Ultimately ideology defines all decisions the court makes

Excellent

> The Conservatives said flatly they won't support the throne speech, while the Bloc Québécois said it won't support it unless the government boosts health care transfers to the provinces with no strings attached.

For those unaware, the Conservatives are more concerned with "cutting costs" than helping Canadians. They opposed CERB, and have been attacking liberals for not "reigning in spending"

Note: That spending they're complaining about is offering social assistance during a global pandemic.

I'm so happy the liberals didn't win a majority. NDP are really taking this chance to actually help Canadians.

In fact I think a liberal-NDP government is how we got single payer healthcare to begin with?

Oh also, the new Conservative leader has covid lol cbc.ca/news/politics/…

The aptly name O'toole. He was just on some huge tour or something. Pictures a bunch of times without a mask, but sounds like it was just during the photo ops.

A Branson man has been charged with assault after an Ozark police officer broke his hand punching the man in the face several times. news-leader.com/story/news/crime/2020/09/16/…

This happening so soon after the Breonna Taylor officers getting Scott free is just such a perfect example of how corrupt the US legal system is.

I wonder if they'll decide to charge Breonna Taylor with assaulting the bullets that killed her.
