OTTAWA — The federal commission of inquiry into foreign interference is looking to examine alleged meddling by India in the last two general elections.
In a statement today, the commission says it has asked the federal government to produce documentation related to these allegations.
The commission’s terms of reference, published last year, direct it to assess possible interference by China, Russia and other foreign states or non-state actors in the 2019 and 2021 federal elections.
The statement today signals the commission’s intention to probe any role India might have played in influencing the two ballots.
The commission’s initial hearings, to begin Monday, will look at the challenges and limitations of disclosing classified national security information and intelligence to the public.
An interim report from the commission is due May 3, with a final report expected by the end of the year.

Foreign interference inquiry signals plan to probe alleged meddling by India
The federal commission of inquiry into foreign interference is looking to examine alleged meddling by India in two general elections.
Old-school politicians and commentators may continue to view the Canadian political scene through left-centre-right lenses, and continue to mistakenly dismiss Mr. Poilievre and the Conservatives as nothing more than “right-wing conservatives.” But should Canadian voters come to see the next federal election for what it really is – a contest between aristocratic elitism and democratic populism – they’ll ask which of the parties and leaders are most in tune with their aspirations and concerns, and the outcome is most likely to be a rejection of the Liberals and the NDP.
Opinion: The old left-centre-right political axis has been replaced — The Globe and Mail
Increasingly, the framework to most clearly understand Western politics is to view it as a contest between aristocratic elitists and democratic populists
Here in Canada, both Liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh, the Prime Minister’s partner in a supply-and-confidence agreement, reek of aristocratic elitism. Mr. Trudeau, like John Quincy Adams, comes from a political family; Mr. Singh was educated in an expensive private high school in the U.S., and leads a party which long ago abandoned its populist roots in the Cooperative Commonwealth Federation of Saskatchewan. Both champion climate change and the causes of minorities selectively defined by “diversity, inclusion, and equity,” courting the support of media, academic and social elites.
But both leaders and their parties appear to be increasingly losing touch with the majority of Canadians, who are more concerned with the surging costs of housing and food, ever-increasing taxes, and the replacement of universal access to health care with universal access to ever-lengthening waiting lines.
Increasingly, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is becoming aligned with this majority. His background helps: He comes from a more humble family background than Mr. Trudeau or Mr. Singh, with political beginnings rooted in the positive populism of Western Canada.
Close, but not quite. Adopted by some school teachers in Calgary AB as a baby. It’s partially why he’s so likable.
So, if ya get adopted into Westernesse, your dick grows eight inches (20 cm) and you start sticking it in girls?
You get adopted right into the tribe!! You will also discover that you know how to tune 2-cycle engines from dirt-bikes to chain-saws, drive stick on pretty much any configuration from 3 to 24 speeds, including manual transmissions on everything from motorcycles to space shuttles.
Yes, but can one be a true Man of Westernesse if one was born a Frenchy Ontaribec faggot, or will there always be whispers and suspicions?
I mean, look at Gretzky. He makes it big as a Man of Westernesse and mighty warrior, then what does he do? He opens up a whinery in Ontariowe. What could be more faggoty?
You would have to define “faggoty” as there might be several different definitions of it depending on the context that it’s used in.
Nope. Y'all got a hypothetical to answer before you're allowed to go out for play-time with the other kids.
NDP leader says working with Liberals on pharmacare like wrestling with ’slimy’ eels

EDMONTON — Working with the Liberals on pharmacare legislation has been like wrestling eels covered in oil, as NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh describes it.
Singh told a town hall meeting in Edmonton, where the New Democrats are holding a caucus retreat, that dealing with the federal government is “not fun.”
“They’re just slimy and break their promises,” Singh said this week, getting laughs from the crowd.
“They say one thing and then try to get out of it, but we’re not giving up and we’re not backing down.”
When the House of Commons returns on Monday, NDP members of Parliament say they will continue to press to get the bill drafted, with Singh calling the effort “the next big fight.”
The NDP has been pushing for a system to cover Canadians’ prescription medicines as part of its deal with the minority Liberals.
A first draft of the bill was rejected by the New Democrats back in September. Since then, more proposals have been exchanged between the two parties, but the NDP is withholding details and saying they will not negotiate in public.
Singh told the crowd that he took the eel description from his party’s health critic Don Davies, who has been negotiating with the government on a framework bill.
He said the entire caucus agrees with the characterization.
Davies said he will leave those descriptions to Singh, but he is optimistic a bill will be tabled by the March 1 deadline.
The NDP is currently waiting for a response to its most recent proposal, said Davies, adding he expects to resume talks with Health Minister Mark Holland next week.
The party said the government’s first draft of the prospective legislation had left the door open for a mixed public-private system in which the pharmaceutical industry would continue to make “huge profits.”
“We’re battling for the proper way to deliver prescription medicine to Canadians, and that’s through our public system,” Davies said.
“The NDP have been very clear on this. We set down a very clear line in the sand.”
In October, delegates at an NDP policy convention agreed to make pharmacare a red line in their confidence-and-supply agreement with the Liberals. They voted to withdraw their support on key House of Commons votes if the minority Liberal government doesn’t adhere to their demands.
Should the NDP pull out of the deal, that won’t necessarily trigger an election. The party would instead handle each parliamentary vote on a case-by-case basis.

NDP leader says working with Liberals on pharmacare like wrestling with ’slimy’ eels

Not having a lot of experience with slimy eel wrestling, I'll take his word for it.
You Canadians sure do some weird shit.
You Canadians sure do some weird shit.
Guess him not being concerned about monetary issues is coming into play. Spend & borrow big time thus increase inflation so spend more (cuz we care) thereby increasing inflation some more & the circus continues.Prior to Trudeau and the Liberals coming to power, every other Canadian prime minister going back to Brian Mulroney, elected in 1984, decreased the number of civil servants per 1,000 population during their time in office, the MEI said.
Mulroney lowered it by 10.2%, Jean Chretien by 9.7%, Stephen Harper by 6.3% and Paul Martin by 1.0% until the Trudeau government increased it by 25.3%, according to the study.
“Since the Trudeau government came to power, there has been an unprecedented expansion in the size of the bureaucracy,” said study author Gabriel Giguere, public policy analyst at the MEI.
While part of the increase in the size of the public service was due to the pandemic, the MEI study said, “it is not the primary factor explaining the increase in the number of federal employees.
“The growth in the federal workforce under the Trudeau government has broken with the restraint that characterized governments of the previous 40 years.”
On Wednesday, Trudeau rejected criticism from the Business Council of Canada that his government needs to cut spending by $12 billion annually, or $50 billion over four years, to meet its own fiscal target of keeping federal deficits below 1% of GDP, starting in 2026-27.
Trudeau said he’s focused on supporting Canadians in tough economic times and growing the economy, which won’t be achieved by “austerity and cuts” advocated by business groups and the Conservatives?

The Trudeau government has increased the size of the federal public service by 37.9%, or almost 100,000 additional employees, since coming to power in 2015, according to a new study by the Montreal Economic Institute. As of March 31, 2023, the total number of federal employees reached 357,247...apple.news
