The first strikes weren't legal.

It's time to go full France.

I hear that pumpkins hold gasoline pretty well, and when full, are hard to move.

@cbcnews @canada-cbcnews the notwithstanding clause makes the wrong balance between democratically elected government and individual and collective human rights. It was designed as an emergency measure, and now it's become boilerplate. It's been abused.

@evan The #NotwithstandingClause should be only a break-glass sort of measure, yes. But it's being used more frequently these days because courts are striking down laws on less plausible interpretations of the Charter. There are even recent cases in which the Supreme Court has reversed itself on what the correct interpretation of the Charter should be: https://www.readtheline.ca/p/brian-dijkema-i-defended-the-courts
