The Notwithstanding Clause is not a partisan issue.
It's a poison pill embedded into the Charter that needs to be curtailed or removed before our rights are erased one-at-a-time by opportunistic and lazy politicians.
Or worse, by an authoritarian leader who wishes to quash dissent or oppress.

There may be people who on the far-right who cheer when they see this, but my goodness they are on a dangerous path.
What if a politician on the left decided to use these powers in the way the right has?
All of their perceived issues with their freedom being curtailed will actually come true.

The on-going danger is that Canadians will take these at face value without clicking on their profile and seeing they don't even "live" in Canada.
Also, these are some low quality bot accounts that make it so obvious!
