Mandate? Was he elected Premier of Toronto? What business has the Premier of Ontario involving himself in Toronto civic politics anyway?

He never had a mandate for that it was never mentioned until after he was elected. The notwithstanding clause is not to be used for every piece of legislation that might be challenged it is supposed to be for things deemed extremely important to that province, usually culture, and should be used as only in very rarely, it is the nuclear option.

Well it hasn't been used so you can take a deep breath and calm down.
The court of appeals decided the original judge made a partisan decision and over ruled it.

Than you for participating.
