Every series needs a closer, and we saved a heavy hitter for ours. Earlier this year, the landmark Bill 21 case reached the Supreme Court of Canada, a challenge that turns on the scope of the notwithstanding clause. As we await the Court’s judgement, the final episode of Normalizing the Override, our series on Section 33 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, steps back to explore Québec’s history with federalism and its relationship to the Charter’s most controversial section.
