Christie Blatchford’s Take on the Debate

Ms. Blatchford wasn’t impressed:

Scheer pointed out that he’d broken ethics rules twice, interfered with an ongoing criminal investigation (SNC-Lavalin and the full-court press Trudeau, a few of his key henchmen and staffers in the PCO and PMO, put on former attorney general Jody Wilson-Raybould) and asked, “When did you decide the rules don’t apply to you?”

Trudeau first had the gall to repeat his mantra from the height of the SNC imbroglio: “The role of the PM is to stand up for Canadian jobs.”
Scheer snapped, reminded him “you said the allegations in the Globe and Mail were false,” and Trudeau seriously responded, “They were false.”

No, sir, they weren’t.

Interesting

And interestinger.


I’m back in the ring again tomorrow (in Philadelphia) for a final day, so I’ll be the last to know how this rattles out.

It’s All in the Framing

Look at how the Toronto Star’s Andrew Phillips begins an editorial about Maxime Bernier:

As a journalist I’ve interviewed and “platformed” hundreds, maybe thousands, of people in dozens of countries. Many of them were appalling.

They included murderers and terrorists. An IRA hit man in Belfast who wasn’t shy about describing his killings. Politicians and generals who were later found guilty of carrying out genocide in Bosnia. Literal neo-Nazis in Germany and the politicians who fronted for them.

Just imagine how self-satisfied this “journalist” must be. 🙁

Your Moral And Intellectual Superiors

We are all Russian now.

It’s not investigative reporting – it’s an intentional misinformation campaign and you’ll be hearing it everywhere this month: “The Russians are tweeting! the Russians are tweeting! Trust only your Liberal Pravda.”

He’s a lawyer, I trust he’ll put that to use.

Shiny Marquis de Blackface

And now this today, in the Sunday Telegraph;

On the evening of Feb 24, 2001 Justin Trudeau breezed into the palatial Fairmont hotel overlooking Vancouver harbour for a charity gala.
 
It was supposed to be a formal event with an “Arabian Nights” theme including belly dancers and Middle Eastern music.
 
Some 500 guests showed up, the men in tuxedos. Except Mr Trudeau. He had painted his face, hands and feet black, donned billowing robes, and placed a giant turban on his head. Not one other person was in blackface.
 
If Mr Trudeau felt any embarrassment at his jaw-dropping and racially offensive faux pas, then he didn’t show it.
 
[…]
 
The Telegraph can reveal that the woman photographed being hugged by the blackfaced future prime minster was Mariam Matossian, a fellow teacher.

Scratch A Leftist

Find an anti-Semite;

B’nai Brith Canada is deeply disturbed by the New Democratic Party’s nomination of a candidate who was filmed affixing “warning” labels to Israeli products on Canadian store shelves and encouraging Canadians to boycott them.
 
Miranda Gallo, the NDP candidate for the Montreal riding of Saint-Laurent, starred in the troubling videos in 2016 as an employee of “Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East” (CJPME), an anti-Israel group. CJPME’s “Sticky Note Campaign” targets not just products hailing from areas disputed between Israel and the Palestinians, but even items produced in the Jewish State’s internationally-recognized territory.

The NDP are cool with it, though.

Coulda Had Max

And now they do;

After not initially meeting all necessary criteria, the Commission has decided to include Bernier, who formed the still fledgling federal political party in 2018 with a vow to run a candidate in all 338 ridings.
 
“Based on our further evaluation, I’m satisfied that more than one candidate endorsed by the party has a reasonable chance to be elected,” said Commissioner David Johnston in a statement.

I have my own suspicions about why the change of heart, and it isn’t for the reasons stated.
