It's a sad day indeed when the two leading contenders for leadership of the Federal Conservative Party try to outbid each other to find ways to override protections under Canada's constitution in a blatant attempt to out Trump Trump in the eyes of Party activists.

It's bad enough that so many Conservative activists are currently in a frenzy that decency and respect for fellow humans and legal norms appear as barriers.  They fail even as cynics, given their blindness to the course of the slow motion train wreck that is the current GOP (Why would they want to follow the GOP into such a crash?).
