    Trump doesn’t deserve an apology for anything. On second thought, maybe the judge should apologize for not locking him up

      He’s not spineless, he’s capitulating. He’s also offering up access to our digital information to the US in bill C-2

      the only requirements to make an information demand is that the officer has “reasonable grounds to suspect” that any offence has been or will be committed under any Act of Parliament, and that the information they demand will assist in the investigation of that offence. “Reasonable grounds to suspect” is an incredibly low burden to meet–much lower than “reasonable grounds to believe”. Officers can thus make information demands even where they have nothing beyond a mere suspicion that an offence might be committed.

          He’s only spineless if you frame him as being in opposition to people like Trump, but consider for a moment that, much like US Democrats, they don’t oppose one another and are instead two sides of the same coin.

      He may be trying to play good pm / bad premier. Trump is a petulant child - it might be a practical way to manipulate him.

    There will never be a good trade deal with Trump. There will always be an excuse he will hide behind or manufacture.

    Get those fucking elbows up before it’s too late and we’re back at the polls listening to PP’s lost Liberal decade sloganeering all over again.
