I really think what’s getting lost in all of the blame game bullshit is that at least 83 people have been murdered by the United States. There is no moral high ground for any of you, this has been allowed to happen. 83 people have been killed without any proof of wrongdoing. JFC!

The use of the Notwithstanding Clause is out of control. It’s up to voters to stop it
The architects of Canada's Charter of Rights and Freedoms thought the Notwithstanding Clause would only be used in exceptional circumstances. Conservative premiers seem determined to prove them wrong.

Vassy: I think back to the last time we, as a country,were in a crisis in 2008–09. Why was it okay for Harper to spend on infrastructure then and not now?
Scheer: The difference was targeted investments after years of balanced budgets
Except that Harper ran 5 straight deficits but that was ok? 🤦🏽♂️🙄
