INDEPENDENT???????? YOU MUST BE JOKING. He is Trudeau’s family friend.
I agree, How can
David Johnston, Trudeau’s friend assure Canadians of a fair process?
He’s also part of the Trudeau foundation.
We want an independent public inquiry where all parties wll agree on the person to do the investigation. This just shows Trudeau is hiding something.
This country is heading in the wrong direction.
@ryan radcliffe yes they are, he is the one that benefited from the interference and did nothing to stop it
Get over it. Lose the Trudeau hate and see the world for what it is. It’s not the dark, dismal, broken country that Poilievre has you believing.
@ARK CON last I checked it was 11 mps both conservative and liberal so once again you are incorrect
NDP is the reason we have all these problems make them pay😂
Correct
1000 thumbs up to that!
Why dont they just have Trudeau do it himself 🙄
it would be better than any other person doing it, he is the most competent canadian..that is why he is prime minister…every else can reach their backsides and lick it about it…
@Koo Koo uhhhhh, ummmm, ahhhh those you know drink box, straw, no not a straw, juice box thingies
@Koo Koo See Tee V can’t even get decent bots… what was that gobbledygook??
“WE have investigated OURSELVES and WE have found that WE did nothing wrong”
Sad that this guy failed his “conflict of interest training”at lawyer school.
This family friend will make this so much worse,does Trudeau think Canadians are stupid
His voter base certainly fits the bill.
Canadians want a public inquiry. It’s that simple. No more obfuscation.
and no more hard words that twist tongues when trying to pronounce…
They’ll do it eventually as now they’ve had plenty of time to clean up the mess on their end via filibusters
So David has gone skiing with Justin in 2017 and other close family ties, Justin in 2018 donated millions to David Rideau Home foundation, David is a board member of the Trudeau foundation a company that’s in this investigation for accepting/returning 200k to Beijing, and David was appointed by justin in 2018 as the debate commissioner
All of these are big conflicts of interest, justin picked someone who breaks all the rules at once
Yes well said, friends and cottage neighbours since Justin was 6 years old. If Mr. Johnston had any dignity he should have recused himself. What a way to end a great career, he will be remembered as helping JT to cover up this gongshow.
Don’t forget he was also Trudeaus Principal at McGill Uni.
No Surprise!
@Swan Anderson Huh. Didn’t know that. Always wondered how he managed to get into (and flunk out of) engineering with his BA in Literature
All the wasted tax money on these inquiries and family friends is criminal.
JT wont even try to hide his corruption anymore.
Why doesn’t he just get his mom Maggie to investigate, this is ridiculous.
Imagine if a grocery CEO was caught fixing prices or price gauging, then chose a high ranking buddy from within the grocery store company to investigate if their company fixed prices
This is exactly what the government is doing. Insiders investigating insiders. An obvious and blatant conflict of interest
Do they really need a partisan panel defending their party and attacking the others ?
He would not even qualify for jury duty under the same circumstances. This is not complicated.
Come on Greg, try to make a fair assessment. At least Larissa made a fair assessment.
Yes!!! How is there any question about that? When politicians are assigning close friends and relatives to investigate and determine whether said politicians have done something wrong, its called government corruption.
Sophie should be the one to investigate her husband, independently of course !
If you need to ask this question then it’s a definite yes
A lifelong family friend as an independent rapporteur lol
Par for the course🎉
Johnston’s integrity is much in doubt if he has willingly agreed to take on this position.
