How? Executive decree known as an "order in council."

Is this seriously the first time you've ever heard of an order in council. Did you fail grade 10 social studies, or did you just not even make it that far?

What a ####ing idiot.

As a foster parent I can bear this out, stupid kids have a far easier time than the smart ones, you tell em what to do and they tend to just do it once you have built up some trust, it's the smart kids that feel the need to question things and do it their way, try to find loopholes

They have a much higher upside but suffer way more in life

Don't worry Stickman/Conservative voters, I got this one for you:

https://mbimodularbuildinginstitute....nload/LyKQXG2p This might open your eyes a bit in the fact it's not anything new.

https://structures.atco.com/en-ca/mo...l-housing.html Oh weird! Even the heart of Alberta Atco also does it.

OMG Mark Carney invested in a company that doesn't operate in Canada!?!?
How can you Liberal Bootlickers vote for someone who doesn't believe in/won't even buy a company in Canada!

[Bring_Back_Shantz]

I did a little clean up for you.

A concept that is neither surprising, or frightening to people who understand how the Canadian Government works

Media coverage: Zero. Very little, because, it's kind of routine/expected business. If you want details they are published below where anyone can search for and see them.
It's all really quite transparent.

It’s good we’re fact checking StickMan. He’s shown the capacity for critical thinking and self reflection in his years here and never been one to completely ignore anything that doesn’t align with his far right ideology. Much like many of the conservative posters here that are constantly spoon fed facts, he will certainly consider them and is open to changing his mind, because he’s definitely not a bigot-brained, anti-Canadian social conservative frantically looking for any reason to take down any politician that doesn’t bend to the far right.

I'm sure that he will be back soon to address some of the posts that have challenged his position...

In a thoughtful manner that signals a true depth of human understanding and knowledge of the subject matter, no less.

[TorqueDog]

I know when I want to keep something a secret, I post it on the internet. Typically on a mainstream internet site, or especially a government site.

But seriously, stop quoting StickMan. STAHP.

[Scroopy Noopers]

Just got this. I offered a re-write free of charge.

It's Eden with Team Poilievre and the Conservative Party.

Can we count on your support to stop the Liberals from a 4th term in office?

STOP to Stop

How about “vote for us as we will stand for Canadians” or something. No? Just to stop the liberals? Pathetic messaging everywhere I look.

[TorqueDog]

Yup, it's more vacuous "owning the Libs / libs" nonsense that plays to their captive base and pretty much no one else.

I said it once, I'll say it again: when it comes to the Canadian electorate, the CPC couldn't read the room if it was tattooed on everyone's foreheads.

STOP to Stop.

The "STOP to Stop" is very confusing. Do I text "STOP" to stop the Liberals? Or do I text "STOP" to stop receiving these asinine text messages from you? And why did you randomly capitalize the second "stop"?

[Looch City]

I'm honestly surprised that the Carney hasn't somehow been tied to Cuban communists and Fidel Castro yet.

I mean come on, are ya'll even trying?? Amateur hour.

I didn’t read it like that without you pointing it out, that is hilarious.

They inadvertently have most of their supporters withdraw from their text group? Fantastic.

Came to say the same thing.
They can't even get a campaign text message right; who's in charge over there?

STOP Pierre Stop

[Yamer]

Don't. *stop* Stop. *stop* Thinking about tomorrow. *stop*

[troutman]

Dave, stop. Stop, will you? Stop, Dave. Will you stop Dave? Stop, Dave.

[Blaster86]

Don't try to stop me, Smee. Don't try to stop me this time, Smee. Don't try to stop me this time, Smee. Don't you dare try to stop me this time, Smee -- try to stop me. Smee, you better get up off your ass and over here, Smee. Stop me!
