We, the undersigned, Concerned Allies of Transgender Canadians, call upon the Minister of Health to Recommend and support, within Cabinet, the exercise of the Government of Canada’s constitutional authority, including the power of disallowance under section 90 of the Constitution Act, 1867, to annul or repeal provincial legislation enacted in Alberta and Saskatchewan that restricts the rights of transgender and gender-diverse people and has been shielded from Charter scrutiny through the use of the notwithstanding clause, and to affirm the federal government’s responsibility to uphold Charter rights across Canada.

It's very ironic (not in a funny way at all) that I'm currently studying the guide about Canada and its laws for a citizenship test, and i barely started studying it, yet I've seen Many examples of politicians breaking laws left and right, and pushing and signing legislations that are so obviously against the Canadian charter and the freedom act.

Maybe that test should be a requirement for anyone before they are allowed to take a position of power in the government. It is messed up that the immigrants, which a lot of those nincompoops are against, know way more about Canadian laws than them.

It buys you ~10 years. Keep your eyes open for the next window of opportunity.
