@Crispius @stephanie I wonder if that's why Chrystia Freeland said "fuck this". Because as a key negotiator in the previous trade deal (that fucked us on copyright) she knows...

Courage isn't an attribute of our class of politicians

(and just to put it into context, PP would bend even further)

@Crispius @hub Thanks for the info! That makes sense.

But you can see how power changes people. I read the comments of a journalist who wrote about Trudeau before he was PM, and he couldn't believe the change in ego, and lack of self-reflection

@stephanie @Crispius power is drug.

I can give many examples.
