becoming the first Canadian prime minister to override Charter rights
We need to critically ask why this hasn’t been done before, and why this has never been used federally ever, before we go ahead and vote for a federal government that promises to override the charter.
Why are legislation and the Supreme Court not enough?
We also need to look at what the US looks like with their new rule by fiat approach, is that what we want here? A government that overrides the charter at any opportunity?
I’m not for murderers, I’m for using the tools in the system instead of breaking it.
I think Poilievre is also preying on people not understanding how our judicial system works. When someone is “eligible for Parole after 25 years” the key word is eligible. Our most heinous criminals will die in prison, but at a certain point, they have to right to go before the parole board, and I think that’s a good thing.
Absolutely. It’s beyond me why someone would be against a hearing taking place, considering a “no” would be practically guaranteed in cases like these.

He’s counting on people not understanding how the judicial system works.
No kidding. Something like this should only be used when some unforeseen events happens, or to protect against abuse or emergencies.
Using it to correct a personal opinion, or worse to try and gain some votes, is absolutely disgraceful.
