    If this is the big “Nothing Burger” that Mr Johnston claims, & PM Justin Trudeau knew nothing about nothing, then what’s this 1/2 a year ago in Bali at the G-20 Summit? Trudeau held talks with Xi, the first in more than three years, at the G20 summit on Tuesday, according to Canadian officials...

    Rapporteur David Johnson, Eminent Canadian

    Like all Canadians, I let out a sigh of relief on Tuesday when special rapporteur David Johnston announced that we did not need a public inquiry into foreign interference in Canadian politics. By golly, we can all enjoy summer now that the pesky business of China interfering with elections...

    I think that might be one of the lines from the song above. 😉

    They knew that they were going to be thrown under the bus? They knew that they were going to be scapegoated? They knew that they were doing their job?

    Statement from someone from the Canadian Intelligence Community: Those of us who worked, or are still toiling, in intelligence go to the office every day with one purpose only: to get the best data possible from sensitive sources and share that with senior officials to keep them informed. We do...

    Rapporteur David Johnson, Eminent Canadian

    Leaders of Canadian activist and religious groups targeted by Beijing are calling for a public inquiry into foreign interference, saying it isn’t enough for former governor-general David Johnston to hold hearings to listen to their concerns about China’s efforts to silence their criticism...

    Some of it’s pretty cool but in small doses. It does make you want to get off your arse and hit the dance floor (or mosh pit in days past), but not once did it make me want to take a machine gun to a McDonald’s? Damn… Worked Security at a Scottish Pavilion years ago, & though the band was from...

    Serryah, this kind of sums up what I was trying to say above. It’s Tom Mulcair (former NDP leader) and his perspective, & he 100% predicted that there was no way David Johnston wouldn’t announce a Public Inquiry before he didn’t:

    I could state the reason that he’s given, and site several examples from several Talking Heads, stating why that’s faulty. I don’t think the public hearings with David Johnson are going to work either. I think a public inquiry would be much more effective with actual subpoena power for the...

    This probably doesn’t need to be mentioned, but the NDP has announced that they’ll be reacting to the latest development in the Chinese interference scandal by doing nothing. For months, the NDP has joined the Conservatives in saying that nothing less than a full public inquiry would be needed...

    Rapporteur David Johnson, Eminent Canadian

    I try and pull information for many different sources, even the CBC, and I have yet to find any talking head anywhere (outside of the Liberal Party I guess) saying that no public inquiry is a good idea, & that the David Johnston public hearings are the answer. Maybe everybody is wrong except...

    Ironic…the Easter Island reference, as in appointing a Special Rapa Nui to investigate itself. 😁 Trudeau is an idiot. I think that’s obvious at this point, but this issue is complex as you’ve mentioned, affecting government on at least three different levels, with obscured details that if not...
