Alberta Premier Rachel Notley criticized the Ontario government Tuesday for threatening to use the notwithstanding clause to ram through plans to reduce the size of Toronto city council. "To be clear, the democratic process is paramount," Notley said while touring an oilsands facility near Fort McMurray. Hours later, Ford said he would invoke the Constitution's notwithstanding clause to override that ruling. Notley made the remarks during a visit to Nexen Energy's Long Lake oilsands facility, where the company marked an upcoming $400-million investment.
