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?
No. “These are your rights and freedoms as citizens and the government cannot violate them…unless they want to”. What’s the point of having rights if the government can ignore them?
