Alberta uses Charter’s notwithstanding clause to order striking teachers back to work

Premier Danielle Smith’s government introduced a bill Monday using the Charter of Rights and Freedoms notwithstanding clause to order 51,000 striking teachers back to work to end the largest walkout in Alberta history. If the bill passes, students would be back in classes Wednesday, and Smith has promised fast-tracked passage in the house.The move puts Smith’s government on a potential collision course with more than 350,000 workers in other provincial unions, which promised an “unprecedented response” if the government invoked the clause to override teachers’ constitutional rights to assemble.Some teachers and supporters were in the legislature chamber gallery and there were shouts of “Shame!” as Finance Minister Nate Horner formally introduced the bill.Smith earlier told reporters the si...

Trump administration must restore grants for school counselors, judge rules – National

The Trump administration must release millions of dollars in grants meant to address the shortage of mental health workers in schools, a federal judge ruled Monday.

But President Donald Trump’s administration opposed diversity considerations used to award the grants and told recipients they wouldn’t receive funding past December 2025.The preliminary ruling by Kymberly K. Evanson, a U.S. District Court judge in Seattle, applies only to some grantees in the sixteen Democratic-led states that challenged the Education Department’s decision. In Madera...

British Columbia Premier David Eby said Monday his province will go ahead with an American ad campaign targeting U.S. President Donald Trump’s “unfair and absurd” lumber tariffs, despite Trump blowing up trade talks with Canada over Ontario’s anti-tariff ad. “It is absolutely essential that we talk to Americans about the implications of tariffs, about the fact that trade policy in the United States right now is governed not by logic, not by economics, not by relationship, but by something else entirely,” Eby told reporters in Victoria, B.C.“We are going to exercise all of our ability to get the word out, including advertising. We reserve the right to do that.”Eby announced last Thursday that B.C. will roll out digital ads in the U.S. next month “to explain who wins and who loses” after Tru...
