@dyckron #PierrePoilievre recognised the housing crisis before the NDP, and his plans are at least as likely to solve it as those of the Liberals: https://youtu.be/SozqexLpyXE?si=P76GoyhEscTY9GNI

*Update:* Mr. Singh was talking about the housing crisis before Mr. Poilievre. I regret my error.

Liberals claim to be the party of law and order now. Inside the party's about-face on crime | CBC News

After years of criminal justice reform that included a lighter touch for some offenders, the federal Liberal government has done an about-face over the last year and enacted stricter policies to tamp down on crime rates that have become a political liability in some vote-rich parts of the country.

I can imagine Mr. Charest challenging PM Trudeau and winning the election. As PM, I suspect the two of them (and Mr. Carney for that matter) would have had similar policies.

We could have different rules, and there'd be advantages and disadvantages in doing so, but the current rules are not "unfair".

2. What I most liked about Mr. Poilievre for the leadership was how he saw the problems many Canadians faced (e.g., the housing crisis), and he spoke to them. Mr. Charest, on the other hand, had the advantage of experience and not being considered obnoxious by many Canadians...

"Mark Carney has named Manitoba judge Glenn Joyal to the Supreme Court, and the appointment is good news for a reason that has little to do with how he will rule in specific cases. Joyal is that rare thing on a high court: a judge who thinks judges have become too powerful. He has argued for years, at some professional cost, that the bench has crept into territory belonging to the legislatures, and that the cure is more judicial modesty, not less."

Ben Woodfinden: Finally — new Supreme Court justice doesn't think he's above Parliament

Glenn Joyal has been warning about judicial overreach for decades

@virtuous_sloth I'm mostly content policy-wise; but then I didn't vote for the Liberals expecting one thing and then get something very different — it was dishonest, and we shouldn't tolerate that.

"It’s Mr. Carney’s refusal to attend more than a handful of Question Periods, even when he is in Ottawa, as if the raucous, rancorous daily hazing of government ministers were beneath him, and not an integral part of his job: the basic requirement of accountability, without which power has no legitimacy."

"It’s also the high-handed treatment of Parliament involved in passing these bills, whether by means of omnibus legislation combining bills with comically disparate purposes, which MPs are obliged to pass at one go; or by arbitrary limits on how long each bill might be debated, or what sorts of amendments might be entertained."

"It isn’t just the willingness to ride roughshod over important civil liberties, from the rights of asylum claimants to an independent hearing to the rights of internet users not to have the police snooping into their data to the manifest privacy violations implied by Bill C-22, the Lawful Access Act, and Bill C-34, the Safe Social Media Act."
