In December, Smith’s government invoked the Charter’s notwithstanding clause on the transgender rules.

The notwidthstanding clause should not be allowed to over ride international medical consensus, see WPATH.

    So if I’m parsing this correctly

    Alberta laws deny transgender healthcare

    A court case is challenging the law

    The people behind the case want to Amend their challenge

    and a Judge has denied the request?

    Kind of feels like a string of double negatives. Alberta teens can not not not not not get healthcare.

      Smith decided she knows better than the WHO and WPATH so she used the notwidthstanding clause preventing health care of minors who are Trans or Gender Diverse. The organizations that the judge denied where fighting the use of the notwidstanding clause.
