If you think the Supreme Court will be reluctant to rewrite the Constitution, as Ottawa wants by handcuffing Section 33, then you haven’t been paying attention, Bruce Pardy tells Brian Lilley. It doesn’t matter that the non-discrimination clause explicitly gives lawmakers the right to overturn certain court decisions, or that it was key to getting the Bill of Rights passed in the first place, says Pardy, a constitutional scholar at Queen’s University. The rule of Canadian constitutional decisions is that there are no rules. For decades, the justices have simply invented interpretations and dreamed up Charter “values” that fit their leftist politics. And our Constitution is conveniently designed to keep that from happening – forever. (Registered March 27, 2026.)
