As far as the notwithstanding clause, well that is a real joke. Don't like having legislation challenged? No problem. Go use the Notwithstanding clause.
Go figure!

Good God, if nothing else your presence here has got me agreeing with OceanMDX on something! You have no idea what the odds of that happening are! By the way, what would you say is the right temperature to start using your block heater is ...Oh. never mind

If the Feds used disallowance on Quebec, the separatists would have the "winning conditions" that they have been waiting for - you know that.
