No, the Supreme Court is not an obstacle to tougher laws against child porn
Yesterday the Supreme Court issued a decision striking down mandatory minimum sentences in the context of possessing or accessing child pornography.

The use of the #notwithstandingclause to force the end of strikes was a predictable consequence of the Supreme Court deciding in 2015 that the right to strike was guaranteed by the Charter — in direct contradiction of the Supreme Court's decision in 1987 […]

The first strikes weren't legal.

It's time to go full France.

I hear that pumpkins hold gasoline pretty well, and when full, are hard to move.

The hypocrisy of Premier Smith's current Chief of Staff, Rob Anderson:

The government is acting like a "dictator" by ripping away legal rights to impose a settlement.

"That's wrong. That's not the Alberta way. That's not what we do here."

"Withstanding" by @shanekoyczan.bsky.social
#teachers #Alberta #notwithstandingclause #inequity #students #education #ABpoli #classes
Wanted to post something for the #teachers in #Alberta who are having their rights violated by their own government and being forced back to work. Smaller class sizes allow teachers to focus on a students needs and insure a higher quality education. This is an excerpt from a piece I wrote called “Withstanding” It is not problem solving to demand that those with little continue to do more with less until less finally equals the nothing more they can do the cost of living goes up when the fine to withstand starts adding rights to the bill when the penalty to resist is more per day than the years long work that pays their rent or their mortgage or their bills or their or or or and the so much more of it that touches down like lightning each time life happens which is as often and unrelenting as it is always pick on someone your own wage instead of voting up your own worth trying to make gravity another law you can afford to break thinking you can live above the people instead of beside them your job is to serve the people not amputate their legs from under them to stand behind the people and be trusted not to aim at their backs down the barrel of an economy watching them drop in the muck that hasn’t yet touched your own boots when the assignment is to face the music you won’t even show up for attendance but somehow expect gold stars and a passing grade for the test you are failing the homework you have now will come from the blaring thunder of a textbook crashing against the desk it will account for 100% of your grade because the lesson is heavy and failure is the strictest teacher.

Canada’s provinces are discovering a new governing strategy: When the courts might say no, use the notwithstanding clause. Federalism was supposed to protect democracy.

blackbyrdcalgary Morning everyone, We struggle to call this a "good morning" for, as many of you know, last night, while the premier fled the country, our legislature passed Bill 2, forcing a workforce of 55,000 wounded teachers back to their overcrowded and underfunded classrooms through the contemptible use of strong arm tactics. While many of you who come by our shop to take part in our beloved community recognize our morals and values, we generally keep our posting strictly to music. It's a shared passion that has brought so many of you into our lives, allowed us to forge friendships, to open dialogues, and to speak in a universal language. We feel strongly - vehemently - that what this province witnessed in the past 24 dark hours calls for more precise language: We are appalled, deeply saddened, bluntly fearful of the actions taken by the Alberta government and, with whatever meager platform we entertain, condemn it wholeheartedly.

@sandydz.bsky.social
#DanielleSmith needs to control everything. It is a characteristic of #narcissism.

The use of the #NotWithStandingClause to end the teacher's strike is one way to impose control.

Narcissistic leadership always ends up looking like fascism.

Narcissists are all the same.

Premier @ABDanielleSmith has created a constitutional crisis by using the Notwithstanding Clause to break the teachers' strike.

The crisis?

The Charter of Rights and Freedoms protects Canadians' freedom of association, the constitutional basis for collective bargaining.

Danielle Smith knows that what she's doing is violence towards teachers, students, and public education in Alberta. She refuses to listen to the people whom she was elected to represent.
