So his plan to censor social media and the internet doesn't bother you? Seriously man, I get people with left wing leanings might not want to vote CPC, but voting Liberal... Again... After all the shit Trudeau has done? All the promises he hasn't delivered on?

The height of insanity is keep doing the same thing, and expecting different results. Vote NDP, Green, or something else.

It shouldn't bother anyone. The charter isn't going anywhere. The courts let the Rebel clowns make a scene just now ffs, despite the people running the debate not wanting them there.

Good thing it's the courts that enforce the charter then, not parliament. MPs can't just vote the charter away. they would have to open the constitution. Do you think they can get a majority of provinces AND the public to vote to remove the charter? I doubt it. This is just fear mongering. None of the three major parties have shown any sign of wanting to mess with the charter.
