The country got hoodwinked. So distracted by Poilievre that they snuck another Harper creature in to lead the Liberals.

I don't think there was any distraction. We had two shit choices and NDP. And since this country fails to elect NDP time after time, it was a given that we were pretty fucked. The main difference during this election between the parties that I saw were:
-
The Liberal platform didn't contradict itself every point or two
-
The Liberal platform focused a lot more on domestic tourism, accessibility, and making it easier to transport our own goods across provincial borders.
I don't see how bill C-5 fits into any of the platform they put forward.
I think had we had a minority Conservative gouvernent with a strong NDP opposition, we would be in a much better situation.
I hate the conservatives but fuck the liberals for being dishonest hypocritical pieces of shit.
The bourgeois parties are always hypocrites. They pretend to serve the people while their only material interest is capital. Give the manifesto a shot or if you don't want to read, listen to this speech by my favorite man. It changed my perspective on the world, genuinely.
Ohhh! I remember seeing clips of that video, but never the whole thing.
I'm upset that more deference to House MPs' summer vacation was given in the Senate than the potential impact to our rights.
I'm still cautiously optimistic about Bill C-5 (though Bill C-2 needs to either be scrapped or massively reworked IMO), since there could be bills to amend the laws again, or matters of discretion that come out of this summer's consultation.
The power is in the government now in law, but the civil and legal pushback will come depending on how forceful the government attempts to use this newly gained power.
So... it's possible the government might do something bad in the future, so we need to outraged about it now?
Yep.
Being complacent about how laws and ruling are currently being used, instead of being concerned about how they can be used, is why we've seen abortion bans and restrictions in the USA in recent years.
That happened because Americans developed a general paranoia of the government, and since the GOP was better at mobilizing the paranoid vote than the Democrats they started losing rights.
People in the US are generally angry at the Democrats for being incapable of doing anything so they voted for Trump in the false hope that things would change. Or not voting at all because the internet told them the whole system is broken (PP kind of messaging). But I guess changes happened, but not anything positive.
The left seems have become more like what conservatives used to be like. Opposing the government on any change in favour of symbolic traditionalism.
any time a government is trying to fast track a bill, every resident should be paying special attention; no matter their party of choice.
pretty crazy that this came from the Liberals

Not really. Setting aside the obvious "liberalism is the precursor to fascism," this is simply modern day colonialism, and when have liberals ever opposed colonialism?
good grief. you either have a DEEP misunderstanding of the words "liberalism" and "fascism" or you're a troll.
or perhaps a descendant of Mussolini?
Uh... We are literally in a thread about that in action. The next time conservatives are in power they'll be very thankful the liberals passed this.
yes we are in a thread, and we are witnessing some fascism from the Liberals, but that doesn't make your statement true. did you come over here from 4chan?
Everyone hates Trump so much but have learned nothing. Don't you get it? Parties are just a tool for populists, and that is exactly what Carney is.
I am definitely not a communist but didn't Marx say something about false consciousness? Keep worshiping the rich because they are on your "team" and you'll pay for it. Yeah elect a billionaire to fight another billionaire and the people are somehow going to benefit? It's ridiculous.
I am a communist and he did say something like that yeah. It had more to do with believing you understand why the working class struggles how it does because of some internal or external enemy corrupting the "pure nation" instead of class relations
WTF is happening in the world.
It is the beginning of the end.
Something something reset.
Seems like a no lose scenario for the Liberals: Courts will strike this down and the Liberals take another talking point away from the Conservatives.
That's... An excessively optimistic interpretation, to say the least.
