EZRA KLEIN DOESN'T UNDERSTAND REPUBLICAN FANDOMOn his podcast last week, Ezra Klein said this about the 2024 Republican presidential contest: ... I do think it’s a mistake right now that the narrative in the press is thinking about 2024 as this two man race, because the nature of Trump and DeSantis both being in the game, and possibly destroying each other like Godzilla and Mothra, is that it creates space for other candidates to emerge. It makes for a more multi-candidate race than it otherwise would be. If it was just Donald Trump or it was just Ron DeSantis, they would have that lane, like, that main lane of the Republican P... read more

Beware Those Who Would Use The Not Withstanding Clause
In 1970, Pierre Trudeau used the War Measures Act -- a harsh and blunt instrument -- to put an end to the FLQ Crisis. Eleven years later, he inserted the Charter Of Rights and Freedoms into a repatriated constitution. To get the premiers to agree to the Charter, he crafted the Not Withstanding Clause. We have come to believe that no premier would ever use the clause. But, Marcus Gee writes: Ontario Premier Doug Ford has waved this blunt club in the air no less than three times since taking office in 2018: once to threaten to bypass a judge who ruled against a vindictive law to nea... read more
