Charter Statement On Bill C-34 is Weaponized Idiocy
The Canadian government published a charter statement on the age verification bill and it's just a sight to behold how bad it is.

Not widely reported yet, but this could be important in any and all election campaigns. A judge is tasking government with creating a non-medical safe-supply drug program!
”Kalicum and Nyx were convicted of trafficking last year after admitting to buying the pure drugs on the dark web, then selling them to their members.
Murray’s ruling says that running such a safer-supply program was precisely what the applicants were doing and that formed the basis of the criminal charges against them.
She says the applicants in this case have borne the burden of bringing a successful constitutional challenge, doing a public interest service at considerable cost to themselves.

The Israelis have been lobbying Mark Carney's government on alleged antisemitism in Canada, but Global Affairs Canada is choosing to keep records of that lobbying a secret.
Israel's ambassador has openly talked about wanting to limit certain "freedoms" in Canada.

Man claims Canadian first amendment rights infringed when people refuse to listen to his opinion

Indeed, I was too
This notwithstanding fuckery failed when Ontario tried to use it, and now that Alberta used it successfully once, every other union there should expect the end of collective bargaining
And same for every other conservative premier in any province or territory
It's dominoes until people reject it

The job of a union, is to back up the members and pay the fines. To the point of the risk of extinction, as the BC teachers did in 2005.
The government blinked then. Smith didn't even have to face blinking.

And the teachers? The union just went back to class.
Pathetic.
We must meet illegal actions with illegal strikes.
Thanks Alberta teachers. Fuuuuuuck. 🤬

Well this is embarrassing.

The #NotwithstandingClause can be used by the legislature to exempt laws from the application of the #CharterofRightsandFreedoms
This means that the government can pass legislation that breaches fundamental freedoms (such as the right to strike) and infringes equality rights (disability rights)

Well, I've been posting a fair amount recently about judicial overreach and the value of parliamentary supremacy. There is of course another side to the story, in particular the individuals who've achieved justice or greater freedom through the courts. #CBC has recently started a podcast on the topic: https://www.cbc.ca/listen/cbc-podcasts/2052-see-you-in-court
(Some of these cases may have nothing to do with the #CharterOfRightsAndFreedoms .)

The #Canadian #CharterofRightsandFreedoms protects key rights and freedoms of everyone in #Canada. These rights are essential to preserving Canada as a democratic society where we can live our lives FREELY.

Notwithstanding Clause: Save O...
I'd recommend reviewing Canada's Charter of Rights, something i had never done prior to the discussions noted above. in general, as a charter, it's a decent start, but, IMO, it doesn't go far enough. The exclusion of Universal Healthcare, for example, was a huge omission.

It’s contrary to the principle of free expression guaranteed in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms in Canada to fire or discipline an employee for their public speech. Someone (&/or some organization/institution) is apparently trying to test whether that’s true. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/doctor-doxed-suspended-palestinian-posts-1.7001887 #CharterofRightsandFreedoms
Yes, the Senate Should Send Bill C-11 Back, But They Likely Won’t
The case for Bill C-11 being unconstitutional is quite clear, but the likelihood that the Senate will defend the Charter is low.
Let's get this out of the way right off the bat: Bill C-11 is blatantly unconstitutional.
