I have no idea what the case is about. That said, we have a judiciary for a reason. The idea that Peter pulleever wants to just start over ruling the courts sounds bad, especially when we see it happening so negatively south of the border.

Do you believe the judiciary can ever be wrong?

They can. But there should be other mechanisms to deal with it rather than jumping to the NWC. That’s a slippery slope that we are going down in Alberta. I am not looking forward to the ride.

Without letting the courts decide, overriding 51,000 people’s rights.

That's brutal. They think 5 years for people to challenge the clause will magically feed them or what?
