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

You don't get to decide who's Canadian

Good that I didn't, huh? Considering I explicitly called you a Canadian and an ex-pat Canadian and said "If you insist on being Canadian." So already you're just inventing shit to be upset over.

I'm realy not concerned about how my tone makes you feel

No, I've looked through your comment history. You've made it abundantly clear you aren't concerned with what anyone thinks.

The guy/girl was straight-up lying

Oh I'm sorry. I was unaware that if you believe someone else is lying you are given cart blanche to be as unbearable as humanly possible and try to beat the arrogant smug with more arrogant smug of your own. Please. By all means. Do carry on.

I will not apologise for pointing that out.

Nor did I tell you do.

I simply said that you are never going to convince anyone to listen to you when you're behaving the way that you are. You are acting like a toddler. You are throwing a temper tantrum and lashing out. To anyone from the outside, it seems like a liar who made up reading the act is being yelled at by a child who cannot control his own temper.

Keep thinking that you won in this situation when you both lost.

Good luck with that. Just keep it in mind when you wonder why no one wants to listen to you, why no one cares what you think, and why everyone you talk to seems to utterly ignore your opinion.

Flies, vinegar and honey. Try googling it sometime. Have fun throwing your own pity party, don't expect the rest of us to show up to it.

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.
