Our Charter rights are what is at stake here. Clarity on this is important.
I wrote this to bring the issue back to where it belongs: your personal rights and freedoms.

3/8 Fail #2: The Teachers' Strike.

When teachers struck over class sizes and underfunding, the #UCP didn't negotiate. They used the #NotwithstandingClause to force a contract.

This sidesteps democratic norms and sends a clear message: "Teachers’ voices don’t matter to the UCP."

McGowan frames this against a backdrop of scandal—from procurement chaos to the #NotwithstandingClause.

He argues the government has "a lot to hide."

It is dangerous of Bruce McCallister & other #ucp members to spread misinformation about this marginalized group

This will likely lead to further discrimination & violence & ⬆️ the risk of suicide

Worse, using the #notwithstandingclause has legitimized these conspiracy theories
