TLDR: The Liberals proposed Strong Borders Act law includes extraordinary new powers for law enforcement to coerce businesses and other service providers like doctors to give up client information without the need of a warrant. All law enforcement needs is 'reasonable grounds to suspect' an offence has been (wait for it) or will be committed.
Law enforcement has been pushing for these powers for a long time now. Similar legislation was proposed in 2012 but at the time there was much public outrage. Of course that was under a conservative government so Canadian liberals went bonkers over having their rights trampled but now that the Liberals want to do it. Crickets from the populous.
We are all just brainwashed frogs in boiling water here in the Great White North.
Sats for all, GR
The liberals in canada are for strong borders and authoritarian rules? I'm so confused, why is everything so topsy turvy over there

Cognitive dissonance.

I know right? That sounds like something only a literal Hitler would do.

Yeah but if literal Hitler keeps the evil conservatives (literal, literal hitler) out of power is he really that bad?

Super convenient when your scapegoat thrives on "bad" press coverage

They are going to milk Trump and the 51st state rhetoric for all they can.
