Sorry, not Canadian but I want to confirm: The Notwithstanding Clause allows provincial legislatures to specifically violate the constitution and prevent courts from reviewing the matter?

Is the only recourse to wait, unelect the provincial legislators responsible, and then undo it?

I’ve never known of this until now and am completely shocked this exists as a real legal mechanism…

Yeah, similar experience, I’ve also settled on draw. Works fine enough 🤷‍♀️

Sometimes I use my organization’s ms and adobe products and I just get a little ui envy…

Edit(sometimes I have to)

Are there any good free pdf editors anyway? I’ve always had to use a premium product in the end 😔

In America if you break a driving law you typically get “points” on your license. Too many points and you lose it. Also more points = more expensive insurance costs per month.

Or you can just pay a few hundred dollars and not get points instead

I think they also genuinely enjoy it and believe somewhere in the future whoever is left will thank them for it

In America business and government are not actually separate. This is important to understand because it’s a structural feature of the American economy. We are a true capitalist libertaria. The government is comprised of the companies and people in business

American business is America itself and the government is a co-leader whose purpose is to facilitate American business interests.

This isn’t corruption like in the movies where you pay off crooked cops (which doesn’t really happen here). This is what businesses and individuals competing for political power looks like in a true capitalist libertaria.

Europe needs to support Ukraine a LOT more if they want to secure peace without American traitors

Catholics just make it easy by being so organized

Non Catholic denominations have the same or worse pedophilia problems. Much harder to discover because they’re decentralized and small.

Remember, slavery is explicitly allowed in America if it’s punishment for a crime

Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States

Conservatives are child abusers

Their entire belief structure revolves around abusing the helpless
