Maybe.

I don't think this will be of large consequence for the federal government either way.

Nah.

These are small potatoes.

The Morneau thing did some damage, but there are resolutions to these issues and not enough lost votes over them if you just go by the numbers.

In fact, they actually avoided political loss by playing this one right and gained a seat in Quebec.

Wishful thinking. Trudeau will be paying for this.

“We have a Charter of Rights and Freedoms … when governments, regardless of which stripe, do not defend those rights, Canadians have to pay. I hope people take notice of this. I hope people are angered that governments violated people’s fundamental rights. And I hope people remember to demand of governments, this one and all future governments, that nobody ever has their fundamental rights violated.” --Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

Unless you live in Quebec.

Clearly, you just want that, but it's not going to happen.

This is positioned as a Quebec instigated problem and it's likely going to be rejected in courts later either way.

People recognize that we do not have a perfect system.

These things happen from time to time but are eventually corrected.

harper lost because he didn't have a snappy catch-phrase like Sunny Ways or Budgets balance Themselves (we all know they do)

Harper lost because he abandoned fiscal conservatism. Social conservatism doesn't sell in Canada. Harper was fine, in eyes of Canadians, as long as he kept the nutty so-cons on a leash and managed the books effectively. He did neither.

Spine. . . shilling?

A bob fer yer backbone, guv!

I could care less about your mocking of others mangling the English language

Clearly, you are incapable of criticizing your golden boy.
As extreme as those you criticize for being extreme.

JT has undermined the demographic that had supported him... In one fell swoop, he pissed-off the enviro vote by approving pipelines and further removed himself from any resource sector votes (unions incl) by virtue of moving the goal posts on the regulatory side of things.

Add in the proposed tax hikes to small business, later reversed but leaving that entire group with the knowledge that they are a target in future.... Unlike his Finance Minister that is doing his best Marie Antoinette impression in the South of France

Buddy sure has a piss poor plan for shoring up any support in the next year

The Flossy-types are the only demographic tater tot has left

You measuring how big of troll you two are??
Since it doesn't benefit either of you two directly it is a worthless project. You two are what is useless around here as that would be for the benefit of many generations that are going to follow. If you want all the money that is available until you both are dust then your love for your own children is pretty disgusting by any standards.
I don't have kids because I decided to remain single and party hardy. That is a lot kinder to a kid than when you party and try to be a parent at the same time. I can come up with ideas that are heritage events which means I care about those generations more than you pricks do. How are you going to be able to make me feel bad about that. hahahaha
