because they feel its political suicide if its applied but it's not like it's been applied by provinces which applies to this case you're arguing about... (which has proven to be political suicide in cases when only the threat of its use was given)
what would it matter if it hasn't been applied federally? they have the power to do so if they so wish THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT
so what you're saying is you're going to keep bitching until the federal govt. shuts you up? how bout you take this law up to the supreme court yourself if you're so passionate about it?
as for you're fairy tales your acting like you've forgotten you're history in rs
staying relatively silent for ages doesn't change that
