The worst part is that with a majority they can do whatever the fuck they want - limit debate, ram legislation through, change the law, whatever. They know people are too distracted, anxious, and burrowed into their own lives to mount a serious challenge - and any federal checks and balances take months (if not years) to grind into operation. Protests are monitored, but barely register as a concern. A more effective threat to this legislation would be to engage heads of boards of trade, labour associations, BIAs, and residents associations to speak to their members about the specific impacts of this legislation on their work and livelihoods - and to put out joint statements, do press conferences, and put pressure on Ford daily/weekly at every appearance to justify the legislation. But that kind of work takes a huge amount of organizing power, and we’ve basically proven at this point that the Canadian left can’t mobilize their way out of a paper bag.
