This doesn't bode well for the law profession in Saskatchewan. Moe is a terrible dirtbag, but this isn't the USA where there's an equal legal branch to the government and lawyers can spout off whatever they want; the supremacy of parliament will get exercised and the lawyers will find themselves in a tough spot.

You mean if it gets pushed through using the notwithstanding clause? And you mean the STLA will be in a tough spot, or the lawyers involved in the case?

I don't follow how you've come to this conclusion.

STLA, though what will happen is that the government though the Lt-Gov will probably increase appointments to the LSS to start, and push for harder enforcement. If STLA and judges become too political over time, the answer just might be to remove self-governance through the LSS.

What's the status of the opposition in SK? Will they be able to make hay out of all this?
