It should massive news, but instead it’s just so Canadianly boring.

We'll see what happens.
There are a few roads ahead for this one.
Justin decides to allow the Public Inquiry should go ahead. Now that its extremely broad view thanks to the NDP it'll be easy to distract from the Chinese interference or let it get lost in the backwash.
Trudeau could just deny the public inquiry, and hope Canadians have a short attention span.
He could in theory prorogue parliament, go to the budget and trigger a non confidence vote and take this issue directly to the voter.
