Oh, we’re going to do this again? We’re going to try to pass the same unconditional laws that Stephen Harper tried to pass then spent years and tens of millions of dollars defending all the way to the Supreme Court only to lose because everyone, including Harper, knew from the very beginning that they were unconstitutional?

Just fucking great. Can we not? Can you just roll your neo-fascist lack-of-virtue signalling into a cylinder and shove it up your fucking at instead?

    When will people realize that any policy you could think of after 3 beers might not be well thought out?

    Are we building more prisons? Is he backed by big prison?

    Do we want people to do insanely deadly things if they think they might get caught the third time? Would it be cheaper to take care of people so they don’t have to do seperate things?

      Harper spent a couple of billion dollars building new prison beds that CSC didn’t want or need because he was going to be tough on crime. Governors and former governors from states that had tried tough on crime told him that it didn’t work and not to do it. He did it anyway to lack-of-virtue virtue signal to his angry, hateful, moronic base. Then, one by one after spending years in court and hundreds of millions of dollars of our tax dollars, those unconstitutional laws were struck down by the Supreme Court.
