"Hidden in the federal government’s 634-page omnibus bill C-15, the Budget Implementation Act, is a measure that has so far escaped scrutiny. Under the pretext of regulatory efficiency, Prime Minister Mark Carney plans to grant cabinet ministers the power to exempt any individual or company from any federal law on the books — except for the Criminal Code — for up to six years."

Well fuck. I had high hopes for this man based on his leadership during the '08 crash. I was an idiot to think he'd be any better than the rest of the political scumbags who lead our cities, provinces and country.

Maybe it's time we have a nation-wide strike, before things get worse than they are now.

I voted for him because I dreaded what the conservatives would do if they got elected. Now I see that there isn't much of a fucking difference. If anything he might be even worse. No wonder Trump endorsed him.

He's a banker. Not an industry know for its charitable behaviour and history of being tough on big business.

The Prime Minister is a figurehead, the party is a shield. Look for the contractors and advisors who actually drafted the bill. Then look for where they work when not advising to the government. That's where you will fimd the real enemies of the people.
