Show Notes
The Supreme Court of Canada is deliberating on the constitutionality of Quebecs Bill 21, which bans religious symbols for public workers. The case revolves around the notwithstanding clause, which allows governments to suspend certain Charter rights for up to five years. Opponents argue for restrictions due to potential misuse and discrimination, while the Chief Justice and another Justice emphasize that the decision wont be based on extreme hypotheticals. The court has heard from dozens of groups and provinces, and a ruling could significantly impact the use of the notwithstanding clause across Canada.
