  1. For sure this guest watched ‘Street Legal’ and ‘Side Effects’ instead of ‘Law and Order’ and ‘ER’ purely for the Canadian content.

  2. Guilbeault doesn’t have a clue and for that matter, has no business being in any position of power. He is nothing but an activist and does not represent Canadian opinion.

  3. Hmm seems to me his handlers came down on him hard for letting the secret out about trying to stop free press.

  4. They’ll stick these new laws and regulations into an omnibus bill and ram it through as fast possible and with as little oversight as they can get away with!

  5. I think he should be registered on some kind of government database. Won’t say which one but I’m pretty sure we’re all thinking the same thing.
