Ontario Premier Doug Ford criticized the federal government for filing a motion with the Supreme Court around limiting the use of the notwithstanding clause, calling it a “disaster” and saying it will likely be blocked by the provinces.
“This is the worst decision Prime Minister [Mark] Carney has ever done, and it will be an absolute disaster, and I don’t believe it’s going to go through. It just takes Quebec and Ontario to block it,” Ford said during a press conference in Vaughan on Sept. 25.
