It isn’t about it being enforced “fairly”. If every conviction you try to get, just ends up getting thrown out of court because it violates the Charter, then the law is effectively unenforceable altogether.
They’ve done this in the past, and every time, the law inevitably gets repealed, even if it does pass through Parliament.
Meanwhile all the people who were arrested and charged unfairly have had their lives completely upended.
Some may sue the government, and possibly get justice, but that’ll take years and they’ll be targeted by bootlickers and the US-backed media.
