The more I think about it, the more I’m convinced Canada’s future isn’t secure unless we re-open the Constitution.
The Notwithstanding Clause has to either go or be severely nerfed and we need to settle provincial rights clearly.

@spencer@mstdn.ca at least some balance to keep the clause from being abused. The previous boogie man of the “electorate” doesn’t work, so we have abuse that moves the window too much. As it stands, rights aren’t rights.

@spencer@mstdn.ca perhaps a clarification of possible topics or a need for federal authorization to use it might help slow its abuse.
