This is the Alberta government saying the rights of trans kids to receive life-saving health care, go by their own pronouns at school or play on sport teams don’t matter as much as the Smith government’s right to dictate their lives.

Alberta's Danielle Smith is just the latest Conservative premier to use the Notwithstanding Clause to pre-emptively shield government legislation from court challenge and review. It's time for voters to send them all a message. www.nationalobserver.com/2025/11/20/o...
The use of the Notwithstanding Clause is out of control. It’s up to voters to stop it
The architects of Canada's Charter of Rights and Freedoms thought the Notwithstanding Clause would only be used in exceptional circumstances. Conservative premiers seem determined to prove them wrong.
