legislative amendment so will need to be voted on by the Leg. It is Transgender Awareness Week and this timing is beyond shameful.
@jenniferkoshan.bsky.social Jennifer this is correct I think. Smith is using the Notwithstanding Clause again. I wanted to check with the expert!
Is Danielle Smith using the Notwithstanding Clause a second time?!?!?!

When the UCP uses the notwithstanding clause tomorrow, watch defenders say, "it's totally legal" or "we had no choice."
They're deflecting.
The UCP wants to exact as much harm on transgender folks as possible. And they know their actions are not justifiable in a democratic society.
