Conservatives have been calling for the resignation of the Public Safety Minister, Marco Mendicino because they claim that he lied to Canadians when he said “on the recommendation of law enforcement we invoked the Emergency Act”. Conservatives claim that Mendicino is backpedaling, claiming he was just “misunderstood”, and that there is no room for being misunderstood when setting historical precedents so he must resign. The conservatives have a petition asking for his resignation.
If you thought that it was only the Conservatives accusing the Liberal Marco Mendicino of lying when it comes to invoking the Emergencies Act think again. The leader of the Bloc Quebecois Yves-François Blanchet also accuses Marco Mendicino of citing falsehoods to invoke the Emergencies Act.
