You cannot invoke the notwithstanding clause to immunize yourself or your province from the application of federal law. Either Don Braid doesn't know this, which is disqualifying, or he does and decided to write that constitutional chemtrail anyway, which might be worse.

Zeus wept.
This is basic malpractice.
How can you write about politics for decades and have absolutely no idea how our country works? @calgaryherald, please correct this nonsense.

It would send a powerful message indeed: that whoever thought it was a good idea was a blithering idiot.

Public service announcement: If you get metal in your eye, go to an optometrist, not to your family doctor. Optometrists have the right equipment to see in your eye.

The assumption here that it's women's choices that demand examination and justification and not men's is 99% of the answer to the chauvinistic question below
Why have women under 30 become more left-leaning than their male counterparts? Gen Z liberals and conservatives debate:
“If you are just your typical male, you are automatically assumed to be sexist or racist by Democrats just for being your typical white male.”
“Donald Trump running for president. He said you could do anything, grab ’em by the pussy….I think that deterred women from the Republican Party in general.”

WTF @centralsaanich !!? The Mayors in BC are always complaining about provincial interference and maybe this is why the province is pushing them !!! #bcpoli
The affordable housing project for veterans, seniors and healthcare workers ticks a lot of boxes. That's why the people behind the proposal assumed it was a shoo-in.

I don't think it is being driven by immigration.
I think the housing shortage issue has a lot more to do with local red tape/permitting/regulatory burden and provincial policy, much more than anywhere else.

For the millionth time, please stop pushing governments to commit to emissions targets decades from now and start pushing them to commit to policies and to provide projections of what those policies will achieve. A target with no policies is an excuse, not a plan.

The thing that @mattgurney is missing here is the spectre of political violence. We are in an era where the word “treason” is thrown around too easily, and if you tar someone as a traitor when they were merely naïve or unwitting, they are a now a target. readtheline.ca/p/matt-gurney…
And here I thought asserting that budgets will balance themselves through economic growth was a bad strategy. Looks like that understanding was wrong.
