Do you have specific examples? Or is this a commentary on just how much you can afford to spend on a legal team?

Anyone with “generational trauma”?

So maybe I’m very misinformed, but I’m unsure how this is an example of different rules. Care to elaborate? I can generously grant that social pressure/policy/issues don’t provide supports but the legal framework doesn’t to my knowledge favour any one class (aside from how much you want to spend on a legal team), and further, such effects are often taken into consideration by judges (if and when it gets that far).

Who’s gunna stop them, another sub-50% voter turnout because the Canadian electorate ranges from insane conservative morons to completely uninformed “moderates” with only a small amount of progressives who often get easily scared into letting the center and right get away with shit like this?
