    Ah the ol’ “tough on crime” conservative key-jangling eh.

    A) it makes everything worse B) it only applies to people not beloved by the conservatives C) it never gets fixed

    Choose well!

    I’m sure that no one would ever think to abuse this. The conservative government has always been strictly honest, right?

      Surely they will spam the non-withstanding order responsibly like when Donald Trump often uses the corrupt US supreme court to bail himself out of legal rulings.

    Notwithstanding how illegal it is, of course. It’s almost funny how bad PP is at looking relatable when speaking publicly, he talks like a tiny baby who’s upset that he has to share his toys. Serious loser energy.

    Imagine needing a different slogan every day just to remind people that you’re not only full of hate, you are also stupid, uncreative, and inflexible.

    very typical con move: invent an enemy, make threat imminent, crank up insanity, bust controls, drop reporting, claim victory.

    Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre insisted Wednesday that his promised three-strikes law wouldn’t run afoul of the Constitution, after several justice experts said some of his crime policies are likely to get struck down by the courts.

    Sure, I’ll trust the guy with a BA in international relations over literal experts in the law!

    Like the corrupt monopolies pillaging our country?

    No? Just more punishment for the poor, homeless, and mentally-ill, huh? So the usual, but worse.
