So should the notwithstanding clause be invoked to overturn the supreme court ruling if it agrees with the petitioner?

Last one out turn the lights off.

I wonder is there a case to be made if only 7 provinces with a total of 50% of the population can fundamentally change the constitution, would that not lend some argument that a separatist vote in Quebec or Alberta and the constitution requirements created under the last Quebec referendum could or should be changed to follow this same logic verse the 10 provinces and federal government?

Everything in our system of control is another reason for Albertans to vote for separation from the corrupted Canadian system of government and law! Canada is corrupted and cannot be fixed!!!

Boy, do I ever wish Bruce Pardy was PM.

Given how super-saturated the Supreme Court is with leftist activist judges, it's not surprising they want to take up the only legislative control to their power.

Agree with the professor..a 3rd or new process needs to be put in place.. it came to mind as i listened ..

( I did think of our charter..it states we have freedoms if rights to the point of not interferring with the rights of others.

That happens all the time.. )

allow the 2 processess we have in pkace now, to happen.. if they agree so be it..if not a 3rd process..a trial of sorts of professionsls ..it works for trials.

12 men and women this time.. make a decision. No decision by this trial do again with 12 new people... JMO..

People need stability.. it worked before. Twisting the laws and rights to suit a particular problem. Is a problem.

Good discussion..

I will only repeat my comment once more. The LAW is an a-s and it needs to be continually looked at and changed, preferably as often as it is deemed necessary. Does it happen or will it happen-I think not. We all must remember that lawyers, judges, politicians are all HUMANS and essentially flawed. The Supreme court is no different. I rest my case. Comments, please.
