Obviously the correct decision, the Supreme Court objection was narrowly tailored and the law could easily be rewritten to be twice as harsh on the type of offenders everyone has in mind while avoiding the scenarios the Supreme Court focused on.
Would be incredibly misguided to shatter the Charter rights on all criminal laws Canadians have enjoyed uninterrupted since 1982 just so you can send an 18 year old to prison for a year for receiving a sext from his 17 year old girlfriend.
No federal government should ever even consider using the notwithstanding clause.
Any federal party that says it would use it would eagerly trample on any/all of our rights.
So Fraser also accepts that this ruling may put kids in danger! If that wasn’t the case, he wouldn’t be putting forward legislation.
“Fraser told reporters that, while he won’t be using the notwithstanding clause, he does plan to put forward legislation in the coming weeks to “deal with (the) sexual exploitation of kids in an online environment”.
Will like to see the legislation he’s proposing.

I’m sure there are valid (rare) reasons that a min sentence is not appropriate but man the optics on this one are horrendous.
They don’t need it. Re-work it, be more specific in the types of things it should apply to. Address the concerns of the courts. That would be the sane approach, rather than all the hyperbolic takes that ignore the actual issues the courts mentioned.
The notwithstanding clause needs to be abolished, this one specific issue aside.
Overreaching premiers are just desperately trying to hold onto this power by pushing it onto an issue related to child porn… for shame.
