Classic CBC. "Bill could lead to law enforcement acting more freely in Canada"

How does a US bill lead to this, without Canada actively allowing this? Can we use the active voice? Can we actually use words the way that journalists are supposedly able to?

Meanwhile, in the land of privately owned, for profit care…

Allegedly long term care homes have stopped using overnight adult diapers and are only using daytime ones because they’re cheaper.

Even though they allegedly compromise care.

Alberta launched its border patrol last year to help stop the flow of illegal drugs and migrants across what Premier Smith called the “leaky” U.S. border.

But the Interdiction Patrol Team has so far made only a handful of arrests, according to data released through an access to information request.

Ten months in, critics are concerned about the $29-million cost and few results from the initiative.

The Alberta UCP never campaigned on denying health care for trans youth. Doctors warn these laws will drive up depression and suicide. Now they’re hiding behind the notwithstanding clause.

No mandate.

Predictable harm.

Extraordinary abuse of power.

Both men were personal heroes not only because of their professional accomplishments but their character & commitment to making 🇨🇦 a better country.

PM Carney’s milestones = lower taxes, affordable homes, steel + jobs protected, peacekeeping, global alliances, support for Ukraine. 🇨🇦 All for Canadians.

Poilievre’s milestones = lost seat, scrambled for another, secured his own job. 🚨 Benefit: CPC & Poilievre.

Let that sink in.

Half of Canadians would be ‘ashamed’ to call Pierre Poilievre PM.
59% said Poilievre sounded too much like U.S. President Donald Trump, 59% said the campaign was too negative, and 70% said the party “didn’t articulate a clear plan for the country.” #cdnpoli
