The law isn’t a vibe. It’s what keeps Canada fair, equal, and (mostly) polite. 🇨🇦

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.

The UCP government has invoked time allocation and on a bill removing Albertans' Charter rights.
And they're using the notwithstanding clause to do it.
Here's why that is a dangerous precedent. And why real conservatives need to stand up against it.

They’re made-up clubs, invented and sold to the public by the people in power…

WATCH: The gloves are off! It’s been an under-reported scandal for quite a while that Pierre Poilievre refuses to apply for security clearance. It was a scandal EVEN BEFORE the most recent efforts to undermine Canada’s democracy, sovereignty and economy from Trump, Musk and the GOP.

This is a long read but it's important Canadians know this evil shit is happening here, and if Poilievre wins, it'll accelerate.
And we have got to start calling adults who are obsessed with policing the gender and sexuality of children by the proper term: creeps. These are intensely creepy people.
