Senator Paula Simons🇨🇦<p>When Merv Leitch and Peter Lougheed created the notwithstanding clause, they couldn't have imagined a Canada where premiers could invoke the clause without political or moral hazard. The Senate is now debating a provocative proposition. Should we vow, preemptively, to refuse to pass any law that preemptively deploys the clause? Here's my take - which starts with a little history lesson. <a href="https://youtu.be/IEnAWFmLdjE?si=8pSfngoXZJ2fYDMV" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">youtu.be/IEnAWFmLdjE?si=8pSfng</span><span class="invisible">oXZJ2fYDMV</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/SenateofCanada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SenateofCanada</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/NotwithstandingClause" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NotwithstandingClause</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/cdnpoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>cdnpoli</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Alberta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Alberta</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/abpoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>abpoli</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Vriend" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Vriend</span></a></p>
