I sincerely hope this challenge is successful. The notwithstanding clause should never have been included, and it's high time it was removed. We cannot leave the legally defined rights of Canadians to the whim of elected governments - rights that can be ignored are not rights at all.

I agree, but in order to get rid of the notwithstanding clause we'd have to open the Constitution to alter it ... and at this point that's a recipe for disaster.

Yeah, you're absolutely right, but tabarnak I'm sick of seeing governments use it like it's just another tool.
