“While we are reluctant to be at this stage, this is crucial legislation,” he said. “Canadians asked us to pass it. They want us to move on this.”

I must have missed that referendum or whatever the equivalent is in Canuckistan?

It's lawyer-speak. Canadians asked them to pass it. They never said ALL Canadians, or even MANY Canadians. Just plural Canadians. More than one. Two Canadians asked them to pass it, the ones pushing the bill.

Canadians don't hold referendums for everything. Like the US, we elect representatives. And then they "represent" us on legislative and executive matters.

Yeah I just meant the people never actually asked for this specifically. It wasn't talked about during the campaign season or anything yet they're acting like the people are asking for this bullshit.
