Canadians do not have inalienable rights. If it violates our constitution, our government can invoke the Notwithstanding Clause and ignore our courts for years while still requiring law enforcement to go about their work. The courts are bound and have to behave as though there is no precedent during the Notwithstanding period.
Notwithstanding will then expire, courts will rule according to their conscience and people will appeal their sentencing and penalties. I'm not sure if you can sue for damages, but they could also invoke Notwithstanding on that and just run the clock.
