Yes. You said the Liberals are "hell-bent on passing this motion into law" but I haven't seen any indicators at all that the Canadian Parliament intends to turn this motion into an enforceable law. I'll admit that because my exposure to Canadian politics is huge but if they were truly planning something like this then it'd more than likely have been reported on by now.
And there's the operative word: "if". You've gone from saying the Liberals are going to turn this motion into a law to saying if they turn it into a law. Just because they have the option of doing something like this doesn't mean they necessarily will.
Please don't conflate a general statement with a specific one.
IF the Liberals
are going to turn this (any) motion into a law, they can't be stopped. That's general.
"Liberals are "hell-bent on passing this motion into law" That's specific. And I haven't changed my position. M103 will soon be law.
There's a lot more going on in Canada that just this one story which brings me to this conclusion. For instance, the vote on M103 was initially scheduled for late April, and was then suddenly moved to March 23. Some sources claim this was done at Iqra Khalid's request. But that's neither here, nor there.... Isn't it interesting that this date just happens to coincide with the 77th anniversary of the creation of Pakistan. Significant? (I believe so.)
Then there's the matter of moving the Immigration Case Processing Center from a small rural Alberta town (destroying the local work force and economy in the process) to a Liberal controlled riding in Edmonton. Although any "connection" is just simply one of pure speculation, a number of Syrian migrants were recently settled in this riding. One has to wonder if they'll be offered the new jobs as well.
The local officials of that small town had sent a delegation to Ottawa earlier this year and were told by Liberal officials that their impact studies "were all wrong." When they asked to see the studies that the Federal government had done - they discovered that there weren't any. The decision was being made from the top - down.
When they told federal officials that the town would be devastated by the move, the Liberal governments response to the delegation was; "Get used to being poor."
It's this kind of BS by this current Liberal government that leads me to have perfect faith that M103 will soon be the law of the land. JT is demanding it for his friends.
But this isn't the first incursion of the Canadian government into the arena of free speech. And I seriously doubt it will be the last, either.
"An interesting spanner was thrown into the works with the release of an Angus Reid Institute survey that morning. It asked Canadians how they’d vote if they were MPs. A plurality of 42% said they’d vote against it. While only 29% would give it the go ahead.
The rest opted for “don’t know / abstain.”
