    This will take us down a bad path if we start wanting governments to overrule the independent judiciary for doing it’s job in ensuring that government’s laws are compliant with the charter.

    Essentially the CPC can make protesting for environmental or the Palestinian protests illegal and then basically hold people for however how long the CPC is in power until they get voted out since Section 33 applies to Sections 2 and 7 to 15.

    My dude thinks he’s palpatine.

    You know, conservatives put an awful lot of faith in the assumption that no one else will ever treat them like they threaten and bluster about treating others.

    Just saying.
