This is very concerning for Canadians too. They're tampering with the legal rights section of the Charter, including unreasonable search and seizure which is designed to protect us from police and government overreach. I'm sickened by it. www.justice.gc.ca/eng/csj-sjc/...
I agree. I was ok with lending my vote to the Libs, to avoid the tragedy that would have been a Con government. And for the most part, I like Carney's handling of the economic and trade issues. But I'm not ok with some of these policies. They need watching. Time will tell, I guess.
C-5 is a slap in the face to Indigenous People. The bill does not follow UNDRIP contrary to our own laws on it.
Yup. That one put me over the edge, for sure. Not ok.
So I feel very betrayed and that he played us all for fools - we elected a Conservative Trojan Horse.
God I hope not....but it's really worrying. And for all the talk about his environmental concerns, he sure didn't waste any time getting another pipeline approved. They seem to be moving too fast on a lot of issues. I expected more consultation and review, I guess.
He is funding carbon capture, for Christ's sake. That's not what a serious leader does. And is exactly why PMJT never once pitched it as any sort of solution. Because it's not. Carbon captured is used to blast more oil out of reservoirs. Fossil fuels create most of their emissions when burned.
Didn't take long for the honeymoon to be over. The Libs will have a hard time keeping all those ABC (anybody but conservative) votes, next time round. We're being asked to make far too many compromises, to keep our country safe from the trump threat. Yuck.
Yep. The Trump excuse has worn thin for me. And did the second I read C-5. It screams of what Pierre was going to do - use the Emergency Act to take over all provincial resources so the federal government has full say. I'm worried that's coming for all but Alberta.
I take the trump threat very seriously, and we can't let our guard down while the current fascist regime remains in power. That threat trumps everything else for me right now. While I don't agree with all provisions of C-5, removing internal trade barriers does make a lot of sense to me.
I don't have any issue with the removal of internal trade barriers. And that's why the bill was ultimately split into two parts by the House so that the uncontroversial part could be passed while further examination of the rest was done by the House and then Senate.
We need a serious NDP candidate that can win. Layton’s dead is still deeply affecting Canada. Why can’t they find a guy like him? Why didn’t they keep moving in his footstep? He was going to win a landslide.
Leah Gazan is the only current NDP that I have any confidence in and I think she'd be a kick ass leader.
