Remember the long-form census? Brutal.
That's my biggest issue. They have an ideological position by which they think the world "ought" to be like and anything that doesn't subscribe to that is just ignored or actively subverted.
Remember the prison bill?
Not a single researcher in Canada supported that thing as anything more than a huge waste of money that would have zero impact on crime. But no, criminals need to be punished! That's our policy objective!
Remember the Budget 2012?
Putting in hundreds of legislative changes that should have been debated in parliament within a budget to cover up and limit democratic process? Fundamental changes to the navigable waters act, environmental protect, defunding the National RoundTable on Environment and Economy because they were providing advice to the government on the most efficient ways to reduce GHGs.
