The important point to keep in mind regarding section 33 of the Charter of Rights & Freedoms is why it was included. Think about what was going on at the time and why the Charter was even created.
Sect. 33 is a white supremacy tool that was included to make white men feel safe.

Now that this fact has been said, let’s get to the heart of addressing the attempt to abuse power in order to maintain white supremacy.
It’s 2018, time to rule section 33 unconstitutional when used to subvert Canadians’ inalienable rights to a free & democratic society.

History has taught us many lessons.
Some people learn from them and some people don’t.
During the time when then Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau and other white male elected Representatives were working on ensuring that underrepresented and marginalized Communities were protected

Why is #bill31 so horrible? It's just fraking around with "liberals" you say. Let's troll those stupid Toronto elites... but the moron suspended EVERY charter right from sections 2 and 7-15.
He COULD have just suspended section 2b (freedom of expression) and maybe 2c (freedom of assembly) or even 2d (freedom of association).
Instead, he suspended the rights in 7 (life, liberty and security of the person)... so in theory if you get in the way of Ford's election you can be thrown in prison, made to perform a medical procedure (sterilization, anyone), or even killed. WTF?
