WATCH: The battle over the Notwithstanding Clause
In the latest episode of ‘Not “Sorry”’ host Alexander Brown delves into Canada’s escalating constitutional crisis, spotlighting the Notwithstanding Clause as a bulwark against an activist judiciary
In the latest episode of ‘Not “Sorry”’ on Juno News, host Alexander Brown, Director of the National Citizens Coalition, delves into Canada’s escalating constitutional crisis, spotlighting the Notwithstanding Clause as a bulwark against an increasingly activist judiciary.
Brown emphasizes that Section 33 isn’t a loophole but a cornerstone of the Charter, designed to preserve parliamentary supremacy amid Liberal efforts to curb its use and seemingly further empower left-leaning judges.
Alberta’s recent invocation of the clause under Premier Danielle Smith to end a disruptive teachers’ strike underscores the clause’s role in prioritizing public interest over prolonged union and special-interest demands.
And after a deeply troubling Supreme Court ruling on October 31, that struck down one-year mandatory minimum sentences for possessing or accessing child pornography in a 5-4 decision, concerns are mounting that judicial overreach is softening penalties for heinous crimes, based on hypothetical scenarios rather than prioritizing the needs of law and order, and the need to protect Canadians from violent and depraved offenders.

Premiers like Danielle Smith, Scott Moe, Doug Ford, and former Alberta Premier Jason Kenney have all urged Ottawa to deploy the Notwithstanding Clause to reinstate tough sentences. Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre’s fiery condemnation goes one step further, labeling the ruling “disgusting” and vowing to use the clause to overturn it if elected, ensuring predators face prison time.
Guest Josh Dehaas, counsel for the Canadian Constitution Foundation, unpacks the mess, warning of judicial supremacy eroding the rights of Canadians and potentially pitching Canada into a constitutional crisis from coast to coast. The pair dissect how these events signal a broader problem: unelected judges, either out-of-touch or deficient in principles, who continue to override elected officials, threatening Canada’s foundational balance.

Will need to use the Clause to stop the native grab of Richmond, BC and elsewhere if appeals fail, just another layer of leftist judges.
It became obvious to many that with the election of the fraud that was Justine, lover of weird socks, Turdeau in 2015 that Canada was on the path to a bad place.
As the years progressed that observation only grew and grew although the clue was that last jerks prognostication that Canada would soon become a Post National State.
It took almost ten years for the glitter to fall of an idiot who was so far above his pay grade that even running a lemonade stand might have proved a difficult task for him.
Then, the back room manipulators in the bowels of the Lieberal party decided they could no longer have this jerk around and so the kabuki theatre began to find a new leader although these manipulators had already chosen Mark Carney. The rest was theatre to fool the masses.
.... AND SO...
Carney, the WEF Principle, runner of Brookfield, UN Consultant, Globalist, Environmentalist and hated Governor of the BoE, US Investing and off-shore money hider and tax avoider and "Proud European" stole policies from the Conservatives that appealed to voters with never really a thought of implementing them, then raised his elbows and lied his way to becoming Canada's replacement PM for the last fraud and gave the Lieberals another kick at the can that started with the jerk with the fetish for weird socks.
.... Was asking the mostly Liberal appointed Supremees to decide on the use of a Clause that was the primary reason for the acceptance of the Charter in the first place a mistake??
Well... You can either think it was or rather see it for what it basically will be if the Liberal lovers who make of their own fantasies at Canada's Supreme Court decide to limit the use of something they have no authority over and which was specifically included to reign them in.
That something....
To complete the job the sock fetish thing started in 2015.
Divide Canada even further and BRING IT DOWN.
Accidental and a mistake???
I think not.
