“Hidden in the federal government’s 634-page omnibus bill C-15, the Budget Implementation Act, is a measure that has so far escaped scrutiny. Under the pretext of regulatory efficiency, Prime Minister Mark Carney plans to grant cabinet ministers the power to exempt any individual or company from any federal law on the books — except for the Criminal Code — for up to six years.”

    Gee, I can guess what laws these will be used to bypass 🙄

    Carney is doing everything PP wishes he could do. Nothing but a scam.

        Chances are it will bolster the bill he passed in the summer so he can do the abundance thing and build shit like the pipeline and housing without consultation. By “he” I obviously mean the private sector.

      Worse. He’s acting like he’s running a dynasty and doesn’t seem to be aware that when he loses the next election he’s done Pollievre a huge favour…not just because all the legislation he’s passing is right out of the last Conservative platform.
