I got an email from Leadnow recently and they used this phrase about Poilievre "flipping a kill switch" on the constitution. I usually trust their emails, but this is one of those instances where I wanted to double check this one. I copy pasted the phrase into a search engine and came across this video.

I wanted to ask: What are your thoughts on the notwithstanding clause? How should it be used exactly? How shouldn't it be used? Should it be used/exist at all?

It should exist for short term, emergency situations, IMO. Not for passing long term laws where it will need to be invoked every 5yrs forever to keep going
