flag Ontario's Ford attacks federal stance on notwithstanding clause, calling it overreach.

flag Ontario Premier Doug Ford is criticizing the federal government’s stance on the notwithstanding clause, a constitutional tool allowing provinces to override certain Charter rights, calling the federal position a misguided overreach. flag The federal government argues the clause cannot be used to undermine fundamental rights, especially in Quebec’s secularism law, but Ford defends it as essential for democratic governance, asserting elected officials—not courts—should decide policy. flag The debate, centered on a Supreme Court case, reflects broader tensions between provincial autonomy and constitutional rights, with Ford urging federal Justice Minister Sean Fraser to focus on bail reform instead.
