I'm at 20/20 too. This one isn't so bad. It's the one that floats around gamer spaces with "which console controller was your first" and it starts with the NES, and then I have to post a picture of the Intellivision...my back always hurts after that.

These are powers in the Constitution Act 1867, and not the Charter, so they aren't subject to the Notwithstanding Clause. Apparently the law-cancelling power has been used 100 times since Confederation.

Heather MacPherson (one of the NDP candidates for leadership) is pushing for the federal government to disallow Danielle Smith's anti-Trans laws. The federal government can cancel provincial laws that single out a minority for second-class citizen status. We need that here too, to end this trash.
