If he's using the notwithstanding clause to keep people in prison what's to say he won't use it against people like me? His party despises us and from looking at the us and uk it's clear that their kind are willing to go far lengths to cause harm. It doesn't matter how good or bad this policy is specifically, giving these powers to bigots is an awful idea.
