Québec, unlike most provinces in Canada, has long enjoyed a consensus on climate. The Québécois(e) are proud of their climate leadership. Using carbon pricing funds to fund a gas tax reduction would seriously undermine the consensus.

I'm not a fan of how the notwithstanding clause has been used, but this case has no legal merit. The whole point of the clause is to pass otherwise unconstitutional laws. Quite frankly, we wouldn't even have a Charter in the first place if it wasn't for the inclusion of this clause

One common criticism of arguments favouring amendment is that provinces would never agree. But that doesn't apply here, since it'd only affect the feds.
So I ask, would this be an acceptable infringement of parliamentary sovereignty?

Amen
It is because I believe that Jesus is Lord and Christ is King that I reject any attempt to have "Jesus is Lord" or "Christ is King" enshrined in any state edict. Because Jesus Christ is Lord and King not through control or coercion, but through self-giving, other-centering love.
