Saskatchewan's premier says he'll use the notwithstanding clause to override a court injunction that has paused the province's new pronoun policy for students. But a professor says the clause is meant to be used as a tool of last resort.

I don’t think it takes a legal scholar to see that no judge is going to let you take away children’s rights because they’re LGTQ.

And yes, choosing what people call you or what pronouns are used is a right.

It’s harassment to purposefully call someone the wrong pronoun, so why is it fine to do to children?
