Alberta Politics


"The Alberta government has invoked the Charter’s notwithstanding clause to protect from legal challenge a trio of laws affecting transgender youth and adults."

Quin Bergman, an Edmonton high school student who skipped class to join others on the legislature grounds, said their sibling was driven to suicide by an onslaught of hate toward transgender people.

“It’s stuff like what the government is doing that makes people lose hope,” Bergman said.

Dr. Margot Burnell, the head of the Canadian Medical Association, said they are deeply disappointed in the government using the notwithstanding clause, saying it undermines patients’ rights and doctors’ ability to provide the best clinical care.
