@MarcLevesqueEco He commented a few minutes ago. I'm not one to defend Singh, but I'd want to know if he was at home in his riding before casting too much judgment. Him commenting at 8:20am local time is quite different than waiting until 11:20am local time.

True with the last few 15 years of s.12 jurisprudence as well. Me: "Most courts have found that a 90 day mandatory minimum sentence for child molestation would shock the conscience of the community" Normies: "They're right!" Me: "Lol. No, not like that..."

The Government of Canada's greatest defence against criticism right now is that their various policy malfeasances are so insane that you sound crazy just trying to articulate them.
