    Pay attention when they’re telling you how Canadian democracy works. It’s historically worked this way. Money has played a big role and it’s only lessened when there’s been organized pushback. Capital has interest to do the opposite, and so it does. Unfortunately this also means we may have to spend more of our wages to push back. The ones who can afford it should take note.

    I suppose this “loophole” was intentional.

    (Disclaimer: the previous statement was made based on nothing but cynicism and decades of reading the news.)

      It always is. Lawyers write laws, often lobbying groups submitting what they want legislators to introduce as is… and they are extremely pedantic. Loopholes are 100% intentional.

    I guess it’s now the Liberals turn to make the last grasp for total power. Sure hope we make a crazy pivot to the NDP. Or we can smash the state, but honestly, we better do something.
