The amendment of  Bill C.51 was a campaign promise by Mr Trudeau.  Those of us who thought he was merely trying to steal the thunder of the NDP, which made the promise first and with more passion, several of  its candidates staking their entire election bid on its cancellation, seem to have been proven out by the long delayed action. It is worth remembering that  almost  the entire legal community, rarely a united entity, spoke out against the thought-crimes created by this legislation.  One of the specific problem appears to be that a warrant can be requested of  a Federal Judge based on the sworn assertion  by a Peace Officer that (s)he is of the opinion a suspect is thinking about committing an act of terror at some point in the future.  This, it seemed, was a bit too Orwellian for the Federal Bench.
