Forgive my bluntness, but I don’t want an edgelord crypto bro as Prime Minister.
If it makes you feel better, he is just faking it for political expediency.
Also, Beyak's son is fully defending her with thoughts such as that he can't believe anyone would think that priests and nuns couldn't do good and that no logical person would think they could do harm.
Um...... ><'
Unless it's in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms anything Trudeau enacts can be just as easily canceled by his successor. But really, no one is asking for this, just leave it alone. Canada is not a theocracy like the USA, their abortion policy has as much weight on us as whatever they do in Brazil.
This victory will embolden the pro-lifers in the CPC. Interim leader had to order Conservative MPs and Senators to keep their traps shut following the leak.Unless it's in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms anything Trudeau enacts can be just as easily canceled by his successor.

Good. Then Canadians will see their true colours and vote them into the hinterland. Trudeau's no dummy as he triggers and provokes the theocratic base of the CPC to react.This victory will embolden the pro-lifers in the CPC.
Lets look at that in ratios, for both countries Pro Choice to Pro Life
Canada 6:1
U.S. 1.4: 1
Not the same starting place, at all.
And yet despite the US having a clear majority in favour of access to abortion, they are moving to reduce those rights.
I don't think the risk is as low as people think in Canada. What is stopping any government from weaponizing the courts, the way that Republicans did in the US? We don't require any parliamentary consultation at all for judicial appointments. And a fixed retirement age of 75, gives any scheming government plenty of runway to remake the courts. The only difference between Canada and the US, is that we don't have an institution designed to enable minoritarian rule, as they do with their Senate. But in theory, if we got a sufficiently motivated party that managed to hold on to power for 10-15 years, they could start down the same path the Americans went.
Don't let your guard down ...There is no system beyond corruption, and/or corrosive behavior.
But the Canadian Court has a long-standing reputation, and so far both parties have rarely shown any inclination to politicize it..
The U.S. system of checks and balances produced what they have today.
I'm not opposed to reasonable checks and balances, but in the case of the Courts ......I'd rather see no trace of overt partisanship in the judiciary.
For the most part, we're there, here.
I'm not inclined to fix what isn't broken.
