When the notwithstanding clause is invoked we usually hear screeching about how it is a "nuclear option" that was only for "emergencies" @Charlie_R_Buck patiently demolishes this myth in @CJPS_RCSP "The Charter’s Nuclear Option?" https://t.co/dupQVoBM82

Have you ever been told that the notwithstanding clause was designed to be rarely used? I contest that idea in my new article in the Canadian Journal of Political Science: https://t.co/cVKlMw7JFG

I'm excited to share my latest article for The Conversation. With Trump imposing tariffs on Canada and much of the world, I argue that the rising wave of Canadian nationalism presents a strategic opportunity for the Conservatives. https://t.co/Qs1J6zRs2O

Thirty four years after I first arrived on campus, my colleagues @UCalgaryPoliSci continue to see their impact felt in the broader debates.

“The larger point is that although much of the social sciences and humanities remain politically segregated with scholarship heavily skewed towards favouring a progressive ideological monoculture, this is not the case in the subfield of Canadian judicial politics. There you will find just as many critics of the judicialization of Canadian politics as supporters.”

A thoughtful survey of the evolution of centre-right scholarship on the role of the court in Canada by @Charlie_R_Buck with references to @rknopff, @CalgarySchool, @TedMortonMLA, @ProvostManfredi, @irbrodie, @Mark_S_Harding, @GeoffSigalet, and others.

I'd like to thank Leonid for the opportunity to be featured on his blog.

Excited to share a post I wrote on the popular legal blog Double Aspect!

In it, I respond to Professor Leonid Sirota's (@DoubleAspect) argument that the party forming government does not necessarily need to have the most seats.

New guest post by @Charlie_R_Buck, making the case for the plurality-winner-take-all interpretation of the conventions of government formation in Canada. https://t.co/09J7oTSXzw
