Rod Black Posted June 11, 2023 Report Share Posted June 11, 2023 Johnson resigned. The first ever “special rapporteur” failed. Less than a week ago he said he would continue, before he was questioned by MP’s. After the questioning, he’s done, his choice. He decided to make a new plan Stan, Hop on the bus Gus.

"Johnston has said that while he was friends with Pierre Trudeau and skied with the Trudeau family back when Justin Trudeau and his brothers were children, he hasn't had any meetings, dinners or personal contacts with Trudeau in the past 40 years." I love how all opposition parties blame JT for destroying Johnston's rep... when it was all the opponents shitting themselves and flinging as much **** all over the place that led to this... its funny really. And a bit sad. don't really understand why they didn't just let him do his job Its called "political theater" to impress voters, and destroying the credibility and reputation of a good man is par for the course.

But listening to pp... you'd think it was all Justin's fault. It has absolutely NOTHING to do with the other parties shitting themselves senseless and hurling accusations of conflicts of interests like monkeys fling **** all over the place. Seriously, **** these guys. Not a JT fan at all... but C'mon- at this point its going to be "thanks Obama" meme all over again. "My wife cheated on me, thanks alot Justin!"

blue_gold_84 Posted June 12, 2023 Report Share Posted June 12, 2023 Now the PM will have to appoint another special rapporteur and until then, no progress will be made on any of this foreign interference nonsense. Seems to be there are too many demagogues in Ottawa right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue_gold_84 Posted June 13, 2023 Report Share Posted June 13, 2023 https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/rcmp-chong-1.6874498 Quote The head of the RCMP says his organization has opened an investigation into allegations that China attempted to target and intimidate Conservative MP Michael Chong and his family. Commissioner Mike Duheme told the procedure and House affairs committee Tuesday morning that the investigation is one of more than 100 current RCMP probes looking into foreign interference. His comments come as the committee studies an alleged 2021 Beijing plot to amass information on Chong's family in retaliation for his efforts to recognize the persecution of Uyghurs as genocide. Duheme and Deputy Commissioner Mark Flynn said the RCMP also offered to assist the commissioner of Canada Elections with other allegations coming from Conservative MP Erin O'Toole and NDP MP Jenny Kwan. Duheme and Flynn said the force only learned about the Chong matter recently, when The Globe and Mail broke the story. "I'm aware of that type of threat being present but I was not aware of the specifics," said Flynn. "The news that individuals, parliamentarians, and the general public in Canada are subjected to threats and intimidation is not news." "The reality is we do have distinct organizations with distinct mandates involved in the national security space to combat this threat," Flynn responded. "There is at times an appropriate withholding of specific information." CSIS Director David Vigneault is scheduled to testify later Tuesday night.

And yet PP and his crew have yet to come up with even one part of the report that could have been slanted to favour the Liberal government or Trudeau. Josef Goebbels said that if you repeat an accusation or lie loud enough and often enough, it becomes believable.

Tracker Posted June 17, 2023 Report Share Posted June 17, 2023 Cynicism favours the extremist parts of the political spectrum. Conscientious voters who follow the events will simply not vote if they believe their votes will not improve things, whereas the lunatic fringe will, if anything, double down on their support. I suspect that the Cons know this and try to foster apathy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
