Alberta’s government used the notwithstanding clause to override workers’ rights, sparking concerns over democratic erosion and government overreach.
Alberta’s government has invoked the notwithstanding clause four times in 23 days—its first use in over 43 years—overriding rights including the right to strike, freedom of association, and collective bargaining for teachers and other public workers.
The moves, which force teachers back to work without a negotiated contract, have raised alarms about democratic erosion, government overreach, and threats to healthcare access and personal autonomy.
Critics warn the actions undermine constitutional protections and set a dangerous precedent, urging Albertans to remain vigilant and hold leaders accountable.
