Alberta’s government is making waves with its use of the notwithstanding clause — and the implications are profound. In this episode, Shane Hewitt and Rob Breakenridge unpack what it means for collective bargaining rights, democratic norms, and the future of Alberta’s education system.

From the forced end to a teacher strike to the broader challenge of attracting and retaining educators, the conversation spotlights the political and practical fallout. The episode also examines a symbolic shake-up across the pond: King Charles stripping Prince Andrew of royal titles amid the Epstein scandal — a discussion on accountability at the highest levels.
