It isn't going to get rammed through because Canada's governments are neo-liberal governments. Their focus is on the well-being of corporations and don't govern for the people lest they upset some anonymous corporate shareholder. The point I was making is, we live in a social contract. Be good to others and they will be good to you. > I for one don't want to live anywhere the state can dictate arbitrary terms to businesses How do you define "arbitrary" in this context? Is it ok if a business asks the government to lift regulations and restrictions on activities like drilling for oil in the middle of a protected wildlife preserve, or is that different?
