S05E05 A Sea Change on the Horizon?
Manage episode 402403176 series 2763787
Lawyer Marty Moore gives us a round-up of court cases involving gender issues and parental rights across Canada. Starting in New Brunswick, the fight moved west to Saskatchewan and then into Alberta with new policy announcements by Premier Danielle Smith. Court challenges in Alberta, he believes, are inevitable. If the province opts to use the Notwithstanding Clause, as the government did in Saskatchewan, there is a potential for a sea change in how constitutional questions are settled, as more provinces move to overrule activist courts.
