The “No More Pipelines Act,” Bill C-69, ruled largely unconstitutional by Supreme Court of Canada
This is shocking. Name one other Liberal policy this Supreme Court has shot down? It totally massacred all the Conservative tough on crime measures (and look where we are now on crime…) So to do this is eye opening. However, I don’t get how the law isn’t struck down it it’s unconstitutional. Canadian Press wrote it, not me.
Just added:
what sayest the empty hair and Hans Gruber the environment minister ??
I’m shocked.
TurdHole will just invoke the Notwithstanding Clause.
In a contest with the Provinces, I don’t think this would fly. They will have to seek another way to destroy the oil industry.
The court asserted that the law tried to over-ride provincial rights and laws. Good shut down the government over reach.
Rose, I would be satisfied with burning out their bureaucracy and shutting down the government period!
I’m not advocating for no government, just for a sensible and useful government rebuild.
Yeah, I know sensible and useful is an oxymoron in our great white north, but just about anything would be an improvement over what we currently have now.
Doesn’t matter. The people who wrote the law and voted it into force, did so knowing it was unconstitutional. They knew it would be struck down. They also knew that the process of getting it before the Supreme Court would take a number of years. By then, the intended economic damage will have been done. The ships that were impending energy projects have sailed. The investment that was killed, is gone with the wind. That was the intent. A plan was implemented, and successfully prosecuted.
Unconstitutional federal force was applied, and the intended result was achieved. End of story.
What is all this babble of “Constitution”.
Canada has none.
Every line of the so called Constitution and That Charter of Rights and freedoms..are LIES.
In Human Rights Tribunal inquisitions,Truth ..is no defence!
As ruled by this same “Supreme Court.
Confederation and the Separation of Powers is constantly ignored and corrupted.
And after the Idiocy of Ottawa,you know you have neither Individual Rights nor Freedoms,as ,once again,this same court has ruled..
“When your government has declared “Emergency” The Charter shall be ignored!”
Emergency of course ,being the confession of your “Government” that they are in a state of panic and have reverted to Open Thuggery.
So what citizen still believes these idiots have our consent to govern?
Exactly as Bill Greenwood says, Bill C-69 has already served its purpose.
Destroying the trust needed for investment in Canadian Resource Development.
Mocking the Magna Carta.
Making up the rules,to serve the agenda.
King John would be so proud.
Exactly the same playbook as used against the Truckers,now being abused in court,for activities which were perfectly legal at the time they were carried out…
Same with legal gun owners,made criminal with the stroke of a keyboard..
Emperor Trudeau,the Petulant..says “It is good to be King”.
As to “unconstitutional” vs. “struck down”, in theory we have a constitution in this country which determines which level of government can take which actions. A government which acts in a way it is not authorised to do – dealing with matter over which it has no authority – is acting unconstutionally, and its acts are void, and have no legal effect.
A court considering the actions of a government has first to determine if the actions are constitutional. In this case, they aren’t. So the actions are simply void and without effect.
Only if the actions involved are in fact constitutional do they have any effect, and in that case they become subject to Charter scrutiny. The Charter is not the same as the US Bill of Rights; it does not restrict or limit the power of government to act as it wishes. It only allows the courts to strike down constitutional acts that they consider to have objectionable effects. Canadian journalists simply assume that the Charter sets out constitutional standards like the US Bill of Rights, but it doesn’t. An American law that violates the Bill of Rights is by definition unconstitutional; a Canadian law can’t violate the Charter unless it is constitutional.
In theory, anyway. Obviously it’s all crap.
Only possible explanation: one of the santa-clause suits suffered a power cut or saw their heating bill jacked up and suddenly thought there might be a thing called “reality”.
