Damn, did Premier Moe and his Cons, learn from Ford the trick to "notwithstand" any legislation they don't want challenged?

The notwithstanding clause was guaranteed to result in a constitutional crisis eventually. Hopefully we can do away with it and any crap laws that came from it.

What would a constitutional crisis entail, and what would it take to get right of the notwithstanding clause?
