The Cons have taken a page out of our Patriot Acting neighbour's books and given proposed laws names that have little to do with the actual laws and a lot to do with stirring up sentiment. Most of us here seem to be of the opinion that bill C36, for example, will make the hobby less safe for hobbyists and likely less safe for sex workers too. But did y'all know it was called "The Protection of Communities and Exploited Persons Act"? There's plenty more doublethink to be found in these names, like the "Fair Elections Act" which neutered Elections Canada and actually makes it harder for the poor and disenfranchised to vote. Another lovely one is the "Zero Tolerance for Barbaric Cultural Practices Act" which should be renamed the "This shit is already illegal but getting the mouth breathers all riled up about immigrants is always good for a few votes Act".
