It’s an election year in Canada and the race is close. Expect more feel good laws that don’t actually change much.

If you actually follow activists such as @walruswhisperer you will realize this is much more than a feel good law, this is huge and they have been pushing for this legislation for a very long time.

Oh I’m sure people have been backing this for a very long time. But the reason it’s become law at this time is the election.
