Write your MP ASAP. This bill is unacceptable, unconstitutional, and unCanadian.

I was going to ask the same. I don't know who this guy is, but he seems to be jumping to conclusions.

Our federal government has over and over said that our partnership with the States is done. There's no reason for us to come up with "draconian" bills to appease to Taco Chicken.

And none of our leadership have spouted anti-immigrant rhetoric like they do in the States.

The Liberals don't even have a majority government, so we don't have to be hysterical and act like this is a Totalitarian Dictatorship like they have in the States. The opposition can bring up their points, amend the bill if necessary, and move on.

Maybe you should tell the Public Safety Minister.

Anandasangaree said Tuesday that Bill C-2 was drafted to contain "elements that will strengthen the relationship" between Canada and the U.S.

"There are a number of items in the bill that have been irritants for the U.S. so we are addressing some of those issues," he said. "But it's not exclusively about the United States."

It's a fact that the States are more of a problem than Canada when it comes to illegal drugs and weapons. So this "relationship between Canada and the States" is really more like "to protect Canada from the States" without saying that. LOL

It will prevent refugees/asylum seekers from the US coming into Canada when the shit really hits the fan down there.

What part of the bill says that?
