Fat Cheesecake Doug Ford has a habit of using the "notwithstanding clause" in the Charter section of the Constitution to make unconstitutional changes to law. Here's a brief history of his unconstitutional actions:
YEAR 2018 ~ Bill 5
From Global News on September 10th 2018: "'Ontario Premier Doug Ford plans to invoke notwithstanding clause. Here’s what you need to know ~ Ontario Progressive Conservative Premier Doug Ford says he plans to invoke the notwithstanding clause of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms after a judge struck down the contentious Bill 5 that would cut the size of Toronto city council nearly in half...'" https://globalnews.ca/news/4438198/notwithstanding-clause-doug-ford-bill-5-toronto-city-council/

This means, as Stefanos Karatopis has been ringing the alarm bells for over a year in advance, that Ontario is currently in an unconstitutional provincial election! Why are there not loads of Ontarians flooding the streets in large numbers, peacefully protesting this?
