More On the Pantomime

The official answer can never be that Justin wet himself.

Ever:

The Freedom Convoy was no threat to national security, says the Canadian Security Intelligence Service. The director of the federal spy agency opposed use of the Emergencies Act, the Public Order Emergency Commission was told yesterday: “They knew about all of this, correct?”

More:

The definition includes espionage or sabotage of Canada's interests, foreign-influenced activities, or the violent overthrow of the government.

I'll just leave this right here:

A former Hydro-Québec employee is facing multiple charges for allegedly obtaining trade secrets for the Chinese government, the RCMP says.

In a news release, the RCMP alleges that 35-year-old Yuesheng Wang of Candiac, Que., obtained the information to benefit China at “the detriment of Canada’s economic interests” while working at the provincial hydro company.

The RCMP states it began looking into the employee’s activities in August 2022, following a complaint from the public utility provider’s corporate security branch, and alleged that Wang conducted research for Chinese universities and filed patents based on the results that undermined Hydro-Quebec intellectual property.

Oh, is that so?:

The Freedom Convoy threatened “mental health” but was not literally violent, Ontario’s deputy solicitor general told the Public Order Emergency Commission. The testimony followed evidence from the Ottawa Police Service that the protest “felt” violent: “No murders, shootings, robberies, stabbings, aggravated assaults, nothing of that sort.”

How embarrassing:

Multiple tweets showing that Public Order Emergency Commission lawyer Gabriel Poliquin was vaccinated against COVID-19 appear to have been deleted since he suddenly collapsed on video during the Emergencies Act inquiry on Wednesday. 

In the footage of Poliquin’s collapse, which was broadcasted live, the lawyer can be seen standing at a podium questioning Ontario deputy solicitor general Mario Di Tommaso about the anti-COVID mandate “Freedom Convoy” protest.

Taking a brief pause, Poliquin starts to open a plastic water bottle when he suddenly appears to lose consciousness as his entire body goes limp and his head slumps forward. A seemingly unconscious Poliquin then proceeds to fall off the podium, an event that is followed shortly by a loud thud and a sharp gasp by Di Tommaso.

Footage of the disturbing event immediately went viral, leading to widespread speculation about what caused Poliquin’s untimely collapse.

Social media users quickly pointed to a now-deleted tweet from April 28, 2021 in which Poliquin wrote “#AstraZeneca” while including a picture of himself being vaccinated.

In another now-deleted tweet from June 30, 2021, Poliquin wrote, #vaxxedtothemax” while including another photo of himself in front of a large sign that read “I got vaccinated!”
