I honestly think that the cabinet ministers thought their PINs would never see the light of day.
Now they know they thought wrong.
Their texts are clear examples of the cavalier disregard they have for anyone other than themselves and their privileged cabalâŚ

... and be allowed to slide, just like every other time he's slammed his Kokanee can in the door. Nothing to umm, errr, see uhhhh, here (insert smug little smirk when appropriate) everyone, errr, just uhhh experienced it, ummm, differently.
Ultimately, I suppose thatâs a matter for voters to decide on next time an election comes around. Thatâs how this part of the system corrects.

Canadian intelligence warned PM Trudeau that China covertly funded 2019 election candidates: Sources
On Chinese election interference, the Trudeau government is talking loudly and doing nothing
Perhaps a little telling that the LPC spoke in depth about foreign interference and funding about the convoy which didn't pan out, but we're just hearing about this election interference now.

So the big question is is Trudeau banning more guns to distract people from the EA fuckery or his Chinese friends fuckery.
Trudeau says opposition creating 'false concern' as he ducks Chinese election interference questions
I'd love to see the mental gymnastics behind how questioning foreign interference in our election is a false concern.

Trying to figure out the criteria for when foreign interference is a false concern, and when it is the end of democracy...

For sure. That headline-worthy comment by Trudeau is outrageous. As if he's willing letting the enemy infiltrate us.

And how much damage can they do until 2024? System corrects?
Yup, thatâs how it goes in our system⌠We vote in a government, and they govern til either a minority loses the confidence of the House, a majority reaches the end of its term, or the PM in the other case calls an election. Whether thatâs a bug or a feature is in the eye of the beholder.
Hopefully team blue makes itself a more viable opponent next go around. The system works better when the opposition takes itself seriously, so that voters more easily can too.

Rejecting unproven claims prevents 'mob' takeover of convoy inquiry: Murray Sinclair
The commissioner presiding over the public inquiry into the use of the Emergencies Act will not allow a lawyer for 'Freedom Convoy' organizers to explore an unsubstantiated claim that hateful imagery spotted at the Ottawa protests last winter was staged.
Rejecting unproven claims the right way for inquiry heads to proceed: Murray Sinclair
Justice Paul Rouleau says in his written reasons that claims by Freedom Corp. lawyer Brenda Miller are "troubling" and have "little foundation in evidence."

I really wonder how stupid out government leaders really are.
I get the idea of a joke, or speaking out of turn, or speaking before you think the whole thought thru and not seeing the issues that comes with that thought. But putting the thoughts out on text, twitter, or written down on a note and passed up the chain. How stupid are they?

âYou need to get the police to move. And the CAF if necessary. Too many people are being seriously adversely impacted by what is an occupation,â Lametti texted to Mendicino.
âHow many tanks are you asking for. I just wanna ask (Defence Minister) Anita (Anand) how many weâve got on hand,â
"
This is the talk banana republics have in the back room, where they do not record and save the conversations electronically.
"But if the federal cabinet had decided to try and fix the problem with soldiers, it wouldnât even have required the invocation of the Emergencies Act. Canadaâs National Defence Act makes clear that the military can be called out to quell any civil unrest âbeyond the powers of the civil authorities to suppress, prevent or deal with.â Most famously, this was the clause used to summon troops to stand guard during the 1990 Oka Crisis."
"
And, unlike with invocations of the Emergencies Act, invoking the National Defence Act doesnât trigger a mandatory public inquiry.
However, when asked whether the military would eventually be employed to clear Freedom Convoy, the Trudeau government was pretty consistent in saying that it wasnât on the table."
I cherry picked some of the quotes.

Luckily for us, these idiots have screwed up the Military so badly there are no tanks to spare
