Canada

I agree in part.

I'm genuinely curious, did you read the bill, or do you plan to? If so, I would seriously love to hear your take on it. I've read the backgrounder, and skimmed the actual bill. Even just doing that I'm sure I've read more of it than 99% of Canadians.

Generally speaking, if you've actually read and understand it, then I say it's your duty to help act as a vulgarizer so others can navigate it. It's easy to say that we value citizens' duty to educate themselves on their democracy, then figuratively cross our arms and say "well I read it and I don't agree" and refuse to elaborate, when asked for your informed (and valuable!) opinion--which is what certain people who claim to have read the bill in this thread appear to be doing.

I'm not trying to be cheeky. If you've (or anyone else has) read the bill and you care about our democracy, then please share your actual thoughts on the bill! So far all we seem to be doing is arguing meta amongst each about how to talk about bills, and not the fucking bill--pardon my language, this comment sections is frustrating me. it's not directed at you - you're cool. :)
