I think this was a shortcut to "they were trying similar provisions" + "populace doesn't like" + "other interest want" + yada, yada.

As a generalized statement it may invoke something that speaker didn't mean. Yet, general statements are very useful in communicating. These will stay with us, the human species. Therefore, we should be aware that generalized statements can be taken as entry points into slides away from some concrete point.

Let's not slide away. Honestly, every party, in every country is using rhetorical slides to light emotions of populace. Every single one. ... unfortunately.

I find this meme very useful. I come to it often https://www.gapingvoid.com/psychological-sharpnel/ : I don't need all this psychological shrapnel flying around.

All parties, all orgs, conditions their supporters to view criticism of mis-haps in concrete (e.g. metadata collection law) actions as a generalized attack on the whole. It is a perceptional fog. Almost like fog of war, with same idea, to hide. Let's not get hooked by this. Please.

... the rest is for conversations over beer. Please, and thank you.

>> I'm reconsidering my options for which commercial service I use to operate email services for my personal domain. Now that the Liberals have a majority, Canada looks like an unsafe country for hosting email (given that I am uninterested in operating my own SMTP server). Which is too bad, because I'd rather give my money to a Canadian business.
