I wonder how 'solid' on the law the premier and her advisors would be, if they were personally and financially liable for the cost to reverse this law. She doesn't get to decide Charter rights (as demonstrated with teachers and nurses); courts do. And the courts should expedite this matter, if for no other reason than to reduce the financial burden accruing to taxpayers from this unCanadian edict.

This is a head tax, and it's shameful. Moreover, it has raised uncertainty in the marketplace, has pressured prices in the entry market by placing new supply in doubt and has put the whole 'deferral program' at risk, as people's equity shrinks. A growing problem that threatens to become an additional source of litigation and significant settlement. Her re-election is not that important.
