That this is happening is Wrong:

It's abusing the Charter and the Constitution to achieve some sick payback. And to set precedent for worse things yet to come, I'm sure of that. I live in an opposition-held provincial riding right now, so here's me wondering if Ford and company are planning something similar for Ottawa the city next.
The feds have got Trump to cope with, so that knocks a lot of what should be front-burner issues down to low-heat backburner status.
Like Ford's perversion of the Notwithstanding Clause into a fascist weapon. The surviving parents of the Clause can damn him all they want and it won't matter to him. It's there, he's going to use it on the rest of us.
I can't go to Toronto. Financial limits and obligations hold me here in Ottawa the city for now. All I can do right now is denounce Bill 5 AKA Bill 31 from the sidelines.
