Say what you will about the citizenship story, I just love how the petition clearly got to him.
- The petition matters less than enforcing actual laws. Symbolic gestures might feel good, but what protects our democracy are functional guardrails like the Canada Elections Act. I'd rather see Elections Canada fully funded and empowered than celebrate someone getting "triggered" by a petition that achieves nothing substantive.
