This is good for unions and other above-board groups, but I can't help but wonder how this affects the various "dark money" lobby groups that have unclear ownership, but have been buying political ads across the country.

Ontario’s provincial police force could be using Israeli spyware, report finds

or is it just like regulation about what can be transported across provincial lines?
That's a big part of it - this is a decent explainer.

Unfortunately, the deadline has now passed to register as a Liberal and be eligible to vote in the 2025 Leadership race.
With respect, you really need to improve your understanding of our political process.
It really isn't. It's a rubber stamp.
Are there honestly people who believe that the King should be weighing in on political matters?
"We don't have time to put people on trial" is not a take I'm prepared to get behind.
And even if it were...how would revoking his citizenship change any of what you just described?
I'm pretty sure the portion of the Act that site refers to was repealed in 2017.
Canadian citizens who (are alleged to) have committed treason should be tried under to Canadian law, and there's no reason to invent loopholes to avoid having to put someone on trial.
Maybe illegally revoking the citizenship of people we don't like is a bad thing?
The sort of thing they want to do?
Okay then, the next election will happen when the next election is called.
Let me know if I used any words that are too big for you.
The likely scenario is that, immediately upon Parliament resuming next month, the Liberals will immediately lose a confidence vote, triggering a snap election. The opposition parties have all stated that they will initiate a confidence vote at the earliest opportunity.
In the unlikely event that doesn't happen, I imagine JT would remain on as PM until the mandatory election this fall. Were he to step down, he would probably appoint a sitting MP as interim PM.
As a fun(?) aside, Canada has had two PMs who served while members of the (unelected) Senate, and MacKenzie King and John Turner both briefly governed without a ministerial seat.
I would argue that we at least have the right to know who they are. In the case of unions, that's certainly the case.
