"we should resist a uniformity of Charter Rights across the country"
American politicians have a weirdly twisted worship of their constitution. Canadian politicians have an increasingly dismissive view towards our Charter of Rights.
#NotwithstandingClause
"I give credit to the electorate to understand to be able to make informed decisions with less information"
is an interesting take when arguing to limit legal assessment of legislation

This sidesteps democratic norms and sends a clear message: "Teachers’ voices don’t matter to the UCP."

McGowan frames this against a backdrop of scandal—from procurement chaos to the #NotwithstandingClause.
He argues the government has "a lot to hide."

The #NotwithstandingClause was alway a latent threat to democratic rights in Canada but it has become a standard tool of right-wing governments.
