While Jagmeet Singh brings his baby to the House of Commons, still no comment from Singh regarding the Liberals alleged involvement in the Nova Scotia mass shootings investigation.

Props are not permitted in the House of commons but that didn’t stop Jagmeet Singh to use his baby to promote federally funded childcare and inflation. Liberal minister of families Karina Gould refers to Jagmeet’s baby as “little person”.

Jagmeet Singh Says About Freedom Movement Meeting with James Topp: Their Goal was to Overthrow Parliament

Even though Canada Unity voluntarily withdrew their MOU citing a misunderstanding and that they never intended to overthrow the government, and the Freedom Convoy was peaceful, Jagmeet Singh months later is still sticking to the same old script:
“Their goal was to overthrow the democratically elected Parliament and that’s not something that we should be supporting,” NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh says of reports that a group of Conservative MPs met with “Freedom Convoy” organizers yesterday in Ottawa.

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.”

MPs Rush Bill C-11 With Hundreds of Amendments to Streaming Bill in a Day but Senate Not in a Rush

MPs Rush Bill C-11 With Hundreds of Amendments to Streaming Bill in a Day but Senate Not in a Rush

Bill C-11 updates the Broadcasting Act to require streaming platforms to follow Cancon rules. Shrouded in secrecy by force, dozens of amendments to #BillC11 were defeated or passed without reading them into the public record.

MPs have rushed through over 100 amendments to the online streaming bill to meet a deadline imposed by the government, prompting accusations of secrecy and legislative bungling.

Liberal gatekeepers and censors want to control what you see and say online.

I won't let them.

There were heated exchanges between MPs at the heritage committee on Tuesday night as they voted on dozens of amendments to the bill, which would update the Broadcasting Act to include streaming platforms.

MPs on the committee, who sat until after midnight voting on amendments, say they were only made aware of their contents on Tuesday morning.

The heritage committee was given until Tuesday night to debate amendments to the bill after the government imposed a time-allocation motion to push it through the Commons committee stage.

Many of the amendments, including those proposed by the government, were voted on without debate, meaning that their contents were not described to members of the public watching the committee.

But senators have signaled they will not be pressured to speed up consideration of the bill, claiming they have thwarted government ploys to push it through the upper house.

The online streaming bill, which the government rushed through the Commons heritage committee on Tuesday, is now subject to a pre-study by the Senate committee on transport and communications.

The Senate committee’s chair, Conservative Sen. Leo Housakos, accused the government of planning to “ram this legislation through without proper parliamentary scrutiny.”

Many feel that the real intent is to crack down on opinions Ottawa considers misinformation. Expressions of opinions that aren’t supported by facts could soon be ordered removed from social media in Canada if the chief architects of the nation’s nascent Online Harms legislation have their way.

The Canadian Civil Liberties Association worried that the government’s plans would turn online platforms such as Facebook and Twitter into “agents of law enforcement, creating mandatory reporting and preservation obligations that may expand over time and significantly impact the privacy rights of Canadians.” The inclusion of CSIS in the process was, it noted, “of particular concern.”

Freeland Grilled by NDP MP Matthew Green About Being Evasive During Emergencies Act Committee

Tia Riley — Thu, 16 Jun 2022 04:08:24 +0000

‘It’s to the point of almost being contemptible,’ NDP MP Matthew Green says of the Finance Minister’s appearance. NDP MP Matthew Green challenged Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland on Tuesday during a special joint committee on the invocation of the Emergencies Act about the answers she was providing, saying she had cited news articles and people spoken to as primary sources. He said they needed to know if the government had “facts that would meet the economic impacts of the occupation to be significant enough to meet the threshold of a threat to national security.”

MP Matthew Green expressed his concern for the lack of facts being provided during questioning “You’re here both as the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance. I have to say that I’m very concerned with the nature of the answers we have now the fourth intervention. And I’m not sure that you’ve brought any additional facts.”

Jagmeet Singh Runs From Sikh Canadians in Brampton Calling Him “Sellout Singh”.

Federal NDP leader Jagmeet Singh at a provincial election campaign stop to help promote Brampton West NDP MPP candidate Navjit Kaur did his best to avoid members of the local Sikh community who came out to the event to ask him tough questions about his positions on mandates and other areas of policy where they believe he has undermined the community. Based on reports by Jaskanwal Singh, who was one of the people looking to speak to Singh, called the police and had several people removed from the property the meet and greet was happening for “trespassing,” despite the event being open to the public.

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.
