“This (law) is the most significant rollback of refugee rights in Canada in over a decade,” said Adam Sadinsky of the Canadian Association of Refugee Lawyers. “It’s disappointing that Canada has joined other countries in a race to the bottom in terms of protection of rights for migrants and vulnerable people.”

The behavior of the liberals over the past decade or so made me wonder how and why did anyone think of liberals as being 'soft'. These guys have hearts of stone.

    It's because what happened in the US is happening here. Both major parties are owned by the rich ruling class. We have two right-wing parties and neither of them care for actual people.

    Stone? Whatever their hearts are, it’s something capable of being rotten. I just don’t understand why we thought electing the party that cancelled electoral reform, specifically because they’d lose if we had a real say, would actually give a shit about us. People get real aggressive with their speculation on what the NDP is and isn’t capable of but the Liberals keep showing us who they are those same people keep voting for them.

    Embarrassing.
