I think Poilievre is also preying on people not understanding how our judicial system works. When someone is "eligible for Parole after 25 years" the key word is eligible. Our most heinous criminals will die in prison, but at a certain point, they have to right to go before the parole board, and I think that's a good thing.

I wouldn't say that's the case. Doug Ford got huge push-back for using it, to the point he repealed a piece of legislation that invoked it. Similarly, I don't think Poilievre would experience "no real consequences".

Plus, as pointed out in the article, "The clause can only override certain sections of the charter." IANAL, but I'm sure this (and Poilievre's other proposals to invoke the clause) will be reviewed by the courts.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Personally, I don't think it'll have a large impact, but I honestly don't know.

Though is far too early for any backlash to show up in polls.

EDIT a word

Judge Jamee Comans said Friday that she had no authority to question Rubio's determination.

So, if an immigration judge can't question the Secretary of State's determination, who can?

I know a lot of firms missed on the 2016 election, but the last two (plus the midterms) have all been within the margin of error.

The polls are wrong more often than not.

[citation needed]

Polls are generally pretty good, especially for reliable polling firms. The problem is people don't understand what they mean, and media often does a poor job at explaining them.

Does anyone have a link to the letters and signatories? It's really annoying when news articles like this report on "publicly available" news but don't provide the sources. My internet sleuthing isn't turning up anything either.

I'd really like to see the details of the letter and who signed on.

This report from Public Health Ontario has additional information. It shows that 84.7% were Unimmunized and 9.7% were Unknown/no proof of immunization (page 5).

Fair, but in that case I don't think that's "human error" but instead "negligence".

This isn't something new for HBC. From what I can see, they've has been foreign owned since at least 2006 and have claimed Canadianism hard for the last couple decades.
