Alberta Overrides Courts Again // New Pipeline News

Alberta's UCP government is going back to the notwithstanding clause for the second time in three weeks, in this case to protect three laws dealing specifically with transgender youth. Supporters of Premier Danielle Smith's strategy with Bill 9 say it ensures parents are involved in major decisions. Critics say it's an attack on rights and protections the LGBTQ2S+ rely on.  9:00 | Dr. Glynnis Lieb and Anna Murphy talk about the very real impacts they expect these laws to have on vulnerable youth in Alberta.  TELL US WHAT YOU THINK: [email protected]  FYREFLY INSTITUTE: https://www.ualberta.ca/en/fyrefly-institute/index.html 42:00 | Rumour has it Alberta and Ottawa are close to a deal that includes a new oil pipeline to the B.C. coast.
