I thought your Nostradamus act was spot on. Basically, Justin will be a politician as usual. Nothing new to see here. It made sense to me also, although we both should have remembered how he actually nailed the Convoy inquiry. This was a repeat performance for sure. I wish he could be that guy every day…

I am always impressed with your dispassionate and objective take on these issues. Thank you for that.

It’s more interesting to me to see how differently the Globe’s headlines and overall take is from yours. He’s definitely throwing CSIS under the bus. He only hears what he wants to hear, or worse, he lies about ever hearing it, and he can’t even be bothered to read the reports or get his priorities straight . He is suspiciously at odds with the clear and obvious views of the intelligence community and our allies conclusions. He’s hiding something. A lot of things. He can’t be trusted.

As a lifelong reader of the Globe, nobody has had more influence over my views on politics. It appears obvious from their headlines, news stories, editorials, and opinions, that Justin was just never ready and now well past his best before date. It’s time for the adults to take back the controls. Or, maybe they are just fanning the fire because it’s good for business. I’m more worried about disinformation spread via social media, either by foreign or domestic actors. To me, as far as free and fair elections are concerned, this is the biggest threat to Canadian and global security.

Is that it? Is that it?

Intervention in our electoral processes (not just the elections themselves) can be withheld from the voters because Liberal staff and appointees decide that allegations about Liberal nominations don't meet a threshold? What threshold?

The PM had to be dragged into this Inquiry after using every possible plausible reason to not have one! We still do not have a Foreign Agent Registry, what is holding that up? I am tired of hearing about the “performance” - this is not Ice Dancing. The memory is selective, rehearsed - he & the Telford sang the identical tune - and like a former US President, ignores the domestic security service when it does not serve his political purposes. It does beg the question, what would it take to overturn a Liberal “Democratic event”?
