Going over some of the more ridiculous details of the Liberal government’s ‘Strong Border Bill’. This is not what people voted for.

So we have a Canadian Patriot act and the kind of “border control” that got America ICE in one package and the prevailing sentiment in what is supposed to be a very left-leaning space is “it’s fine if it’s only for organized crime”. For the few Canadians who know proto-fascism when they see it, fight this like your life depends on it, because it does. You already have in America an example of what not to do and what happens if you do it.
Where is this left-wing space that is saying “it’s fine if only for organized crime”? I’ve been a bit more moderate in my criticisms and hesitant to call it proto-fascism despite my objections to the bill, but as far as I’ve seen on Lemmy and this thread I’m in the minority.
The first thread about this had a few positive to middling reactions, but after checking again it seems I blew them out of proportion.
Edit: Apparently there are a few clowns defending it in other threads. Still bad, but certainly not as bad as I thought.
