Trump tweeted that he's going to hang this picture of his inauguration in the White House. Too bad the date is wrong.

Spoiler for size

NSFW!

Trudeau put the clamps down on immigration and on defense, so every government does it.

Survived, but still not acceptable.

Trudeau put a gag order on Immigration during the Syrian refugee stuff. And he made everyone involved in the Super Hornet purchase sign a gag order.

They don't like truth.

I would guess CC is referring to about 200 civil servants in the DoD being forced to sign lifetime NDA's over the fighter jet replacement plan:

http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2016/11..._13209940.html

The only link I can find regarding muzzling Immigration officials goes back to The Rebel, so is considered debunked by default.

I did find a story indicating that scientists are still largely muzzled under Trudeau, however:

Wasn't there also an issue with the Conservatives destroying years of environmental data and studies, too?

Since I don't follow the Rebel, I know I got the immigration story elsewhere.

Anyone who doesn't think that Justin is as secretive if not more secretive the Harper is fooling themselves. You just have to look at the PMO actions on this whole vacation thing and on his vacation last year where they redacted the passenger manifest on the plane.

Maybe? How is that relevant to commenting on the Liberal government being just as bad as the Conservative government for muzzling the civil service?

None of this is really relevant because Trump is about to make Harper look like the Sierra Club.

Trump is preventing departments from talking with everyone, in luring members of congress, which is crazy considering that is where congress gets their information to make decisions. Is that what Trudeau did as well, effectively breaking the function of government? This is exactly was authoritarians do.
