      any time a government is trying to fast track a bill, every resident should be paying special attention; no matter their party of choice.

      pretty crazy that this came from the Liberals

        Wow, theyre prioritizing the well being of the country over the environment and indigenous people?

        Its like they’re finally trying to keep us in a first world standard of living; because they were about to be destroyed as a party entirely if they did not.

          Promised actions of good should never come at the expense of any singular group, minority, people.

          In addition destroying our land to fuel the economic engine will only benefit capitalist systems and corporations.

          I’ve yet to see how this would sustainably benefit foreign people in their own country so to import this into Canada seems ridiculous.

            It only benefits corporations huh, do you not work for a corporation yourself?

            Its an export of a product, which derives tax revenue, which derives income taxes, which results in government programs to help the poor. Pretending like its not vital in our ecosystem is silly, its our food source, it provides us building materials, corporate exports give your dollar value and are the red blood cells of society.

                Everyone hates Trump so much but have learned nothing. Don’t you get it? Parties are just a tool for populists, and that is exactly what Carney is.

                I am definitely not a communist but didn’t Marx say something about false consciousness? Keep worshiping the rich because they are on your “team” and you’ll pay for it. Yeah elect a billionaire to fight another billionaire and the people are somehow going to benefit? It’s ridiculous.

                  Seems like a no lose scenario for the Liberals: Courts will strike this down and the Liberals take another talking point away from the Conservatives.

                      Your well being depends on the environment and any improvement to your well being should not come at a detriment to the people your country colonized and genocided.

                      Environmental protection acts do not exist to protect the environment. They exist to protect you from what business owners will do to your environment in the name of profit seeking.

                          Take from one group of poor people to benefit another group of poor people? That doesn’t sound like a good thing to me.

                            You receive a miniscule percentage of the value you create for your employer. The employer needs profits to increase constantly in order to provide value to the shareholders. When the total value of the company increases you at best receive the same cut of the value your produce. Usually though, your percentage cut decreases relative to total value so that the employer can extract greater value as demanded by shareholders. You aren’t paid out of the profits, they take a cut of the value you produce by virtue of owning the company. This is why wages do not increase proportionally to productivity. I am not spouting nonsense, you just aren’t equipped to understand what I am saying.

                              Found the manager. Businesses pay employees as little as is legally possible in many cases while raking in huge profits.

                                I think had we had a minority Conservative gouvernent with a strong NDP opposition, we would be in a much better situation.

                                I hate the conservatives but fuck the liberals for being dishonest hypocritical pieces of shit.

                                  Not really. Setting aside the obvious “liberalism is the precursor to fascism,” this is simply modern day colonialism, and when have liberals ever opposed colonialism?

                                      Revenue and profits are not the same thing. If you’re going to abrasively assert stuff, at least don’t be wrong.

                                        I’m upset that more deference to House MPs’ summer vacation was given in the Senate than the potential impact to our rights.

                                        I’m still cautiously optimistic about Bill C-5 (though Bill C-2 needs to either be scrapped or massively reworked IMO), since there could be bills to amend the laws again, or matters of discretion that come out of this summer’s consultation.

                                        The power is in the government now in law, but the civil and legal pushback will come depending on how forceful the government attempts to use this newly gained power.

                                          good grief. you either have a DEEP misunderstanding of the words “liberalism” and “fascism” or you’re a troll.

                                          or perhaps a descendant of Mussolini?
