These bills, along with C-22 and C-9 constitute a total erosion in Canada’s basic liberties. They interlock into making Canada essentially unviable for those with choices on where to build.

Nine months of debate. Hundreds of speeches. Lengthy committee hearings. Amendments. Senate review. And Conservatives are still trying to block Bill C-9, Canada’s anti-hate bill from protecting Canadians. Watch and decide 👇

3. Following Majcher's acquittal last month, they spoke to @globalnews about the case & the flaws they believe it exposed in Canada's national security apparatus. The full story: globalnews.ca/news/11891189/…

This is the point. Same will happen in all countries that will make social media age restrictions. “Won’t someone think of the children” is usually not about the children

Yesterday, I was in London visiting local Liberals. I wish I could say I enjoyed the day, but I didn’t. Not at all. I’m going to say it bluntly. The situation in downtown London is a total catastrophe. I live downtown east in Toronto. My family is in Hamilton. I’ve travelled to a lot of cities in the province. The plight of Ontarian’s suffering from severe addictions and homelessness has become a huge problem everywhere. Two years ago, when I last visited London, I thought it was getting rough. Just like so many of our urban centers under the Ford era’s provincial decline. But downtown London now? DYSTOPIA. I feel completely disgusted by what we’ve allowed to happen. It is totally immoral. It should be treated as a provincial and national emergency. And by the way, downtown London is otherwise GORGEOUS. Even if half the storefronts are closed. One of the regional MPPs, @RobFlackEML, is Minister of Housing and Municipal affairs. How can you let this happen to your city? How can we turn such a blind eye to the suffering? How do you tolerate the billions of dollars your government spends on scandalous priorities as this gets ignored? How can London possibly attract better jobs, people, and employers when its downtown is like this? - - - It also made me realize that my plans on this file are not enough. Money for supportive and transitional housing, secure rehab and mental health facilities, ODSP benefits, etc may be sufficient to stop more people from ending up on the street. But there are an estimated 2,300 people homeless in London. Many need shelter, treatment, medium-to-long term care. The new HART Hub has 60 beds. It’s inadequate by an order of magnitude. I met with a local shelter providing detox and transitional housing services (who is being shut down later this year, no less). Even when they form people (involuntary entry into hospital/ward to prevent violence or self harm), they are usually out in 24hrs. It’s not the hospitals fault… they don’t have the space. There is no space for people who voluntarily want rehab. Or those who don’t want it voluntarily. Police move people around blocks. There is nowhere for them to go. I left feeling sick and daunted. We have failed so many people.

Cabinet would gain powers to exempt Chinese imports from slave labour ban under Bill #C35 tabled Friday. PM @MarkJCarney has already granted Chinese automakers access to Canadian market though their battery electric cars include slave-made parts. blacklocks.ca/slave-bill-loo… @Rob_Oliphant @yfblanchet #cdnpoli
