Does the notwithstanding clause safeguard our rights or override them? We dive into one of the most controversial parts of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms to figure out whether it’s a hero like Wolverine or a wildcard like The Joker. Lawyers Warda Shazadi Meighen, Karin Galldin and Peter Biro weigh in.
