Canada

"All of my proposals are constitutional," Poilievre said. "We will make them constitutional"

...but Trudeau is the government overreach guy, right CPC?

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre says he would use "whatever tools the constitution allows" to pass criminal justice laws if his party forms the next government.

Speaking to the Canadian Police Association on Monday, Poilievre promised to implement more stringent requirements for bail and make it harder for convicted murderers to transfer out of maximum security prisons.

Poilievre didn't explicitly say what tools he was referring to and his office provided no official comment when asked for clarification.

In the past, the Tory leader said he would use the notwithstanding clause to overturn a 2022 Supreme Court decision that struck down a law that gave judges discretion to hand out consecutive, 25-year blocks of parole ineligibility if an offender has committed multiple first-degree murders.

Errol Mendes, a law professor at the University of Ottawa, told CBC News that in cases where the Supreme Court has made a ruling, the only option a government would have is using Section 33.

Quebec invoked the clause in passing a language reform law that limits the use of English in the public service.

Hold onto your rights folks, cause Pierre is promising to snatch them away.
