I guess it's possible that it was a Liberal plant, but it has big "man vandalizes own house" energy.
They had no time at all - filming was already complete.
They were given a short amount of time (3 days IIRC) to film the epilogue, and by then most of the sets had been dismantled.
I think the word "movie" is a little misleading, but it makes sense that they would have wanted to do a full 2-hour "event" episode.
Just the flexibility to get it done on your own terms, really.
I'm by no means defending this move (it's dumb and bad, just like...everything else the US government does these days), but they seem to be delegating the inspections to individual states.
I assume at least some states will maintain good standards, and Canada will have to pay close attention to which states those are.
All told, I was in line for about 90(!) minutes yesterday. That was at least partly the luck of the draw, though - my polling place had two polling stations open, and the other one had a line the fraction of the length of mine.
I'm standing in line at the polls right now, and all I can say is to be prepared for long lines.

Probably. But no journalistic outlet is going to call it "lying" without proof that the leaders don't sincerely believe what they're saying.
And that sort of proof is hard to get.
The video is 1 hour 14 minutes long.
Absolute madness.
Respect.
From what I'm seeing on Mastodon, there was some kind of altercation between Ezra Levant and other reporters...
I don't doubt that this is true on balance, but the Danielle Smith jokes practically write themselves...
