WHAT’S IN A NAME

Article content

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau: Release. The. Names. It shouldn’t matter that Pierre Poilievre doesn’t want to get his security clearance updated so he can view the report. If this is such a national security issue, and it is, that you would publicly state that there are Conservatives names on the list, then release all the names, including the members of your party who are on it. This is a serious threat to our sovereignty, which has happened under your watch, yet you have done very little about it. In fact, you have taken many actions to avoid even getting this far, including hiring your family friend, former Governor General David Johnston, to produce a report stating that there was nothing to see here, move along. Also, since you state that you have already taken action against Liberal members on the list, share that information too. We already know that you either directly or indirectly allowed former Public Safety Minister Bill Blair to delay signing the CSIS warrant against former Ontario MPP Michael Chan for 54 days, and you only booted Don Valley North MP Han Dong out of the Liberal caucus when you had to, so please do tell us about the actions you have taken. By the way Prime Minister, I hold a Top Secret security clearance. Show me the list and I will give the Leader of the Opposition an unbiased opinion as to whether he needs to view the list or not.

(Trudeau’s testimony was such a missed opportunity. He could have avoided being so partisan but instead chose to deflect and blame. But he may have overplayed his hand – again- no one is buying what he is selling)

THIS IS NOT CANADA

Well, I hope Trudeau and Liberal supporters are happy. We have achieved Trudeau’s desired first “post-national state.” In this “state,” people can burn Canadian flags, scream “Death to Canada,” and block major intersections without repercussions, other than having coffee delivered by police. But if you protest in Ottawa with car horns and bouncy castles, you may have your bank account frozen. As a 74-year-old born and raised in this country, I am deeply worried about the path we are on.

(The only way to get us off this path is tossing out the Liberals in the next federal election)
