The pushback required for this ill conceived piece of legislation is hard to estimate. Close to 80 negative responses from individual local governments detailing why this change would be bad for British Columbians. Multiple professional organizations and sectors also involved

Here's Doly Begum, the former Deputy Leader of Ontario NDP, who described Liberals as "the surest path to greater evil" Here's Marilyn Gladu, the pro freedom convoy candidate for Conservative leadership They will become colleagues by next week in the Liberal Party caucus

At this important moment for our country’s future, Canadians with a broad range of experience and perspectives are uniting to build Canada strong. I am honoured to welcome Marilyn Gladu today as the newest member of this government and our Liberal caucus. In a time of global economic uncertainty, Canada’s success will depend on how we build ambition into progress and strengths into sustained advantage. Marilyn brings the practical, results-driven leadership this effort demands. Having spent decades of her career in engineering and international business, she understands what it takes to create good jobs, strengthen supply chains, and ensure Canadian industry can compete in a rapidly changing global economy. She has been elected by the people of Sarnia—Lambton–Bkejwanong in four straight elections since 2015, and repeatedly earned recognition from colleagues across Parliament for her proven willingness to work constructively across party lines. I’m looking forward to working closely with Marilyn to build a stronger and more independent Canadian economy, meeting the challenges of a changing world with lasting opportunities for all.
