The article from MSN discusses how the Canadian government, under Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, has been increasingly treating legal obligations as mere suggestions rather than binding rules. This trend is highlighted by several examples: the government's handling of the Emergencies Act, where it invoked emergency powers without meeting the legal threshold; the ongoing issues with the ArriveCan app, which has been criticized for its cost and effectiveness; and the government's approach to the carbon tax, where exemptions and delays have been applied inconsistently. Critics argue that this selective enforcement and interpretation of laws undermines the rule of law, suggesting that the government acts with impunity, potentially setting a dangerous precedent for future governance. This behavior is seen as part of a broader pattern where political expediency often trumps legal accountability.
