From the Most Corrupt Government That Ever Tried to Hide Its Actions and Silence Those Who Point Them Out

There are Canadians who don't know that in 2013 Justin Trudeau declared that he "admired China's basic dictatorship".

Even worse, there are people who don't care (and certainly didn't care when it came to light that Justin groped a woman, humiliated black people on several occasions and proved what an incompetent boob he is. Speaking of which ...). 

I am sure that the willingly ignorant will not notice or care about these:

The Liberal chair abruptly ended a Zoom meeting with the Finance Committee on Thursday. Wayne Easter announced he was ending the meeting just as Pierre Poilievre moved to have a motion on the WE scandal. 

 

This WE scandal

Liberal MPs on the House of Commons ethics committee mounted a filibuster Friday afternoon of the opposition’s attempt to get details of the Trudeau family’s speaking fees — particularly as they relate to WE Charity events.

The Liberals dragged out the committee’s proceedings through lengthy speeches and repeated requests to adjourn. Finally, after four and a half hours, the meeting adjourned without a vote on the motion after a Bloc Québécois MP joined with the Liberals in voting to adjourn. The committee will likely pick up the matter again at its next meeting.

It is the committee’s second attempt to obtain the speaking fee records after the first was blocked when the Liberals prorogued Parliament on Aug. 18. Opposition MPs say they want to review the records to verify how much the Trudeaus were paid by WE Charity and its related organizations.

The motion, introduced by the Conservatives but with the backing of the NDP and Bloc, orders the Speakers’ Spotlight to provide details of speaking fees paid since 2008 for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, his wife Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, his mother Margaret Trudeau and his brother Alexandre Trudeau. The documents would be reviewed by the committee “in camera,” meaning they wouldn’t be made public.

Because it’s a minority Parliament situation, the Liberals are outvoted on the committee if the Conservatives, NDP and Bloc Québécois all vote together.

Opposition MPs had originally hoped to vote on the motion at the committee’s Thursday meeting, but that was blocked by the Liberals. A new meeting was called Friday by committee chair David Sweet, a Conservative MP.

“I’m ready to do this until it’s resolved, because we’re into a second meeting dealing with the same motion,” Conservative MP Michael Barrett said at the outset of Friday’s meeting.

 

The Liberals could end all of this in one hours if they wanted to.

They could disclose documents that weren't blacked out in near-entirety

They could give a complete summary of the Trudeau family's speaking fees and their relationship to the faux WE charity.

But they won't.


Guilty people don't run, don't destroy documents, don't censor material and don't quash an investigation into something they insist is nothing.


And - putting a graphics designer in the hot seat:

Rempel Garner, the Conservative health critic, led off question period by asking about the lack of rapid testing at a time when the second wave of COVID-19 threatens to shut down restaurants and other businesses. “We don’t have job-saving rapid tests. Why?” asked Rempel Garner.

The health minister’s first response was to question the credibility of her accuser. Rempel Garner was “presenting false information to the House of Commons” since rapid testing is available in Canada in “rural and remote communities,” said Hajdu.

Rempel Garner wasn’t buying such palpable nonsense. “I would challenge anyone presently watching this in Toronto, and worried about their business closing, to go out right now and try to get a test with results in 15 minutes. That answer was arrogant, deceptive and incompetent,” she said.

Hajdu tacitly conceded as much by abandoning the argument that rapid testing is available. Instead, she advanced the theory that “many jurisdictions that have used rapid tests … have seen a worsening of their outbreaks.”

 

The average wait time to get an initial Covid 19 test is two hours

One might get the results in four days.

Things have become so desperate that the Department of Health is considering the "un-Canadian" solution of asking private clinics to test people.

But the graphics designer won't allow rapid tests because she said so.
