Canada

Is there a linkable source where I can reference for the skeptics? It's going to be much easier to refute whatever they're saying if I have something solid to prove them wrong

This is what he means every time he says "small government." Him and his cronies in charge of everything. And this is just another attempt to normalize this disgusting centralization of power, in direct contradiction to everything Canada stands for.

Fuck off, Pierre, and take your increasingly fascist party with you.

Promising to use the notwithstanding clause means the laws they intend to pass will fail to pass a charter challenge. That should alarm anyone.

If they were to do this, the law would only stand for 5 years before being subject to challenge again, and inevitably it will fail (which is why they used notwithstanding), and the people who were harmed by the government's use of notwithstanding will sue the government for the violation of their rights and they will win.

We only need to look at Ontario and how it went with Ford's use.

I'm glad this fucker has shown his true colors publicly at last. Keep spreading information and talking with your friends and neighbors even when it's maddening or difficult.

We do not need extreme fascism or dictatorship in Canada and that's what the cons and ~smol pp~ are all about. They've told us as much many times. Believe them. Organize against them. Fight them.

This isn't even borrowed from the yanks, look back at shit the Tories said during the Harper years, it's literally exactly the same rhetoric, there's a clip on CBC from years ago with Pierre talking about the Omar Khadr supreme court ruling and dude was saying shit like "this is a matter for the democratically elected government, not the courts".

While I get the overlap, we shouldn't downplay our own shit, we've been perfectly capable of having a christofacist party on our own, and exporting it globally (Gaven McInnes - Canadian, worked with the rebel, Jordan Peterson, Harper has been involved with the IDU, Preston Manning's takeover of the Conservatives was cited as an inspiration for Nigel Farage)

They want the authority to decide what appropriate sentencing is for serious offenses with the promise to put criminals behind bars for their entire lives. And they also want to be able to decide what constitutes a serious offense. Can’t see anything wrong with that.

CANADA DOESN'T NEED A SMALL ~pp~
