From BRIAN PECKFORD (a surviving Premier who negotiated Canada's constitution and Charter of Rights): Email: "Carney and Liberals Flying High As They Destroy Our Constitution Canadians seem unconcerned. Has economic uncertainty blinded the nation? Bill C-9 is about to become law restricting speech in this country violating The Charter of Rights and Freedoms . As the Constitutional Foundation says: “Hatred and prejudice should of course be rejected, but Bill C-9 goes much further than that. It opens the door to new legal penalties for ordinary speech, including a new standalone hate offence, the criminalization of certain symbols regardless of intent, and the removal of longstanding defences for good-faith religious expression. This means what qualifies as lawful expression in Canada will narrow significantly if Bill C-9 gets passed.” The ‘notwithstanding clause ‘ of the Charter is being undermined by the Federal Government asking a court to limit the clause’s powers, a change that can only be changed legally, constitutionally through the Amending Formula of the Constitution 1982 Section 38 , requiring the support of 7 Provinces, their Legislatures and the Federal Government and its Parliament. This changes the very core of Federalism and as the SCOC said in 1981 rejecting Trudeau Sr ‘s attempt to unilaterally change the constitution that involved the powers of the Provinces that it was unconstitutional —-this new effort would also involve the powers of the Provinces and therefore is unconstitutional in trying to use the courts. There is a process —the Amending Formula —-elected people must decide —the core of our democracy not unelected people. This is what happens when you lose your anchor as we have done by the Governments and the courts trying to ignore the very framework words of the very first words of Charter —‘the supremacy of God. ‘ All roads lead to moral decay, dysfunction, when natural law is discarded and replaced by man’s hubris —-and ‘fallen ‘ways. We see it now in Bill C-9 and the attack on the notwithstanding clause."
