    you’re OK with it because you like the policy.

    That’s not what I said. You need to differentiate between acknowledgements and endorsements. Those statements are facts, not my wishes.

    You sound like someone who’s never been in a position of responsibility. Who’s never had to make a decision knowing that someone would be upset or even harmed.

    I have written multiple letters regarding Bills C-2 and C-5 griping their lack of oversight and potential over reach. Also wrote letters about his whole, “No budget” plan.

    This is policy. We can hold our politicians accountable without devolving conversations to gossip and ad hominins.

      OK, well, it really seemed like you were defending the PM’s policy direction. Even as I re-read what you wrote, I’m struggling to find an alternative explanation.

      Anyway if the political game is to pander to what people are demanding, then isn’t it the role of the people to be vocal about what they want?

      If you are as worried about Bills C-5 and C-2 as you say, then why defend the PM being nice to Premier Smith, who many Liberals were literally calling a traitor just a couple months ago?

      Why defend the PM being nice to Doug Ford, who is trying to ram through anti-democratic “special economic zones” legislation in Ontario’s Bill 5?
