Agreed. But there are better ways of dealing with this than making laws that will inevitably be struck down by the Supreme Court.

Apart from the fact that this obviously is against the charter - how does this work? Is it three separate convictions at different times? What if you’re charge with multiple serious offenses during a single crime?

I am actively political and have been my entire life. I go to protests, I’ve campaigned for candidates, I’ve been a member of political parties, voted in leadership contests and do so at every level of government.

I’ve never once attended a political rally. They just strike me as creepy and weird.
