The prime minister is not taking Ontario Premier Doug Ford up on the idea he could meet with premiers to redefine the use of the notwithstanding clause. Reopening the Constitution is not “top of mind” for Canadians, Justin Trudeau said.

The CUPE members defied the law. On Monday, Ford agreed to repeal the bill if the education workers would return to class — and the union agreed.But in the meantime, Ford took a reporter's question about the prime minister's criticism of his use of the notwithstanding clause and replied that the province was well within its rights to use it.

Soon after, it was Trudeau's turn to take reporters’ questions at a ceremony in Laval, north of Montreal, on Monday, where the U.S. vaccine maker Moderna is building a facility that could turn out 100 million vaccines for the next pandemic, as well as vaccines to prevent cancer and other diseases. “This government will never back down from standing up for people's rights and fundamental freedoms.”

Doug Ford says Justin Trudeau is being ‘selective’ in criticism of notwithstanding clausePrime Minister Justin Trudeau has ruled out reopening the Constitution to deal with provinces pre-emptively using the notwithstanding clause, after Ontario Premier Doug Ford “highly” recommended Monday he not go down that route. After that I don't think too many premiers will try to invoke the notwithstanding clause during a labour dispute. It made Ford looking ridiculous. Lol - but no worries from Trudeau when Quebec uses the NWC. Hypocrite. Good for you Mr Ford use it on Quebec it is OK but not OK for Ontario to use it.
