Notwithstanding…
Charlie Billions says he’d renew the notwithstanding clause that protects Bill 96 from the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
Obviously it’s in Milliard’s interest to demonstrate that the PLQ is not on the side of the anglos.
And Mark Carney assured Christine Fréchette on Friday that he won’t meddle with the clause.
What’s the point of a charter of rights with a get‑out clause that basically says “unless we really want to, then we will”?

Milliard may have taken a step back:

I think he’s testing the waters to see how the public is responding to the options. But flip‑flopping too much isn’t wise either.
