Ronald Thiering

Very strongly agree

No, focus on upholding the Charter of Rights and Freedoms as the supreme law of the land

Strongly aligned with Liberal Party messaging that the Charter is foundational and that governments should respect court review; Liberals have repeatedly criticized normalization of the notwithstanding clause and have not promoted it for criminal sentencing.

Strongly agree

No

Consistent with the Liberal Party’s typical stance of upholding Charter protections and avoiding s.33 in criminal law; Liberal governments have pursued sentencing changes through ordinary legislation rather than Charter overrides.

Agree

No, set a policy of justice reform that prioritizes rehabilitation and addresses systemic biases

Liberals often pair public-safety measures with rehabilitation, diversion, and addressing systemic inequities (e.g., bail/justice reform discussions and Indigenous justice measures), though they also support some tougher measures—so agreement is positive but not absolute.

Disagree

Yes, focus on specific violent offences like intimate partner violence and car theft

While Liberals prioritize addressing violent crime (including intimate partner violence) through Criminal Code reforms, they would be unlikely to endorse using s.33 to bypass Charter scrutiny; they typically seek targeted legislation that can withstand Charter review rather than overrides.

Strongly disagree

Yes

Federal Liberals have generally opposed using s.33 to override Charter rights, emphasizing Charter compliance in criminal justice; they have criticized provincial uses of the notwithstanding clause and have not advocated its use to impose harsher sentences.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, immediate universal use to ensure "three-strikes" laws and mandatory life sentences are legal

A sweeping, immediate use of s.33 for three-strikes and mandatory life sentences runs directly against Liberal positions on Charter rights and their general preference for evidence-based sentencing and Supreme Court-compliant reforms (e.g., responses to SCC rulings striking down overly broad mandatory minimums).
