This is bad:

This would give a minority government the ability to tax and spend without any support from Parliament. Regardless of what your political stripe is everyone needs to understand how bad this is. We would have an unaccountable government when it comes to our money.

Money will definitely be a problem if it's just wasted. Canada would be so broke,if it cost $1 to go around the world,we won't be able to afford to get out of sight. I'm much more concerned what this unaccountable minority government can do to our civil rights.

Thankfully, Scheer saw through that Trojan horse, and refused to support the bill until amended......

The problem will be with the other leftist parties backing the Liberals,they'll literally have "Carte Blanche" to enact any legislation they want. Left wing parties like the NDP and Green's being big on control and socialist/quasi-communist dogma,aren't real big on common sense,fiscal restraint and civil rights.They could quite easily steamroll the opposition and until there's another election,they're isn't a damn thing we can do about it.

I’ll be honest and open ( when am I ever not)

I’ve taken to meditating again. My brain is hard wired to work certain ways. It’s been burning jet fuel the last month.

On one hand, even with this topic. I suspect it (or similar) is needed, going to be needed. On the other, or as a result, I’m “ terrified”.

So, meditating helps quite my mind. Remind me, it’s all out of my control. Whatever is coming, in the few days, over the week. Will Covid touch my house, or my daughters. The economic fallout that’s sure to come...

It’s going to be.

From what I’ve read, it will take all party buy-in to get passed.

Trimmer.

Facts are.
“Socialist” countries today, are faring better than we are.

And I imagine, will have a softer landing.

As I said. “Terrifying”

Socialist, 'light', countries are also the ' happiest' in the world. Led by Finland, Denmark, Norway, Switzerland and the Netherlands. They are also all in the top ten for 'quality of life'. Go figure.

We could do that,too,if we weren't too busy shutting down our "paycheque" industries like oil and gas,renewable natural resources production and sales. Besides,"socialist" politicians in Europe seem to take a more mature,common sense attitude towards fiscal and social responsibility and restraint than ours have shown of late.

People in 'socialist' countries work for the good of the 'state' and its people, not for the good of corporations, and their shareholder owners. Spread the wealth. Totally different mindset.
