Seriously it really grinds my gears that the Canadian government thinks that 16 years olds are mature and intelligent enough to drive a car, work a full-time job, pay taxes, apply for a passport, and are able to live independently on their own without a parent or guardian if they want to and get married with parent consent.

But when it comes to voting the Canadian thinks 16 year olds are not mature and intelligent enough to vote. Its completely ridiculous in my opinion.

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?

I wasn't aware Steve Paikin and John McGrath had a podcast on Ontario politics. I like it!
