Ontario Premier Doug Ford unleashed some of his strongest criticism yet of Prime Minister Mark Carney this Thursday, calling a federal move to limit provincial use of the notwithstanding clause “the worst decision [Carney] has ever made,” and accusing the federal government of trampling on democracy.
“This is way overreach,” Ford said Thursday, in response to a question about Ottawa's recent Supreme Court intervention.
“Parliament is supreme because people are supreme, not judges, ruling on stuff that shouldn’t even be in front of the courts.”
