    I can’t wait to email this to my MP

    Canada Bill S209 needs to die. It’s bad legislation.

            Not sure what you mean by that.

            I’m just writing an email to oppose this, my email is not like the above poster. I am just laying out arguments why this is a bad solution and will not work.

            Which is what we’re seeing with kids drawing moustaches and borrowing IDs at will.

      Politicians don’t seem to function this way though. They don’t concern themselves with implementation details. People will vote for age verification even if it doesn’t work.
