Doug Ford has used the notwithstanding clause 3 times! Once to reduce the amount of representatives on Toronto City Council, once to reduce the amount of political ads non-political parties can run (a law union leaders said was designed to silence unions), and once to end a union strike (which makes it seem like the union leaders were right in their accusations).
There definitely needs to be more blowback from the public when provincial leaders use this clause to force through legislation. I agree that provincial leaders have gotten way too comfortable in using it.
