Watching Canada descend into an actual dictatorship in real time is fascinating.

You must be smoking some good shit.

Nawh, bros gotta be huffing spray paint because what he said was utterly braindead.

wouldn’t call it dictatorship. More like self-propelled cleptocracy. Having more power vested in PM suits “winner” parties just fine as it gives them leverage even in minority government. Peak of dictatorial behaviour was under Harper, but Trudeau is a skillful pupil…
