Conservatives and NDP Press Bill Blair About Interference into Nova Scotia Mass Shooting Investigation

Tia Riley — Mon, 27 Jun 2022 04:21:33 +0000

Conservatives have been pressing the Liberals to come out and tell the truth about any interference into Nova Scotia mass shooting investigation. Finally a member of the NDP Alistair MacGregor has also stepped up in the House of Commons asking the Liberals to cooperate with the investigation.

Bill Blair repeatedly denies any involvement or influence in the investigation. Bill Blair went so far as to say that “there was no promise” contrary to what RCMP commissioner Lucki has stated. RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki said that she made a promise to the Minister of Public Safety, and the Prime Minister’s Office, that she would release information on the April 18th-19th shootings.

Somebody is not telling the truth, is it the RCMP, is it the Liberals or both?

Bill Blair came under fire during question period Wednesday over allegations of political interference that suggested RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki was acting on the orders of the Liberals in the wake of the mass shooting in Nova Scotia in April 2020.

Facing multiple questions, Blair came to the defense of Commissioner Brenda Lucki, who is at the center of the controversy, which has generated calls for emergency parliamentary hearings.

“There was no pressure brought to bear and no interference with the operational decisions of the RCMP,” Blair told reporters on Wednesday. “I made no effort to pressure the RCMP to interfere in any way with their investigation. I gave no direction as to what information they should communicate. Those are operational decisions of the RCMP. And I respect that and I have respected that throughout.”

Passport Delays Are So Bad Even the Bloc are Expressing Their Concern to the Liberals in the HOC. The Federal fiasco is becoming dangerous. At this point, the police have had to intervene in lineups at passport offices, and they’re not just managing people’s anger. They’re answering questions on behalf of federal employees.

“At every hour in every riding, and I’m sure it’s true in all 338 ridings, citizens are desperate and they’re calling us about passports again over the weekend, a nurse had to take time off instead of going to take care of sick people and is waiting in line to have access to passports and Laval police officers had to be sent to calm the discontent of citizens.”

Liberals Feeling the Inflationary Heat in HOC! Inflation is So Bad That Both the NDP and the Conservatives are Grilling the Liberals

Liberals Feeling the Inflationary Heat in HOC! Inflation is So Bad That Both the NDP and the Conservatives are Grilling the Liberals. The Finance Minister must be wearing industrial grade noise cancelling earphones to avoid hearing the calls from economist to Qatar government’s over the top spending. She knows that it’s only adding gas to the inflationary fire. The Prime Minister has said that anything that has a hint of fiscal risk considering restraint he is austerity. He acts Bill Morneau for wanting to get COVID Post COVID spending under control is she worried that if she presents anything to the prime minister that remotely resembles a cat that she might suffer the same fate of her predecessor, who went from finance minister more no to finance minister.

“They keep talking about things that they were doing or should have been doing before inflation struck. The fact is, Canadians are worried about losing their homes. They’re worried about feeding their families.”

Are Passport Delays a Result of Staff Still Working from Home and Staff Shortages Due to Vaccine Mandates?

Tia Riley — Tue, 21 Jun 2022 18:54:59 +0000

Unprecedented demand for Canadian passports has led to delays in processing times, putting eager travelers in limbo ahead of the summer travel season.

According to the federal government, a fraction of the passports that are normally filed in a year were filed over two years of COVID-19, so during the pandemic, passport staff were given other work. Now, Service Canada is trying to shift that workload elsewhere, hire more staff and open more access points, but has no idea when the backlogs will be resolved.

So what’s behind all of the passport delays?

According to Blacklock’s Reporter many of Service Canada’s employees are still working from home:
“Of 26,136 Service Canada’s employees that handles passport applications, a total 18,362 are working from home.”

“I completely understand the frustration Canadians are facing right now.”

Passport offices have been experiencing staffing shortages.

According to Blacklock’s Reporter the agency that runs passport offices suspended hundreds of staff under vaccinate mandates.

House of Commons Goes Crazy During Intense Debate with Mendicino Over Emergencies Act Misinformation

Tia Riley — Wed, 15 Jun 2022 05:36:28 +0000

Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino has been changing his story from “we acted on the advice of law enforcement” to “we consulted with law enforcement”, to blaming the Conservatives for the Ottawa protest. Watch as the House of Commons goes crazy during intense debate with Marco Mendicino over his invocation of the Emergencies Act misinformation. The federal Conservatives say the public safety minister has lost credibility over his comments about the decision to invoke the Emergencies Act, and they’re calling for him to resign.

Winnipeg Lab Documents: What Did Liberals Promise the NDP to Make them Complicit on Liberal Cover Up

Tia Riley — Thu, 09 Jun 2022 00:12:43 +0000

In Parliament, Liberals refused to hand over the Winnipeg lab documents. Conservatives considered this was a clear violation of law and an attack on Parliament, and it led to a ruling by the Speaker to that effect and to the summoning of the head of the Public Health Agency of Canada to the House of Commons to be formally admonished by the Speaker.

These events raised some serious national security concerns. A joined committee pushing for the government to hand over a series of documents about what happened in these cases. The documents were still never handed over. The NDP and the Bloc worked collaboratively with Conservatives throughout this whole process to try to get to the bottom of this affair.

The NDP have now switched sides and are aiding the Liberals in preventing a Parliamentary committee from accessing these documents. With the NDP switching sides and now failing to support Parliamentary committee access to these documents, they are weakening our democratic institutions by compromising on a fundamental principle of democracy.

Liberals seem to think that they are experts in green technology as spoken by Mark Gerretsen on electric vehicles. May 5, 2022. Mark Gerretsen said in the House of Commons that the Conservatives are assuming that the entire technology is going to remain stagnant, and it’s not going to change in order to what’s going to happen and that electric vehicles are going to become easier to charge. Gerretsen said “It’s gonna become faster to charge. I’m going to tell you right now in 10 or 15 years from now, you will need charging stations other other anywhere other than in your own in your own home. You won’t need charging stations other than in your own home, and that technology is going to advance so quickly that a single charge in your home will be long enough.”

Trudeau Guilty of Fraud He Can Run but He Can’t Hide from the Law

Tia Riley — Wed, 08 Jun 2022 04:51:18 +0000

Trudeau Guilty of Fraud He Can Run but He Can’t Hide from the Law says Conservative MP James Bezan. May 2, 2022

I can’t sit here and be part of a government cover up. And that’s why this morning I again wrote to the RCMP Commissioner regarding the RCMP criminal brief on the investigation into the Prime Minister’s $215,000 private island vacation. The criminal brief says the RCMP differed to the Ethics Commissioner. interpretation of the Prime Minister’s actions were not criminal in nature. However, we now know from the news, the former commissioner Mary Dawson was unfamiliar with the Criminal Code offense of fraud against the government, she had no interpretation to give. So has the Prime Minister spoken to the RCMP in the last week about his criminal behavior?

I think it’s important to recognize even before the Prime Minister was the Prime Minister, even before he was the leader of the Liberal Party, conservative members always had personal attacks against the Prime Minister. Ever since we’ve been in government. Their focus has been character assassination. While they want to focus on that, Mr. Speaker, we will continue to focus on programs that matter. And an excellent example of that is the National Child Care Program. Mr. Speaker, a program that is serving Canadians in every region of our nation today.

The Prime Minister should really answer his questions he can run but he can’t hide from the law. The RCMP difference to the retired Commissioner Dawson was asserted as one of the justifications for why it was not in the public interest to pursue a criminal investigation. But now all the public interest arguments by the RCMP for not pursuing charges have been undone in the past week. It is in the public interest for Canadians to know the Prime Minister is not above the law. So will the Prime Minister and his staff cooperate with the RCMP in this investigation of fraud on the government by the Prime Minister.

April we’re witnessing is an ongoing continuation of political theatrics from the Conservative Party. Three leaders ago they were talking about this, Mr. Speaker, at the end of the day, as I’ve pointed out in the previous questions, is that they can continue they can do what they want with their focus. What I can assure Canadians, Mr. Speaker is that this government, whether it’s the Prime Minister, other cabinet ministers, or the Liberal caucus, a whole as a whole will continue to focus our attention on making life better for all Canadians in every region of this nation.
