This will be news when they’ve actually done it, and haven’t replaced it with the same thing under a different name.

The word "unabated" seems to be doing a lot of heavy lifting in the announcement.

I don't want to imagine the Harper-like hellscape for non-rich, non-male, non-albertan, non-corporation non-supporters.

Me neither. Trust me.
