Quebec separatists have proven they'll stop at nothing in their quest to crush English language rights and turn a bilingual Canadian province into a French-only separate state. Quebec's provincial government alarmed many when it enacted its odious sing law restricting the use of English. Although this blatant human rights violation was struck down by the Supreme courts of Quebec and Canada, the provincial government enacted its sign law anyway. How? Quebec invoked its infamous Section 33 Notwithstanding Clause to overrule the highest courts in the land! Join renowned Canadian writer Michael B. Davie as he explores Quebec's controversial use of Section 33 - and the danger the Notwithstanding Clause poses to all Canadians.
