The Ontario government is considering new laws that would give police greater powers to break up protests, issue fines, demand identification, and potentially arrest people who refuse to identify themselves.
If you are against this, AND YOU SHOULD BE, you have 2 days left to comment.

Pretty sure that would be against our rights and would need to go all the way to our supreme Court.
Montreal made it illegal to insult police. Even though supreme court already ruled that it’s our right to mock pigs if we choose.
Doug Ford, a former drug dealer, doesn’t care about what’s legal.
Not if they withstand the clause.
If the government denies law when inconvenient, then we’re all free from it. The same law that protects you from them, protects them from you. Take away the social contract and its gone.
Without protest for greivances, the only option for the agreived is escalation. If governments think manhandling protestors is hard work, its nothing compared to civil disobedience. Civil disobedience escalates into mobs and it goes on from there.
Protest is a form of pressure release, and a means to obtain redress of greivances.

There is a discussion happening in the States right now that seems relevant, about how the architects of their Constitution included impeachment as an alternative to assassination.While I agree with you, Canada’s history isn’t exactly full of times that modern Canadians rebelled against injustice by their government (except for the indigenous people) and extracted wins.
It was more often than not a peaceful protest, the government cracked down hard, and that’s about it.
Ford has wasted money on that before.
That’s all Cons are even capable of. At least the liberals pretend they care while they do it.
remember when we all laughed at his crack smoking brother?
Nothing more dangerous than an intellectually challenged narcissist. I’m never laughing at an idiot again, they’re horrifying.
I liked his crack smoking brother, even if he was kind of stupid
He literally did nothing and never showed up to work. Not much to hate.
Erm akshually, he showed up enough to torpedo the already funded Transit City plan that would’ve blanketed Toronto with LRT by 2020, so he can build 6 stops of subway.
That would be an improvement IMHO.
Right? Look who’s smoking crack now 👀
People need to fight against this gov. At the same time, commenting on these registry postings does fuck all. The comments against the bike lane removal bill were massive and persuasive. The Ford gov still gets away claiming people want this
Authoritarian shit.
Telling someone or something to fuck off is the last bit of freedom we have as “economical consumers”.
this goes back to people talking about fleeing the country. the folks doing this stuff is global and you are going to have to fight it no matter where you are.
Sig heil, mein Forder.
=. = no idiot
