campaign trail: On the campaign trail, Justin Trudeau promised to overturn Bill C-24 -- or, rather, "elements" of it, according to Rabble. A Liberal Party petition that is still being circulated elaborates on this vow ever so slightly: Trudeau will repeal "the unfair sections of Bill C-24". It remains to be seen what Prime Minister Trudeau will do about C-24, which was brought to Parliament by newly ousted MP and Minister of Citizenship and Immigration Chris Alexander. Chip in to keep stories like these coming. What exactly can we expect from someone who speaks forcefully against it on the campaign trail, yet who was in fact absent for the final vote on this bill What we do know, at least, is that the jubilation over Harper dethroning -- and for many, the cautious optimism at Trudeau ascent -- does not signal that the organized opposition to C-24 is finished. With their Oct. 14 opinion piece, "New law makes Canadian Jews second-class citizens," David Berger, Philip Berger, Tzeporah Berman, and Mitchell Goldberg are hoping to galvanize people like me. In the days leading up to the election, the Toronto Star published an op-ed against the so-called "Strengthening Canadian Citizenship Act" that demonstrates just how far off-course the conversation around Bill C-24 can get.
