[quote name='"Gigaurora"'] How does the criminal code override the entire series of related laws being classified as in violation of constitution and stricken down as non-non-existant? :S It's irrelevant anyway as it will just be appealed up to the supreme court if this appeal is denied, which are conservative heavy and Harper's. but still, how would the ruling itself not be valid? otherwise why would the crown appeal in the first place so rigorously ?[/quote] Well, the court case is for ontario. Criminal code over rides provincial law. Theres not much more to it.
