The Senate has taken action to prevent the Liberals from creating their new 'infrastructure bank' by sneaking it into an omnibus bill.
Senate Liberal leader hammered Trudeau over the government’s omnibus budget bill, in which they tried to put the taxpayer on the hook for the new bank - which would be used to help big business privatize profits while the public absorbed any losses incurred.
>“This government has evidently abandoned its election promise to end the practice of omnibus bills,” he said, comparing the 308-page bill to a Russian nesting doll for the way it enacts multiple new statutes within it.
>“While that may be fun in a doll, it is no way to present legislation for proper study.”

>Independent Sen. André Pratte has put forward a motion to split off a section that sets up the Canada Infrastructure Bank, saying the creation of a large new financial agency should not be tucked away inside an omnibus bill and requires more study. The government is seeking to have that motion ruled out of order.

Harper started the omnibus trend, passing one after another to ram through his neocon shit.
This is just a way to build a precedent to get rid of omnibus bills.

Are you blaming harper?
Canadians seem to think that semantic arguments and arguing the details of their demise somehow mitigates them. You cannot mitigate that which has already happened, you can only rationalize it.
I can't believe the leafs passed a carbon tax:

Who cares athis point...
Neocon Scheer in charge of the opposition means Trudeau has won already until 2024. Sit back and enjoy the decline while Trump makes America great again. Maybe by then people will listen
