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.

Can't seem to insert this tweet cleanly as twitter is a bit of a mess, but it contains a video of PP earnestly defending Harper's appointment of David Johnston to chair the inquiry into the Mulroney-Schreiber affair at the time.

@PierrePoiIievre

 

After 6,915 days as an MP, I’ve changed my mind. Extremism will catapult me into being elected Prime Minister. I will say anything and attack anyone, about whatever, if I think it will make Canadians angry. Disinformed voters win me elections.

He Seemed like such a fine young man with an ultra-brite future!

Why is Johnston considered so controversial a choice? If there has been no contact for 40years...

Interesting take on old buddy old pal...

 

"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!"

 

What a mess. Horrible. Disgusting.

Perfect example of forgetting all the **** flinging by all opposition parties to make this an issue and piling it all on JTs lap.

The political climate of today is hyper-partisan, Thanks Trudeau.

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.

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.

Seriously? You are forgetting he sits on the board of directors of the Trudeau Foundation? The same Trudeau foundation that accepted money from the Chinese government. This had conflict of interest screaming from the rooftops. I can't even believe anyone would be so biased politically as to maintain that this shouldn't have at the very least raised eyebrows significantly. Holy crap....some of you guys hate for the CPC is totally blinding your sense of right and wrong when it comes to what this government is doing.  What I am hearing out of the Liberal camp is just gross.

Did Poilievre turn this into political theatre. Absolutely. If there ever was a time for justifying that this is the time. It is an assault to all political decency to try and pass off David Johnston as a proper choice for this matter.

Pausing my "ignore you" function just long enough to correct you - David Johnston has never been on the Board of Directors of the Trudeau Foundation. 

Not all of us believe PeePee's lies.

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.

Mudslinging is all he's done since assuming the role of "leader" of the Contrarian Pissbabies of Canada last September.

He has served no other purpose - much like the rest of that party the last few years.

It's never the time to emulate the republican political playbook. 

Never.

 

 

PeePee never heard about the boy who cried wolf.  The constant bitching and moaning tunes reasonable people out and will dilute any salient point (big if) he'll try to make in the future.

PP just needs to find enough idiots to vote for him. There seem to be many.

That's the idea. More people voting is bad for unpopular parties, but if you have a diehard base that always votes then you turn other folks off you can maybe win.

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.
