Pretty much every group in Canada is opposed to this bill, except for law enforcement, the Brampton city mayor, and the Canadian Centre for Child Protection (C3P).

michael geist. yes pretty much everybody knowledgeable about this bill, regardless of political stripes are against this bill. except for the party in power.

the media spends almost all of their time attacking the opposition leader instead of the current pm (who has a majority gov), so people are unfortunately quite under informed on c22 and other things the gov is doing.

CPC should take down the punching bag if they're tired of it being used.

The votes for this bill seem to indicate that nearly all MPs regardless of party voted in favour, and none of them voted against.

I'm embarrassed, I searched for the vote, and looked at the results of wrong bill C-22:

I didn't even read the text or look at the date... Reading what that C-22 was actually about I'm glad that one got a near unanimous yes vote.

And seeing the actual results makes me more hopeful that the senate may not allow it through.

tbf the way they post these things online is pretty confusing...

i do not have much faith in the senate but i would be pleasantly surprised. the fact 100 of them were appointed by the previous liberal government does not have me optimistic however.
