Liberals only. No other parties can be mentioned (except NDP). ONLY LIBERALS (and NDP).

You can certainly mention Conservatives (or other parties) and bring up their transgressions including in this case, but if you go that route in a situation where a scandal primarily involves the governing party and a report specifically blames that party for inaction and that party has actively acted to squash an inquiry, you better least discuss them at some point to at least pretend you aren't a complete partisan hack
.
There's nothing to indicate NDP is in any way involved in the foreign interference (they were in fact negatively impacted), but by continuously propping up the government and not forcing the matter, their words are merely empty words and they are complicit with the government. That's the problem with coalitions and supply and confidence agreements, the junior party is stuck behind the major party's butthole and gets stained by whatever they crap out. Singh effectively is throwing Jenny Kwan under the coalition bus if he doesn't force a vote of non confidence on the issue.
All MPs who wittingly aided in foreign interference counter to our country's national interests should resign or be charged, no exceptions. Maybe Ozy_Flame gets his dream wish and we find a CPC MP wittingly aided, maybe even a high ranking one, I honestly don't give a crap about the party affiliation in terms of need to be charged or forced to resign.
Having unnamed MPs in parliament who have aided foreign interference, or in the one case divulged privileged information to the point where the term illegal was mentioned and which could be treated as treason, absolutely hinders our democratic system.
But that's the difference between posters that lean politically who aren't partisan and are looking for discussion, and ones who only come in to threads with zero value one sided sarcastic quips and partisan whataboutisms.
