Trudeau started using this vague section to bypass legislating but Carney is doubling down on it. And Carney only won because of Trump's direct attacks on Canada's sovereignty. And even on that front he is failing. He's acting like US bitch and at the same time trying to pass massive surveillance laws akin to US FISA to share the data with the US.

On Carney, he seems to be very similar to Stephen Harper. Imo this is less a missed opportunity by the liberals and more him being an ideologically-driven fascist doing exactly the things he wants to do.
