The Supreme Court of Canada has struck down a Ford government law that restricted political advertising by third parties, such as unions, in the year ahead of a scheduled election campaign.
The top court ruled in a 5-4 decision that the law allowed for political parties’ ads to “drown out” those of third-party groups, infringing on citizens’ right to meaningfully participate in the democratic process.
“The information available to voters in Ontario in the year before an election must include the interests, voices and views of different citizens and parties,” reads the majority decision written by Justice Andromache Karakatsanis.
Search “Canada access to information” to find the portal to make a request to access information and find that it is functional. Which is the opposite of “broken”.
Ah, I see. It’s not about understanding. You just want to debate.
No thanks.
This isn’t, and was never, a debate.
You are just wrong. Take the L and walk away.
Right. You avoid doing the research. Tell me I’m wrong. Then tell me I’m a loser.
Well, when I throw the L back at you, it means “lazy troll”.
Edit: LOL then they double down on the trolling…
I haven’t avoided doing any research. I am not going to waste my time demonstrating to you why you are wrong.
If the system was broken journalists wouldn’t be able to access the information you say is impossible to obtain because the “system is broken” you absolute genius.
You are wrong, I never called you a loser, but I won’t disagree with your choice of words to describe yourself.
Projection at its best.
Go upstairs and cry to your mom about it.
