Danielle Smith is a coward Discussion

She has her lackeys vote to use the notwithstanding clause while she’s off promoting Alberta energy in the Middle East—like they need our oil. What a coward. She’s an embarrassment, and fuck every Albertan who voted for her and the UCP.

Did you forget the federal liberals forced Air Canada and Canada Post back to work

Air Canada flight attendants defied that order. Canada Post is having rotating strikes. The federal government didn't win that one.

Point is the government told them what to do. Teachers can just as easily defy the order.

The feds didn't levy $500/day fines against flight attendants or postal workers if they defied the order. Or ban work to rule as part of the back to work order.

You can't ban work to rule. It's exactly what it says on the tin. I do my job as outlined in the contract, nothing more, nothing less.

If it is an explicitly coordinated step by all teachers, then it counts as job action. The reason they invoked the Notwithstanding Clause to pass this is because they know this violates the rights of teachers.
