It’s been a busy week for the notwithstanding clause. Days after the clause was deployed in AB, yesterday saw the clause invoked in QC through the passage of Bill 94. This bill expands on the 2019 invocation in Bill 21, extending the province’s secularism law to schools.

Happy halloween from the CCS Team! As a bit of fun, we're rebranding as the Centre for Hauntstitutional Studies for the day 👻

The fourth and final episode of our new podcast series is now available! Coinciding with Alberta's recent invocation in Bill 2, this episode features interviews with Doug Stollery and Jack Saddleback, who discuss two times the Western provinces have deployed the clause. Listen here: bit.ly/3LdRduJ
