> "The bill, which is the brainchild of Senator Julie Miville-Duchêne, is not a government bill. In fact, government ministers voted against it. Instead, the bill is backed by the Conservatives, Bloc and NDP with a smattering of votes from backbench Liberal MPs."

Remember, the opposition and the Senate can get bills through in a minority parliament.

So basically fuck everyone…except Trudeau? This is why I can’t take the fuck Trudeau crowd seriously. He’s their go-to bogeyman for everything.

That's a good point but it's worth noting that the NDP is backing it, as well as some Liberal MPs. For non-Canadians, NDP is our "far left" party. I don't mean that in a pejorative sense, just that our Liberal party tends to be your "mainstream" moderates and we have a 3rd party for the less moderate left-leaning voters. That's what the NDP is. So if they're backing this then that can only mean that there is bi-partisan support for this.
