The Story So Far

Do you remember this guy?:

The Commons by a 176-152 vote yesterday ordered the health department to surrender by December 7 a trove of records on pandemic mismanagement. Liberal MPs balked at further disclosures regarding contracts awarded to a former caucus member’s company: “Frank Baylis is a significant issue.”

The Kim Trudeau dynasty, however, hopes that it is safe for now:

The Commons Ethics Committee has voted 6-4 not to disclose all fees paid to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his wife, Sophie Grégoire, through the family's talent agency, Speakers' Spotlight of Toronto, Blacklocks Reporter has reported.

The motion was forwarded on July 22 and has since faced a lengthy filibuster by the Liberals to prevent their release.

So Monday, after a bit more filibustering and a few more amendments, the Conservative motion at the ethics committee was set to pass with the support from all opposition members, who outnumbered the Liberals.

All was going as expected until the committee clerk called on Bloc Québécois MP Julie Vignola, who had replaced her colleague Marie-Hélène Gaudreau just a few minutes earlier.

After a few seconds of silence, Vignola unexpectedly said: “I am against the motion.”

A visibly stunned NDP ethics critic Charlie Angus laughed incredulously as he cast the final vote for the motion. But it didn’t matter anymore, the nays (five) defeated the yays (four).

In a scrum minutes after the vote, Bloc Québécois House Leader Alain Therrien admitted it had all been a mistake. Their vote had literally been lost in translation, and the party was scrambling to see if there was a way to change it.

 

What a sh-- show. 

But this isn't the only thing Justin will avoid:

More than 130 Canadian tech leaders are calling on the prime minister to create a prosperity plan because they say the country won’t excel without support for innovators and the government has been slow to offer help.

 

 

The Liberals are never going to create a prosperity plan because they are politicians, not engineers, and no one is going to sink money into the failed banana republic that is Canada.

Those days are gone. 

Now, hide under your bed for Christmas:

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says the global COVID-19 pandemic “really sucks,” and could jeopardize large gatherings with friends and family over Christmas on the heels of a toned-down Thanksgiving season.

F--- off, Justin.

The KGB infiltrated international governments at all levels. KGB agents convinced people to betray their countries. Defectors, at great risk to themselves and their families, revealed the extent of the KGB's secretive operations.

None of that needed to happen in Canada:

Canada’s foreign spy agency unwittingly auctioned federal secrets at a computer equipment sale. Access To Information records withheld four years disclosed the Communications Security Establishment only learned of the security breach when the buyer of discounted hard drives reported the fact: “Do you guys actually open up the computers and check?”

If this had been a comedy movie, it might be funny. 

Being a Liberal means never being accountable to anyone unless they have money:

A Newfoundland and Labrador legislature member is rejecting calls from the Innu Nation to resign following comments he made about homeless people.

Liberal Perry Trimper said in an interview Tuesday he will continue to represent Labrador’s Lake Melville district, which includes the town of Happy Valley-Goose Bay, until the next election.
