I got an email from Leadnow recently and they used this phrase about Poilievre “flipping a kill switch” on the constitution. I usually trust their emails, but this is one of those instances where I wanted to double check this one. I copy pasted the phrase into a search engine and came across this video.
I wanted to ask: What are your thoughts on the notwithstanding clause? How should it be used exactly? How shouldn’t it be used? Should it be used/exist at all?
So tell me again, Conservatives, about how outraged you were about Trudeau using the Emergency Measures Act on a temporary basis about the Convoy?
Because if this is true, the hypocrisy is fucking palpable.
When ER was on the table, the Conservatives called Trudeau a dictator for the idea that he would use his recently earned majority mandate to legally change the election act. Now the CPC is saying they’ll override the charter for whatever they want, they’ve always been hypocrits, this is just the latest example.
