Premier Danielle Smith wants to impose her ideology on everyday Albertans. Transgender people are just a convenient excuse, a convenient target and a convenient distraction.
-
She is legislating her political beliefs over the expertise of your family doctor and banning healthcare services some families need. Who do you trust more when it comes to your healthcare: a family physician or Premier Smith?
-
Under her policies, women and girls who play sports will be stripped of their privacy and shamed through government-mandated sex checks.
-
She’s creating school climates that are hostile to vulnerable young people. Do you want the next generation of LGBT students to grow up unsafe, taught to hate themselves and forced to hide who they are?
- She’s removing checks and balances on government power by overriding your charter-protected rights. She’s making it more normal for governments to undermine the freedom and rights of their citizens.
In Alberta, we believe in freedom - for everyone. We believe in supporting our neighbours and their families. We don't want government overreach. We want governments that respect our rights and freedoms.
Instead of uniting Albertans, Premier Smith is dividing us, and she's using the notwithstanding clause to override the rights and freedoms of transgender people in our province. We can't let her get away with it.
