I wouldn’t say that’s the case. Doug Ford got huge push-back for using it, to the point he repealed a piece of legislation that invoked it. Similarly, I don’t think Poilievre would experience “no real consequences”.
Plus, as pointed out in the article, “The clause can only override certain sections of the charter.” IANAL, but I’m sure this (and Poilievre’s other proposals to invoke the clause) will be reviewed by the courts.
