Bernadette Smith repeatedly claimed there had been no deaths at a consumption site ever The application filed with Health Canada stated there had been a death in 2024. Did she lie, or just not read the application she was supporting? Someone ask Wab Kinew- winnipegsun.com/opinion/public…

Grok **No, a Supreme Court ruling imposing new interpretive limits on Section 33 would not formally require a constitutional amendment.** The Court's role under the Constitution Act, 1982, is precisely to interpret and apply the Charter—including Section 33—through judicial review. This is standard constitutional practice in Canada (the "living tree" doctrine for interpretation, and purposive analysis for the Charter). Formal amendments to the Constitution, by contrast, follow the specific amending formulas in Part V (e.g., the 7/50 rule under s. 38 for most changes, or unanimity for others). A judicial decision does not change the text of the Charter; it clarifies its meaning and application.46 That said, the federal government's intervention in the ongoing Supreme Court appeal of Quebec's Bill 21 (English Montreal School Board v. Attorney General of Quebec / Hak v. Attorney General of Quebec, hearings March 23–26, 2026) has sparked exactly this debate. The Carney Liberals filed a factum in September 2025 urging the Court to impose new constraints on Section 33, even while acknowledging the clause's text and history. Key points from Ottawa's position include: - Courts should still be able to declare that a law violates Charter rights (ss. 2 and 7–15), even if the notwithstanding clause shields it from invalidation. This would allow symbolic or dialogic judicial oversight. - Prolonged or repeated use (renewable every five years) could amount to "indirectly amending the Constitution" because it creates the "prolonged impossibility of exercising a right or freedom," which "in practice, [would] be tantamount to denying its very existence." - Prime Minister Carney has publicly opposed "pre-emptive" use of the clause (invoking it before any court ruling), though the factum focuses more on repeated use and oversight than explicitly barring pre-emptive invocation.40 This builds on earlier federal statements but goes beyond prior Supreme Court precedent (e.g., Ford v. Quebec, 1988, which upheld pre-emptive use and limited review to "manner and form" compliance only).45 Critics—including Quebec, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario, and others intervening—call this a backdoor rewrite of the 1982 constitutional bargain. Section 33 was deliberately added (after the "Gang of Eight" premiers' insistence) as a broad, democratic override with no substantive limits beyond the five-year sunset and express declaration requirement. Provinces argue that grafting on new judicial limits (e.g., against repetition or pre-emption) would "effectively amend Section 33" without the consent required by the amending formula—something the Constitution explicitly prohibits Ottawa from doing directly. As one analysis puts it, "Why should Ottawa be allowed to do indirectly through the Supreme Court what the Constitution prohibits it from doing directly by a formal constitutional amendment?" Alberta's factum calls it "constitutional amendment by stealth"; Quebec says it upends settled law the framers deliberately rejected.41 In short: **Legally and procedurally, no amendment is required**—the Supreme Court can (and often does) evolve constitutional meaning through interpretation. But **politically and constitutionally**, many provinces and commentators view the Liberals' request as undermining the original compromise that made the Charter possible in the first place ("No Charter without section 33").

@MidAtlanticPod I don’t usually draw attention to the non-wrestling aspects of old tapes, but… That era has gotta be the hottest look ever for Baby Doll.

March 23, 1985: Tully Blanchard had been in JCP for about a year and he had been the company's MVP with Ric Flair always on the road. If anyone ever tells you a tale about the rebirth of JCP with Dusty as the booker and they don't talk Tully, get up, walk away and think mesquite.

Apparently on X it’s within the rules to label Jewish communities in Israel as p*dos, @elonmusk this doesn’t seem consistent with what I’ve heard you say about these kinds of concerns in the past.

Last week I said Dan Lett owed an apology to people who questioned safe consumption site policies. Now he’ll owe an apology to a co-worker he ignored: “Centrist or left-0f-centre commentators found very little value in the trip, particularly his appearance on the Rogan podcast”

@CheriDiNovo Here’s a pretty left-wing reporter with the Winnipeg Free Press, expressing a positive opinion after viewing the interview. Should he feel embarrassed too?
