Only way to solve this is have Trudeau and PP duke it out in a boxing match.

I would guess that Trudeau is going to announce some sort of special committee (or the same thing by another name). He might even appoint some sort of retired judge or high level former politician to oversee it. The main thing is that the work will all be done out of the public eye and everyone will be sworn to secrecy. In this way he can ensure that it doesn't stay in the daily news cycle, if reporters ask they can just say "we're waiting for the committee to report".

Then finally the committee will report directly to the PMO or possibly to cabinet. The government will claim that some issues were found which didn't affect any election and that any problems have been solved. No one will be able to say anything different because they are bound by NDA's and if pressed the government will claim that they can't provide documentation because it is classified. If they release anything it will be heavily redacted.

That's my prediction, let's see what he has to say.

I'd rather pistols at 2 yards.

I wasn't all that crazy about PP reaction in the press conference this morning.

Personally the smart strategy would have been to suspend or toss the MP's that met with Anderson.

Then ask Trudeau about his meetings with Nazi's and a criminal assassin.

But instead PP came across as angry and petty.

And by not doing anything he's really given Justin a club to hit in with come election time.

I think he'll focus more on the RCMP hunting down traitorous elements in CSIS and that the Liberal Party will bring these monsters to justice and pull out their fingernails.

What was that movie in the 80s with Stallone where he was arm wrestling trucker. Over the top? Anyways, that is the answer. Arm wrestling trucker event. Hits up a few demographics for PP.

An arm wrestling match might actually be a huge boost for PP if he really is a swole daddy under those mid-priced suits.

Honestly, how could anyone vote for someone that lost an arm wrestling match to someone with the sort of permanent cringe-aura/negative like-ability that PP carries? It would make you physically ill.

He'd never arm wrestle. He'd want body contact.
To me, PP comes across as one of those guys who professes disgust thinking about two guys together, but goes nuts watching UFC fights.

Watching CTV Power Play with Vassy Kapelos and she is absolutely hammering the Liberal Minister, Marco Mendicino, the Minister of Public Safety.

This is exactly what journalism should be, holding the powers at be to account on the decisions they make. For days and weeks now the governing Liberals have been trying to downplay this entire situation and a "nothing to see here" mentality.

The complete reversal on the messaging and the appointment of the special rapporteur to look into this matter, looks terrible for Trudeau and company.

Personally I don't believe there was mass interference or that the election results were dramatically altered or anything. A few MP's, Liberal ones perhaps may have benefited from some more positive messaging or some other things from China, not that is a small thing, but far from China going through massive lengths to keep Trudeau in power.

This is probably a symptom of the male ego not allowing a decision that is obviously in the public's interest and something very important for the public, to be made, cause it's questioning you.

Bringing up a 20-year old incident that Trudeau has survived two elections through despite the public knowing about, hoping it distracts from your party meeting with nazis this year?

Bold strategy. Let’s see how it plays.

Conservatives really like going back to that dry well, peeing in it, and taking a big swig for everyone to watch.

Harper was PM in 2015. It is embarrassing to bring up his name by the PM as some kind of defence for, anything. His name should literally never be mentioned again by Trudeau, it’s that stupid. Why not complain about Diefenbaker or hell, Macdonald while you’re at it?

Why can’t you fascisti read the room?

Believe it or not, there was a time in this fair land when a reasonable fiscal conservative could win enough seats to be a danger to the mild left.

Interesting day today, Justin basically punts the Chinese thing down the road with this and put it behind closed doors and remain in control of who he appoints to run this.

Then he runs down the field and completely pie faces Jagmeet Singh by voting with the Conservatives to kill the NDP motion to condemn Ontario's use of private health care clinic. Which was hinted at yesterday when Mark Gerrettsen posted this.

Was PP talking about the blackface or the dressing up when JT went to India (I mean I guess it really doesn't matter. Just curious). Those three PC MPs should have been turfed.

Maybe they will be turfed when one of the liberal MP’s get turfed for getting caught handing out contracts to their friends or relatives which seems to happen every second day.

It would be beyond awkward for those in the Rebel News/Western Standard/ True North universe to see the drama teacher kick the #### out of Millhouse.
