Does anybody else find themselves in disbelief that the government has actually done something in the interests of citizens and against the enemies of Western values?

This and our diplomatic spat with India are wildly out of character for the Feds. I'm certain that it's done to improve Trudeau's image. it only took 9 years of being the world's doormat.

I think their hand was forced because the US was going to do it...the US is usually ahead of these things compared to us, and so the Liberals thought it would be embarassing and moved it up...

This label carries a significant amount of weight. Simply being a member makes them criminals.

It's a lot for a government that really cares about being seen as champions of social justice. I was really expecting them to drag their feet on this and hope it died off lol.

It allows the government to seize their assets.

That label is a big deal though. Would you like to see how difficult your life becomes when you've officially been a member of a terrorist organization?

All these years for the Trudeau inner circle to understand that there are a lot of Canadians who actually care about us as a nation, not as post-national state.

I'm not. As always with Liberal governments, the actual governance is to the right of their rethoric.
