(link seems not to work, but the title is Ingérence: un signe actif de la passivité extrême du gouvernement Trudeau, by QUB Radio) Interesting conversation on the parliamentary espionage affair. One takeaway is that a post-national state, by definition, cannot have a conception of national...

I doubt either he or the DNC were interested anyway.

Nah, all of it weirds me out. @PrairieFella did a good job highlighting the weirdness on the Russian side, I would simply add that it makes me wonder if they replaced their commanders with AI from 2004. Did they forget drones exist? Were they under the wrong impression they were covered by...

I don't think that's quite what was said... IIRC the investigator or prosecutor said that it would be easy for him to gain the jury's sympathy as an old man who made an honest mistake.

What a weird way to conduct warfare.

Many - on the Left - say similar things about the American flag. Or the German flag. Personally, I just don't like seeing foreign flags on my home turf, except in diplomatic contexts or unless they're actual allies in need of support (Ukraine)

Let me guess, it was pretty peaceful, no one waved the flag of a terrorist organization or called for genocide, and they didn't deface any monuments?

I haven't said much because I'm just at a loss for words. Literal treason. Yet... Eerily quiet. https://www.thestar.com/politics/canadians-have-been-told-there-might-be-traitors-in-parliament-why-arent-the-liberals-and/article_b1427f32-24ea-11ef-8ca1-bf484a28f37c.html

Trudeau Liberals losing an ally in Europe, as the Right wins the election. Especially in France, spurring Macron to call an immediate national election. France's Right (RN/R!) could form a majority within a month...

Presumably, it's simply what's available in massive quantities. Maybe the unused components can be sold / cycled back?

Ya hit both nails in one strike. The media are highly complicit in this complacency.

Brihard thinks OJ Simpson didn't do it.

That could save a lot of seats but it won't win them the election. The CPC is close to a majority of the popular vote. They're not losing the next election. But if the Liberals sack Trudeau, it would at least send the message that they're ready to be serious again.

How can the government ask for this if they won't do it themselves? Never forget too: they think we're "asking for more than they can give", but won't shy away from running deficits of tens of billions for a plethora of other pet projects.

Not sure this makes a lot of sense. Russia was an "ally" of convenience at most. They were just as responsible as Germany for starting the war by invading Poland, and their treatment of PoWs and civilians in territories they occupied was abhorrent. Not to mention the long-term consequences of...

Risky? There is zero risk involved. "Oh, one of them is a Tory? No problem, he's out of caucus by COB. Can Liberals do the same?" It's a win either way. They're projected to get 200 MPs next election. They can afford to purge a few traitors, if need be.

All of which can be thrown right back into their faces... C-63 alone does a lot of the work.

Yeah, so it does seem like there's a mental element here, an intent to conceal something. So then the question is to what end? Was it really to "promote a candidate"? That's the part I find dubious and would like to see the jurisprudence on this. It's not like Cohen went and bought ads with...

For sure, I'm not denying that at all and I can't wait for him to be PM. I just warn against expecting him to solve everything.
