    1. @Wayne McMorran if they are proven to be corrupt . And they shouldn’t have the powers to stop any investigation. Don’t care what party they belong to.

  1. Politics is certainly not any longer governing for the benefit of the country!
    We are now officially a banana republic!! A government calling an election in order to hide its multiple cases of corruption!!! No other way to explain it!

  2. The truth is all documents presented to both the ethics and finance committees were given liberal bureaucrat redacted documents instead of by the rightly tasked law clerk. The liberals filibustered that vote to stop the law clerk from doing their job. The liberals are willing to go to an election so no one can see what’s really in the WE charity documents so it’s obviously very damaging.

  3. does anyone remember when it was that being a politician became about just grabbing as much money as you can versus actually serving the public?

    1. Politicians for the most part of how always been at least somewhat crooked. The Enoch Powells and Tony Benns of the political world are few and far between

    2. they play along for pension , what is it 8yrs then get a lifetime stipend more than most working class make only to be lucky to get $12000 a year on pension

  4. Liberals will turn everything into a confidence vote from here on in depending on how the NDP votes. They will govern like they have a majority as a result of today.

    1. @Flavius Belisarius there is no 2nd wave. They are making things up. They will quickly bring on a 3rd wave to really crunch down. Get rid of Trudeau.

    2. @Flavius Belisarius The 2nd wave is still the 1st wave! Who are you kidding? So open up for the 3 wave, 4th, 5th………..smart?
      In BC we had it on the ropes; but we opened up too soon!

    3. @Wayne Polk hey sir there was more deaths from the influenza virus than covid.. also why would Trudeau let planes fly in and out way after the fact of this virus being so dangerous? The liberals ARE the virus. Alberta is dying and when a.b dies, so does canada

  5. You know… When is enough ENOUGH ? Trudeau is clearly front and center in multiple scandals to which he has NEVER answered to, Heck he NEVER answers any question properly, it’s just continuous BS.

  6. Trudeau thinks his government is as family business family and friends get everything they need and more first

  7. When and if there is an election Trudeau will not be there he will quit being the Prime Minister and leader of the liberal party if he doesn’t his party is going to lose bad
