One politician arrested. That's a start.

So if you are the leader of a political party, you should have an exemption from being arrested when you go out of the way to break the law. How nice. This guy is attempting to sell himself and his party, and he is out for publicity. How is he liable to govern a country if he can't think of better ways to advertises his leadership capabilities, other than by breaking the law. What on earth could he be think of.

He got exactly what he wanted, he's been aiming to be arrested for some time. Now he can kick and scream in attempts to garner a larger following.

Just maybe he is simply defending our rights and freedom.
It is not always self serving. There are a few honest politicians out there willing to take a stand on our behalf.

Actually I’d give Max points for defending our rights and freedom in the platform his party set out during the last election campaign. Unfortunate too many voters saw other political leaders or platforms more too their liking. That said, his recent efforts to defend our rights and freedom, come up hollow, when he chooses to break the law to do so. Granted he has an up hill build to give his party enough prominence to garner votes. Setting himself up as a law breaking revolutionary, goes to character and may not be the best approach.

Thats exactly what he's doing.
Much better leader than any other offering out there imo.
Its to bad Max and Pierre couldn't join forces to rule the land.

I don't think Pierre would give Max a thumbs up.

Unjust and arbitrary laws contrary to the charter need to be challenged. Civil disobedience is a legitimate form of protest and if it results in arrest so be it. An arrest of a politician over this could be the wake up call many need. This does not go against his character in my opinion, it shows he actually has a spine and is willing to stand up for something.

I am not going to equate Max to Mandela, Ghandi or King but how did those men bring about change in their societies? Through civil disobedience, peacefully breaking unjust laws and suffering the consequences.

Depending on how this plays out, he probably has my vote. Before someone goes on about splitting the conservative vote, there is always a reason to not split the conservative vote. Right now it is to get rid of Trudeau ok, lets say we get a Conservative minority, then it will be don't split the vote we need a majority. After a majority it will be, don't split the vote we need to keep the majority. When does the time come to make the change?

The fearless leader Maxine. The same guy who was forced to quit Cabinet in the Harper government because he left classified secret documents at his girlfriend’s apartment back in 2008. Maxine for PM, and Randy Hillier for Premier. Two of the great minds in Canadian politics right there.
