#Provinces
To get buy-in from all 10 provinces (which it didn't), Canada's constitution has a clause allowing provinces to override its fundamental rights and freedoms. The framers -- I've spoken to some -- imagined it used in existential-crisis cases. Well, a province just used it to break a teachers' strike

Just like Hermey Shandro ripping up doctors’ contracts.

It’s utter disdain for public employees to the benefit of neigbouring provinces.

“Smith claimed on Monday that Bill 2 “is exactly the kind of circumstance that I believe Peter Lougheed had in mind when he argued so hard on behalf of provinces to include the notwithstanding clause.”

This is incorrect.”

Abolish the fucking provinces
What the Alberta government just did should worry all Canadians.

When they legislated striking teachers back to work, they went a step further:

They used the notwithstanding clause.

This is part of a worrying trend.

Canadian provinces are doing this to us, right now, slowly destroying post-secondary education. Carney is about to do it to research too.
It's really incredible that the USA has absolutely wrecked itself on higher education, tourism and scientific research.

So much of American soft power is based on it, and they just keep punching themselves in the balls.
So many own goals.
Once again: higher ed is one of our most successful exports. We export more higher ed to China than soybeans. And yet Trump and the mini-Trumps are deliberately destroying the quality of our product

The most important thing about the ad is Trump’s response to it. trib.al/AHGEdp8

Imposing an additional 10 percent tariff on Canadian goods because one of their provinces ran an ad during the World Series demolishes the legal justifications for Trump’s tariff policy.

Things we remember from elementary school for no obvious reason

I remember the name of the author of my grade 5 geography textbook.

And I remember learning about macadam roads from the book

Why, brain?

Ontario is suffering too.

Seems to be a pattern amongst Conservative-led provinces.

The Provinces, when they suspended Charter Rights, should be subject to the same mandatory Public Inquiry that the Federal government does if they invoke the Emergencies Act.

While she’s gone, let’s cut “the waste” by amalgamating the three prairie provinces under a single provincial government lead by Premier Wab Kinew and his MLAs. No need to have three prairie provinces, three premiers. Think of the savings. 🇨🇦

Lougheed was also the fascist traitor who put the notwithstanding clause in, so that provinces could trample on human rights.

So, fuck him, fuck the UCP, and fuck every nazi conservative!

Conservatives have always been trying to destroy democracy.
