National Post- Carney invites the Supreme Court to rewrite the Constitution — at democracy’s peril
The Charter’s notwithstanding clause exists to keep judges from usurping elected legislators. The feds want to take that away
National Post- Ottawa and the provinces prepare to battle in constitutional combat over notwithstanding clause
With a short, 20-odd page Supreme Court submission on Wednesday, the federal government struck a match and threw it onto a pile of Constitutional gasoline that was growing for years and primed to blow.
I wonder if this is pre-emptive and the next step will be to recind the legislation regarding separation? Can’t have those western serfs getting too upitty, can we?
lol whut ‘gets’ me is the notion that any serious move to divorce, is somehow premised on getting perrrrrrMISSion from some handful of Liberals.
no no no. ya do it like kaybek planned to when they narrowly missed in ’95.
(to use the french tq) ‘faite accompli’ style. aint dat right Monsieur Parizeau ???
do what the ribbit ribbit people do, do it ‘whatever works’ but get the blazes out before Canaduh BANKRUPTS you.
idjits.
I didn’t say it was legal, or moral, or going to happen that way, but yes. I do think that the Gliberals will presume that they need to be consulted and agree before the peons (aka us) will be “allowed” to decide for ourselves.
As I said earlier. A bunch of failed lawyers that will write in provisions will also erase them. The entire federal government is corrupt beyond repair. It operates just like its CCP masters in Peking.
So if you remove that section of the charter which was created to get the provinces support what keeps the country together after that?
“…what keeps the country together after that?”
Graft and corruption, I expect. That’s what keeps it together now.
That’s what unites the Liberal Party, alright.
The Liberals want absolute power, they can’t stand the idea that they don’t have it.
My impression is, they don’t particularly care about Quebec using the notwithstanding clause, they just want it gone before Alberta gets a chance to use it.
Exactly.
Every time I think Canadians have lost every possible right or freedom…it gets worse.
I hope the SCOC approves of this.
Yes, it could be dicey for awhile, but it’ll all come out in the wash.
Ring around the collar?
Remember Louis Riel?
Alberta- we’ll take CFB Cold Lake
Quebec- we got Bagotville
Carney’s left with an anxious USA order for 100 F-35s
Well I guess what that might mean is that in cases where a provincial government might have invoked the Notwithstanding Clause, any directives from the feds or the courts will simply have to be ignored,.
