Sit with that a moment.
Canadian equivalent would be 186,000 people - families, children, grandparents, friends & loved ones - lives extinguished & buried by genocide's rubble of bombarded, collapsed buildings.

So proud to see my friend Alex Neve deliver this year’s Massey Lecture in Ottawa last night.
Alex is a dear friend & I deeply admire his lifelong fight for human rights in Canada & around the world. His message is clear & urgent. Human rights are non-negotiable, inalienable & above all, universal.

Using the notwithstanding clause to crush the right to strike is contemptuous of labour rights, undermines the role of the courts & ultimately erodes human rights across the country.
