I will get banned again soon, worry not.
Well PET got away with being a bachelor, which is something no US politician with ambitions for the White House can even think about being.

Now that he's out of work, Smith will probably hire him as the new head of the Alberta Health Service.

What exactly did she think Halloween was about for the previous 45 years of her life?
A celebration of Jesus?

She's letting a good horse face costume go to waste. Oh wait. That's her actual face.

So for all the talk of Trudeau and the Liberals being tyrants, Doug Ford and the PC’s just invoked the notwithstanding clause of the Charter of Rights for the third time today.
This time, to strip education workers of the right to strike and collectively bargain, and to impose a new contract on them.
Kinda heading down a slippery slope where none of the rights guaranteed in the Charter are worth the paper they’re printed on.

Did you hear that? I think I hear the Freedom Convoy warming up their engines to fight for the labour freedoms of their fellow Canadians.
.......my mistake, I actually don't hear a thing from them.

No, the Feds can over rule if they decide to get involved. It all happens so rarely that there's barely precedent for anything here, so who knows. If I'm Justin right now though, after finding out how hard Dougie tried to fuck me with the Convoy, I'd be apt to stir up some shit though.
It's supposed to be politically damaging to do this shit. It's one of those whole "norm" things that are supposed to hold the system up when the rules get abused.

I see, thanks. People's memories are short. By next election cycle this will be a distant memory. Interested to if feds do anything.

Throughout its history, the notwithstanding clause has most often been used by Quebec, no doubt.
Though if we’re talking about Francois Legault & Doug Ford specifically, Doug was the first to use it.
When both came to power in 2018, Ontario had never used it before and the most recent time Quebec had used it was 2005. But then Dougie broke the seal on it in order to empower himself to get some petty payback on his enemies in Toronto city council and slash the number of council seats in half in the middle of a municipal election.
