🚨 🚨 UPDATE: Today, the Government of Alberta has introduced Bill 9 which uses the notwithstanding clause to restrict the rights of trans and gender diverse people across the province. There is still time to make your voice heard before this legislation passes! Personal emails still make an impact. Flooding inboxes is how we show the government Albertans are watching and will not stay silent.
The Alberta government has introduced discriminatory anti-trans laws and is now using the notwithstanding clause to overrride the Charter of Rights and Freedoms and force them into effect.
This clause blocks the courts–but not us. The Alberta government may try their best to silence judges, but they cannot silence the public.
The legislation has been introduced. That gives us just days to make sure all of our voices are heard. Direct emails are tracked, reviewed, and can’t be ignored. The more we send, the stronger we look.
Why this matters:
The law is being debated in the legislature now.
Public outrage right now will set the tone.
The clause doesn’t protect the government from political pressure.
