Was it Something They Said and Did?

Maybe:

Even with the Trudeau government already poised for a crushing defeat at the next federal election, each passing day is continuing to yield thousands of Canadians abandoning their plans to vote Liberal.

At least, that’s the takeaway from a new Abacus Data poll showing the Liberals with their lowest-ever share of the popular vote since forming government in 2015.

According to the new survey, if an election were held tomorrow the Liberals would capture a mere 22 per cent of ballots cast.

When these kinds of numbers are projected across the 343 ridings that will be contested in the next election, the result is a House of Commons in which the Liberal caucus could very well plummet to fourth place.

A widely circulated projection of the Abacus poll by the election modeller Raymond Liu shows the Liberals capturing just 37 seats. It would be a defeat on par with the 34 seats that Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff captured in the 2011 election; the all-time worst showing for the federal Liberals in Canadian showing.

Canadians from across the country blasted the Liberal government and federal leaders for honouring in the House of Commons a Ukrainian veteran who fought for a Nazi SS division.

The more than 1,000 pages of documents released under the Access to Information law provide a glimpse at the intense anger sparked last year by the decision by all members in the Commons to give two standing ovations for Waffen SS soldier Yaroslav Hunka.

Holocaust survivors wrote to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau about friends killed by Hunka’s division, the 14th SS Galician, while families of Canadian soldiers killed fighting the Nazis during the Second World War peppered MPs with questions about why they honoured a soldier who had sworn allegiance to Adolf Hitler.

Hunka, a resident of North Bay, Ont., has not commented on the Sept. 22, 2023, event in which he was introduced to the Commons as a Ukrainian-Canadian war veteran and a hero. House of Commons Speaker Anthony Rota thanked Hunka for “his service.”

But news quickly emerged that Hunka had served in a Ukrainian SS unit.

The incident became an international embarrassment for Canada as Holocaust historians, Jewish groups and the Polish government pointed out that Hunka’s unit had been involved in war crimes, including massacres of women and children. The division was also used by the Nazis to crush a national uprising in Slovakia, again prompting allegations of war crimes.

You can't have it both ways, Justin.

The NISCOP report can't be inaccurate in some way but still on the cusp of exposing traitors in other parties.

Pick a lane:

The NSICOP, comprised of MPs and senators who review the activities of Canada’s national security and intelligence agencies, concluded in its June 3 report that some parliamentarians had been “semi-witting or witting” participants in efforts by hostile foreign states to interfere in Canadian politics.

Mr. Singh, after reading the unredacted version of the report on June 13, expressed alarm and labelled the implicated MPs as “traitors.” He previously vowed to remove any MP who “knowingly worked” for foreign governments, but has since said he would not need to remove any members from his caucus.

Ms. May expressed feeling “relieved” after reading the unredacted report on June 11, saying she has “no worries about anyone in the House of Commons.” However, she also said that some named individuals ”may be compromised,“ describing them as ”beneficiaries of foreign governments interfering in nomination contests.”

In an apparent jab at NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says Canadians should be wary of political leaders who say their parties haven't been compromised by foreign interference.

 

(Sidebar: don't worry. Jag's love for Justin will never die ... until February 2025.)

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he has concerns with how conclusions were gathered in a spy watchdog report.

Speaking after the conclusion of the G7 summit in Italy, Trudeau told reporters that he has concerns with the way the National Security and Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarians came to its conclusions that some parliamentarians were “semi-witting or witting” participants in efforts of foreign states to meddle in Canadian politics.

“We made clear some concerns we had with the way that NSICOP did, drew conclusions,” he said. “I think that is an important part of the process.”

 

There is a reason why Pierre won't read the report.

He would be bound to never share its contents.

It's time to expose some traitors.
