“When someone wants to become prime minister and says things like this, they’re basically telling François Legault and the Quebec government that they don’t care about the rules that are established,” (Marchand) said.
To be fair, François Legault doesn’t care about established law either. Bills 21, 14, and 96 come to mind.
This is what I mean when I say governing by fiat is anti-democratic.

To be fair, Justin Trudeau doesn’t care about established law either.

What does that have to do with the discussion at hand? Or is this just whataboutism?
Trudeau isn’t squeaky clean by any means but what does this have to do with government by edict?

Bill 96 wasn’t passed by fiat. It was passed in the house of commons and the vote was 78 yay and 29 nay. Sounds democratic enough to me.

Patrick Déry has a good article on his Quebecsplaining blog.

PP thought Bitcoin was a good idea and at one point wanted to make Canada the blockchain capital of NA. Anything this guy says is full of it.

Thanks MarkG, that’s a good analysis.

@uatu Bitcoin is up 156% in 2023. Still only for foolish speculators, but facts are facts and Bitcoin is not presently collapsing in value. However, I still advise people not to buy it as it has no underlying asset value.
