  • but "common sense"???

    /s

    1. As part of constitutional negotiations, the Notwithstanding Clause was added. In a sense, the Notwithstanding Clause was literally needed to help form Canada itself repatriate the Canadian constitution.
    2. Invoking the Notwithstanding Clause, is time limited to 5 years. At which point, it was originally thought that it's use was either going to be politically costly or accepted by society. Though, with winner-take-all electoral systems, the electorate can't really hold politicians accountable anyway.
  • Emphasis my own.

    The question before the Supreme Court was whether the one-year prison sentence for accessing and possessing child pornography set out in the Criminal Code violated the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which protects against cruel and unusual punishment.

    The top court said it was only weighing the constitutionality of the mandatory minimum sentences, and not whether the sentences imposed on the two men were appropriate.

    But there's so much misinformation among conservatives... They're obviously going for the headlines, and low information voters.

    Has Doug Ford cancelled the Therme deal? NOPE. But he should. Here's why… The Ford government got hoodwinked. The Therme deal will cost every household in Ontario - $400 each.

    David Macdonald: All parties want to help low-income folks. Here’s how much they do combining tax cut & transfer boost proposals. The NDP provides avg $653/year/person. CPC and Libs basically nothing
