Teachers' Bill 2 Fight Delayed by 10 Months

0:00It's April 21st. Welcome in. This is Calgary News Today, where local news meets AI. Alberta teachers are facing a big delay in their court fight against the provinces back to work law, Bill 2. The full hearing on whether it's constitutional got pushed back to the week of July 19th, 2027. That original date was the week of September 21st, 2026, so we're talking a full ten-month wait now. This all stems from last year's teacher strike. And the government used Bill 2 to force thousands back to classrooms. Just last month, the teachers lost their push for a quick injunction to pause the law. The delay lines up with two cases hitting the Supreme Court of Canada right now, both digging into similar issues like provinces using the notwithstanding clause. Teachers' association says they'll keep pushing forward, but this long wait means the legal battle stretches on while everyone watches those top court.
