Oh. Cool. Just as the President is using every power he can to suppress dissent and stifle speech, @whitehouse.senate.gov and the @judiciarydems.senate.gov are trying to hand Trump a new tool to suppress speech online.

Under the Trump admin’s new policy, dependent children of visa applicants are not allowed to have their social media set to private during the entire visa process. They MUST make their social media public.

VIA Rail is obviously being cheap (or is so economically non-viable that it's resorting to this). This is just terrible.
Not sure those unfamiliar with the geography of Eastern Ontario appreciate how absurd it is Via forced passengers to sleep overnight at the station in Brockville
Brockville is only an hour and a half drive from Ottawa. Via couldn’t get buses to shuttle them back? How is there no contingency plan?

I think notwithstanding clause should require more political capital to pass.
If they want to fuck fundamental principles in the nation’s constitution… they should have to get it pass a 2/3 majority referendum or something?
A small group of politicians can’t just make such sweeping changes.
