Will Poilievre flip a 'kill switch' on Canada's Constitution? | About That (youtu.be)

I got an email from Leadnow recently and they used this phrase about Poilievre "flipping a kill switch" on the constitution. I usually trust their emails, but this is one of those instances where I wanted to double check this one. I copy pasted the phrase into a search engine and came across this video.

I wanted to ask: What are your thoughts on the notwithstanding clause? How should it be used exactly? How shouldn't it be used? Should it be used/exist at all?

He probably will invoke the notwithstanding clause.
It'll be worded in such a ambiguous way people won't even be sure what it even does.

For anyone wondering this is the specific section he seems to be targeting. Although some of the stuff he says seems to cover how parts.

Everyone has the right not to be subjected to any cruel and unusual treatment or punishment.
