The guys who put the #notwithstanding clause in the Charter -- Chretien, Romanow and McMurtry -- are not at all happy about how @fordnation is using it. The @TorontoStar just got their statement. Read those last two lines! #cdnpoli #onpoli pic.twitter.com/jKFBR1V0HX

We will learn tomorrow if the House will also sit Sunday (and possibly if the two-day break for the unmissable International Plowing Match will be overturned or abbreviated.) twitter.com/CBCQueensPark/…

Government House Leader Todd Smith is explaining to @mattgallowaycbc on @metromorning right now why the Tories are scrambling to pass Bill 31. A rare Saturday session at Queen's Park will be held to expedite passage of the bill slashing Toronto council. #onpoli #topoli

Bill 31 will not pass this weekend. Under the standing orders it can't even be debated Saturday. Debate could begin Sunday. If government tries to wiggle out of the plowing match break and gets debate Monday and Tuesday -- a big if -- then could pass Wednesday or Thursday. Maybe.

Weekend legislative sittings are rare. Usually reserved for ending wildcat transit strikes with back-to-work legislation. But House doesn't sit Fridays and has adjourned for Monday and Tuesday because of the International Plowing Match. So panicked Tories had to act. #onpoli

As @sabrinananji first reported, the Legislature will sit Saturday at 1 pm. There was a hastily prepared cabinet order-in-council signed tonight after the fledgling government realized it's running of time to pass Bill 31 in time for an Oct. 22 Toronto election. #onpoli #topoli

And here is the official-ish notice of a weekend emergency legislative session to pass a revamped version of the unconstitutional bill shrinking Toronto council. #onpoli #topoli twitter.com/LWaler/status/…

One reason why the chamber fell to a hush when Liberal MPP @ndesrosiers spoke this morning: she is one of the three editors of 1,168-page Oxford Handbook of the Canadian Constitution. (It's $148.50 for Amazon Prime members).
