  1. Hopefully this committee is more effective at getting answers than the Emergencies Act committee.

  2. Sounds like it was all planned and a wrench was thrown in when the types of guns wouldn’t be announced, hmm, makes you wonder doesn’t it?

    1. No need to disband the whole force. Construct a committee of retired officers with solid backgrounds to interview prospective commissioners. Investigate the applicants background in policing and vote in the most appropriate candidate. Have a yearly survey of all members of the force to determine if the commissioner should stay or go. Keep the appointments out of the governments hands.

    1. Unadulterated. The NDP need to either oust Jagmeet or he had to withdraw his agreement. They can’t continue to support this government and not be complicit.

  3. Nothing will be done. There is no accountability for the PMO as we’ve seen over several years. The NDP should be ashamed of propping up in your face corruption.

  4. To understand what is taking place and being disclosed by Government activist news and still supporting them shows the power of demoralization programming.

  5. Wow totally illegal and interference…Something needs to be done. Just sickening 🙏⛑🕯

  6. Absolutely no accountability in Canada’s government nor the policing agencies henchmen. Never have we been so ashamed to be Canadian.

  7. The lawyer says he doesn’t want to see this turn into political theatre in which the government may have engaged politically into a criminal investigation and the RCMP’s independence?

  8. Trudeau usually has someone to take the fall for him, waiting to see who it will be this time. The drama teacher is definitely setting himself up for a climactic grand finale. Trudeau has gone from cringy to flat-out disgusting! makes me wonder if the PM truly is reflective of modern Canadian values.

  9. Little Justin is pretty silent lately. He’s prorogued parliament, had covid twice and whatever else. Wonder what magic excuse he’ll have this time to go into hiding?
