Write your MP ASAP. This bill is unacceptable, unconstitutional, and unCanadian.

I think we all need to take a step back here, and remember that there are human beings behind every account.

We're getting into increasingly into name calling territory. Can we get back to talking about the bill?

OK so I read the intro/backgrounder, and skimmed the full doc (it's 140 pages, like c'mon, unless you're a retired politico you aren't reading that), and I pretty much agree with most people here. I don't have much interest in the number of rich immigrants are granted access, but I am concerned about the increase in police search powers, and restrictions on asylum seekers. If they have a legitimate case, why would we impose a hard time limit on them?

Also the fact that fentanyl is specifically mentioned (and highlighted in a heading of the backgrounder) is... embarrassing.

I would love to see trakata address Daniel Quinn's specific questions, since they are probably one of the very few Canadians who has actually read the bill. I know people who work at CBC, and they haven't even read it.
