It's not a good look for the Canadian government.

I think they are referring to the idea that r/canada is pretty antagonistic about the government.

Why do you think Canadians are restricted from criticizing government?

I wouldn't put it past the Canadian government to do the same thing. Other Anglosphere governments already have, see Australia and UK.

This is happening in Canada. It's a huge boogie man from the opposition, even if it's revenue neutral.

Huh?You seem to be talking about a USA social phenomenon that happened in USA?You are gravely misunderstanding what is currently happening. Now that the depths of American treachery and bloodthirst have been laid bare, the mood in Canada is similar to January 2022 Ukraine.<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/07/world/canada/trump-trudeau-canada-51st-state.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare&sgrp=c&pvid=99A6345
