Summary
"This constitutional text examines the words "Peace, Order and Good Government" found in the introduction to section 91 of the Constitution Act, 1867. It examines the origins of the words in North America, across multiple international jurisdictions, and applies it to the modern issues of the carbon tax, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the "freedom convoy" blockades. Through this undertaking, he shows how these words have been misinterpreted by the courts, allowing the federal Parliament to use Peace, Order and Good Government to give itself "emergency powers", and "national dimensions power" to legislate in relation to provincial matters."-- Provided by publisher.
