  1. Our glorious liberal leader Justin Trudeau has lied, cried and tried to hide so many times he has finally just decided to pull a totalitarian fascist dictator move and shut down 3 investigations into his corrupt and incompetent governance.

    1. @Stolasish Just curious, do you think Trudeaus way of doing things is the right way? Should all politicians act like him? I think he is a criminal, and should be put in jail forever personally.

    2. @Stolasish Apparently you’re not smart can’t tell the difference between being and acting like. Might explain why you’re a Liberal..

    1. How is this Angus guy even part of NDP he seems too smart to be around the Jagmeet liberal loving party flunkies

    2. Although I do not agree with Angus’s politics I at least respect the guy and that its far more than I can say for most of the NDP MP’s

    1. Every color did , this was in play for sometime, Harper had his part with his secret China deal..
      Dont fall for the soap opera

    2. @techthai tehabnormal Oh brother there was no secret China deal it was fully disclosed. Both during and after negotiations.

    3. techthai tehabnormal LOL”” soap opera”? That’s what you call fraud, ethics violations, obstruction of justice, conflict of interest and on and on? Try and keep up.

    1. i think the NDP have stronger moral character than the liberals, and will vote a non confidence on principle

    2. You can bet that Charlie Angus will have his voice heard within the NDP meetings. If I was in the NDP, I’d listen to this guy before Singh. On that same note, I’d also listen to Poilievre over Scheer.

    3. @Rory McDonald What do you mean if ? They have all along through the other scandals why would this be any different…

    4. @Rob Davidson Ya just like the how they voted against the Gov;t in the other 2 scandals .. Oh wait…. they did’nt. And don’t kid yourself the NDP are not much better than the Liberals.

    1. @Denis O’Brien
      Do you vote NDP? If not, why does it matter?

      @Jim Gillis You say that like you have a choice. They’ll never let you have an NDP government, but why wouldn’t you? Do you listen to the propaganda?
      What if you found out that what you believe is the opposite of the reality?

      “Of the 52 years the NDP has formed governments in Canada since 1980, they’ve run balanced budgets for exactly half of those years and deficits the other half. This is a better record than both the Conservatives (balanced budgets 37% of years in government) and the Liberals (only 27%), as well as both Social Credit and PQ governments.

      It’s not just the number of years of balance that is relevant: it’s also the size of the deficits or surpluses that are important. For this, the most important figure is the size of deficits as a share of GDP.

      For this measure as well, NDP governments have the best record. The average balance (deficit) as a share of provincial GDP for the 52 years of NDP governments in Canada is -0.77%, compared to -1.82% for all Liberal governments and -0.82% for all Conservative governments over the past thirty years.”

    2. @roomwithapointofview If Jack Layton had been healthy I think we’d have an NDP government now. But Jagmeet and team went way too left andthe only plan they had was to tax the 1%. Basically no plan at all.

  2. WE WANT A VOTE OF NO CONFIDENCE RIGHT NOW THERES NO SENSE LETTING THIS CORRUPT PARTY CONTINUE ANOTHER DAY

  3. Canada the new lawless country where its alright to be corrupt in politics and get away with stealing taxpayer money

    1. Ayn Ml the low intellect leftists and “ new Canadians” in the GTA region voted in that corrupt POS and the lieberals.

    2. @Ted Poplaw They also allowed expats to vote. Outsiders with Canadian passports with little time in Canada their whole lives and who don’t pay taxes here. 300,000 in Hong Kong alone. Their votes were gerrymandered to where they were needed. Saul Alinsky would be proud.

  4. Liberals will spend the next few months buying off NDP and Bloc politicians.They will come back talking about jobs and students.

  5. When we need trudeau the most he goes on holidays and shuts down parliament. What a joke this guy is

  6. Liberals packed there bags and left town, in the middle of a pandemic, just to save there own quilty hides!!!

    1. @markfive I support your sentiment. The Real Truth is that the NDP are Far Worse than the Liberals. Why? They are Deliberately Supporting Liberal Corruption in a Failing Attempt to remain a Viable Political Party ——> They are doing this to SAVE Their Own asses. The NDP lost 20 seats under Jughead in the last Election. They are Finished as a Political Party come the Next Election. Canadians will not forget their Part in making Trudeau the Dictator of Canada.

    2. All politicians are the same: giving contracts to family and friends when they’re in power, giving themselves pay raises, using tax payer money for ‘expenses’, and then pretending to be outraged when someone else does it.

    1. @john0270 Have you not noticed how much better the climate is now that we have the Carbon Tax? 😉 What a joke… complete cash-grab.

    2. @Oscar Jetson sadly there are 1000 environmental issues that should take priority. We are carbon based life form’s,c02 is critical for life on earth, its not poison like so many belive. In my day to day life I’m more concerned about material and chemicals going into our landfill, the land, our food, our waters. Everyone should haul there garbage to the the local landfill, this would open their eyes. There should be packaging laws that make waste minimal, and recycling possible. Bulk food goods, and and outright eliminate disposable cups. That type of stuff. Vehicles thankfully are really clean burning now. Some of the mass transit is absolutely horrible though.

  7. All prorogue is to buy time to clear all the offices with contact to WE time to get rid of the evidence!

  8. as they peroghee the parliment can we peroghee our taxes? what are we paying for. there are less services, the goverment isn’t working what the hell are we paying for?

  9. I’m a conservative, but I sure enjoy listening to Charley. He’s a smart guy who has a sober view of what’s going on. I agree with a lot of what he says.

    1. @Wayne Polk And once again the stupid of the world make comments they can not substantiate. And by that conclusion, you MUST be an NDP’er as only that lot could be that obtuse and stupid all at once.

    2. @Wayne Polk Apparently you have comprehension issues as well, that might explain it. Apparently, YOU can not read. Or is it just to complicated…

    3. @Matthew Matthewq #1 rule for trolls, If you can’t handle the truth and the facts, distract and shoot the messenger!

    4. @Wayne Polk LOL looks like you should live by those words considering you have not said anything that is either truthful or factual and has just been useless rabble.
      Once again putting on full display your inability to comprehend the basics. But it does explain your obtuseness and stupidity.
