Sending a senior foreign affairs staffer to a party at Russia’s foreign embassy was offensive and undermines Canada’s mission to hold Russia accountable for its horrific actions in Ukraine.

At first, Joly attempted to paint the situation as entirely the fault of public servants in her department, and suggested the decision wasn’t run by her office beforehand. She wouldn’t say whether she personally knew about plans to attend the Russia Day celebration.

Melanie Joly says a Canadian representative never should have attended a party at the Russian Embassy and that the buck stops with her as the Minister. She didn’t answer if she knew in advance that the representative planned to attend the party or who they were.

The reality is, this should never have happened. And this will not happen again. I’m the Minister and the buck stops here.

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.”
