⚠️ URGENT UPDATE: Premier Danielle Smith has now used the Notwithstanding Clause TWICE.

First to force teachers back to work with Bill 2.
Now to override trans rights through Bill 9.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

Here's how to turn it off.
