🇨🇦 ⚠️ Hey Alberta, Time For Action!

Alberta’s governing United Conservatives stayed up into the early pre-dawn hours of Wednesday morning to pass a bill that marks the fourth time in under two months they have used the Charter’s notwithstanding clause.🏳️‍⚧️

The bill confirms the government’s intention to use the notwithstanding clause to shield from legal challenge each of three current laws affecting transgender people.

The set of three laws will police names and pronouns in school, ban transgender girls from participating in amateur female sports, and restrict gender-affirming health care for youth under 16.

The latter prohibits doctors from prescribing puberty blockers and hormone therapy for those under 16.

For the fourth time in two months, the Trumpian province of Alberta, Canada has invoked the Notwithstanding Clause of the Constitution - protecting them from court challenges to their removing human rights to its citizens. And then done so.

“#FirstNations, as founding partners in the creation of #Alberta, cannot be ignored or bypassed as Alberta contemplates its future whether that is part of #Canada or not...The transformation of provincial and territorial borders into international borders would contravene the Numbered Treaties by significantly impairing the exercise of Treaty rights by First Nations.”

M. Guilbeault, qui multiplie les sorties publiques sur ce sujet, publie mardi une lettre ouverte dans laquelle il affirme que le protocole d’entente signé par Ottawa «ressemble davantage à une vente au rabais plutôt (qu’à) un grand compromis»

«Oui, l’ordre politique et économique mondial a été bouleversé, mais le climat, lui, ne nous attendra pas», conclut-il

But if Alberta strengthens its industrial carbon price, the federal clean electricity regulations would be suspended in the province
that granting such an exemption could undermine climate policy nationwide — effectively inviting provinces to petition for their own carve-outs

"Real equivalency agreements have to show their math," "They have to demonstrate that those lost emissions reductions from one policy are being recovered by another."

"Le défi d’utiliser la tarification carbone comme politique climatique, c’est que vous pouvez soit être sincère et en faire une politique efficace, soit faire semblant d’agir et mettre en place une politique qui n’a finalement aucun impact "

Ce qu’elle a entendu et observé lui fait craindre que le gouvernement albertain ait choisi la deuxième voie
