Althia Raj: Mark Carney’s Building Canada Act is a threat to the rule of law, and here’s a good example (thestar.com)

The "national interest" legislation should be revoked rather than utilized, Althia Raj writes.

"If the government can legally ignore laws it dislikes — laws that were properly studied and debated — what does it say about the value of democracy and the rule of law?" - @althiaraj.bsky.social www.thestar.com/politics/pol...

I don't have a Star subscription but it sounds like I wholeheartedly agree.

Tells us so much about who Carney really is. What is he trying to hide?

I’m just shocked that some people never saw how awful that bill was when it was introduced and still don’t. It’s an affront to democracy and to the rule of law. The senate should have said no. They have a duty to uphold the constitution and the power to veto bills.
