Section 33 of the Charter (aka “notwithstanding clause”) is invoked when the gov’t knowingly decides to violate fundamental freedoms &/or legal rights.
@fordnation just invoked this constitutional override for 1st time in Ontario history… to target political spending by unions.
@RodneyTori @StevenDelDuca@AndreaHorwath Guess you don’t remember “Rae Days.” You know where our NDP premier at the time pushed through legislation for civil sector employees to take 12 unpaid days off to offset the giant deficit he created in his term. Yeah...don’t believe all the smoke and mirrors by the NDP.
BREAKING: The Ford government is bringing back the legislature tomorrow at 3pm to invoke the notwithstanding clause -- reviving election advertising limits that was deemed unconstitutional yesterday.

Has anyone snagged one of the Ford COVID detector bracelets?
I'm guessing they are going to be collector items.
Funny Ontario paid $2.5M for them but where are they?

So this morning Erin O'Toole went on and on about Trudeau's 'failure' re rapid tests and this afternoon Min Hajdu had to again school them on how she's sent millions of rapid tests to provinces months ago, many of which remain unused to this day.
@Steftwindad @CP24 You’re a true expert on everything! I see that you need to be reaffirmed of your “manhood” (with all of your talk about balls)... and you’re worth. So here it is. I am so proud of you.
@_Coryvieira @CP24 2/2 Unfortunately, Covid’s transmission ability (compared to cancer which is 0) is high...so when it enters your community and your hospital, it takes away resources that could be used for other patients including cancer. In good news...Covid is treatable and manageable.
@_Coryvieira @CP24 1/1 Pretty narrow sighted comparison...it’s not just about total deaths. It’s about ICU uptick, stress on our health care systems, delaying other procedures, long term effects...etc. Does cancer SUCK? YES! There’s enough room for both COVID and Cancer to suck.
Ontario’s buffoon in chief has decided to use his pandemic briefing to advertise a new product at a foreign hedge-fund owned coffee chain.
I wish I was joking.
