The province-level Conservative Party (UPC) in Alberta is using the “Notwithstanding Clause” a STAGGERING 4TH TIME IN UNDER 2 MONTHS to ignore the Canadian Charter of Rights & Freedoms. In this Alberta Govt, extremist ideology is clearly a lot more important than human rights and the rule of law.
Premier’s use of the Charter of Rights & Freedoms “Notwithstanding Clause” is supposed to be VERY RARE, to address blatant Judicial overreach.
Smith in Alberta would use it to blatantly erase human rights, the CORE OF THE CHARTER.
Ford in Ontario would use it to backstop his own BLATANT OVERREACH.

Just in case you weren’t sure how awful Doug ford is. The courts ruled against him based on the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms because PEOPLE WILL DIE IF HE REMOVES SAFE BIKE INFRASTRUCTURE. So he’s considering ABUSING the Notwithstanding Clause just for ego and some cheap suburban votes.

41 minutes of watching two shipwrecked men trying to flip a boat and signaling for surrender/help before firing on them again reminds me of the 9.5 minutes Derek Chauvin knelt on George Floyd’s neck, in that it’s an agonizingly long time to be killing helpless people who clearly posed no threat.
