flag Alberta uses notwithstanding clause to end teacher strike, forcing 51,000 teachers back to work.

flag Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe backed Alberta’s use of the notwithstanding clause to end a three-week teacher strike, calling it necessary to restore students to classrooms. flag Alberta invoked the clause to pass legislation forcing 51,000 teachers back to work, overriding Charter rights and banning strikes for three years. flag The move, which also restricts religious expression in schools and limits legal challenges, has drawn criticism over democratic process and rights erosion. flag Moe’s support follows his province’s prior use of the clause to restrict school name and pronoun changes. flag The notwithstanding clause, valid for five years, is now seen as increasingly common, raising concerns about normalizing constitutional overrides.
