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?

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.

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.”

Candice Bergen Presses the Liberals To Tell The Truth About Nova Scotia Mass Shooting Investigation

 

Conservatives repeatedly were seeking the truth in the House of Commons, but Bill Blair denies any Federal interference into Nova Scotia mass shooting investigation.

The use of the phrase gateway is an important one here. That’s because Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his ministers will tell you this bill has nothing to do with censoring the Internet.

Is it user generated content covered under the act or not?

YouTubers and other influencers are taking to social media to express their dismay over the Liberal government passing its online censorship law, Bill C-11.

The coalition of creators on YouTube who have arisen to oppose Bill C-11 is truly remarkable. People from the left right and center, supporters of every political party. The consistent theme has been “we don’t want this and no one asked us if we did.”

It was always obvious that the discoverability rules in Bill C-11 would require algorithmic manipulation. That’s why Canadian digital creators were so concerned about the bill. Despite Pablo Rodriguez denials, the CRTC chair confirmed it. And Heritage officials confirm that no other country in the world regulates user content and social media like Bill C-11. Claims it’s about fairness, but reality is other countries have recognized inappropriate to regulate non-curated services in this way

“There remains more questions than answers about Bill C 11. Is it user generated content covered under the act or not? Does the wording of the bill allow for platforms to censor or not?”

These two departments need new ministers who can actually do something about the chaos at airports, visa centers and passport offices. The prime minister’s focus has to be national and not international; Canadians deserve nothing less.

“Another week and more chaos at our airports and even if you want it to go anywhere getting a passport is turning into a Canadian made nightmare. “

“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.”

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.”

The Liberals face a summer of discontent.
Conservatives call Trudeau a disaster.

With headlines like these and trending hashtag’s like this: #TrudeauMustGo, have we seen the end of Trudeau?

Between Covid, vaccine mandates, Canada’s inflation, NDP-Liberal collision, invocation of the Emergencies Act, high gas prices, gun policies, WEF, internet censoring and passport delays to name a few, confidence and trust in the Trudeau Government is at a low.

Candice Bergen calls out: The Liberals are a disaster they can’t get anything right.

“You know it everything these liberals touches a disaster”

 

Conservatives: It’s Time to End this Spiral of Chaotic Liberal Incompetence.

“who will have the courage to stand up the Prime Minister.”

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.”

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.

“The Federal fiasco is becoming dangerous. At this point, the police have had to intervene in lineups at passport offices.”

“To get a passport, people have to bring their tent and spend the night on the sidewalk that’s happening here in Canada, a G7 country.”

 

Citizens spent the weekend seeing for themselves that no one from the federal government was there at work to help.

“Citizens I camped out all weekend in front of Service Canada offices to try to get a passport. In spite of the wind and the rain, they stayed outside all weekend trying to access this service.”
