sure that's why the decision was judicially reviewed even though it was moot.But isn't that the whole point of the Charter? Popular opinion can't override rights...unless you're Quebec.
but as you say, "popular opinion" seems not to always care about Charter rights. which I think is the case here.
plus, the way Dougie and Francois have been using the notwithstanding clause (and being reelected), maybe folks care less about Charter rights than they ought to...
or, phrased differently, I think Trudeau's decision was popular, even if what it did was unconstitutional.
