Canada

How long before a new government amends it again to strike the Criminal Code exception?

These people think we won't do anything about their bullshit, and they can't wait to call us all Convites if we show up in Ottawa to protest.

I think it's time for a general strike, regardless of whether or not they back down. This won't stop until we show them where it leads.

If you can ignore laws whenever you want then they're not laws.

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.

Gee, I can guess what laws these will be used to bypass 🙄

Carney is doing everything PP wishes he could do. Nothing but a scam.

What happened to the rule of law? This is undermining public transparency and the role of parliament in much the same way that Trump has neutered the US Congressional branch and centralized power in the admin. If you're pissed off at Danielle Smith and Doug Ford, this is just as bad!

For anyone else who likes to go straight to the source, it's on pages 300-302 of the bill.

I wasn't expecting much from a literal banker, but what the heck Carney? Just... what?
