It's the 5 you're thinking of.

If you only got 4, Tim Houston of NS is the last member of the Goonies crew.

Such a weird legal manouevre enshrined in the Constitution. Like a 'pinky-swear-cross-my-fingers-abracadabra-toil&trouble' nonsense that could never have unintended consequences: enough to render the Constitution a useless farce.

Write to your MPs and tell them that you stand with the government on constraining the use of the not-withstanding clause. This is one of those of times when the Liberals are doing the right thing, and we need to let them know we endorse it.

To be clear, Carney isn't advocating for doing away with the Notwithstanding Clause. He is advocating for having the Supreme Court rule whether the law is infringing on the rights of Canadians whether they invoke the clause or not. He feels that we should know that our elected officials agrees infringing in our rights when we go to the ballot box. I agree.
