The Ontario government is considering new laws that would give police greater powers to break up protests, issue fines, demand identification, and potentially arrest people who refuse to identify themselves.

    Don’t worry, there’s this awesome loophole that allows him to do whatever the fuck he wants called the notwithstanding clause.

    So, how many people are we, and how many cops are there?

    If shit happens, remember, we are many.
    They sleep, too.

      I wouldn’t worry too much about the Toronto cops. They’re too busy committing crimes themselves or sleeping in parking lots to do anything about this.

      The notwithstanding clause does have limitations, but I don’t know if that’s relevant in this case.
