Re-habilitate Section 33 - Notwithstanding what the (l)iberals say to the contrary about "democracy" in a Constitutional Monarchy (for heaven's sake)
Notwithstanding polygamy

Dear Ed,
I wish somebody would use the 'perfectly-good' Section 33 aka the "Notwithstanding clause" ... just to prove to Canadians that it is a valid provision of the 1982 amendments to our foundational governance laws.
The Civil Marriages Act would have been an apt example, but the pol's-of-the-day were too intimidated by (or in league with) the "politically correct" crowd to act in a "correct politically" way.
If the "leaders" of that day had done so .... this polygamous marriage/religious discrimination case wouldn't have a leg to stand on AND the Notwithstanding clause would be fully available if the religious freedom argument somehow was "successful" with the Supreme(ly Politically Correct) Court.
