Invoking the notwithstanding clause to override the Supreme Court is a slippery slope, even if the intention is to get tough on crime. Classical liberalism is about limited government and strong protections for individual rights—undermining judicial checks sets a dangerous precedent. The courts exist to protect constitutional freedoms, even when it's politically inconvenient. Poilievre’s approach might score points with voters, but long-term, it risks eroding the rule of law.
