Immediately <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecanadianpressnews.ca\/national\/liberals-say-foreign-meddling-inquiry-should-look-into-mp-allegations\/article_8edd93d0-8f6d-5cae-9980-f1033348ae8f.html\">rolled over<\/a> and said sure, let\u2019s do that. Which is stupid, because this is an abdication of responsibility, and it lets Pierre Poilievre off the hook for doing the grown-up, responsible work of getting the classified briefing so he knows what\u2019s going on in his own party and so that he can take action. But he doesn\u2019t want to do that, because knowing the truth could mean he might be forced to behave like a responsible adult rather than an ignorant critic who can lob wild accusations from the rooftops with reckless abandon, and that\u2019s what he loves to do because he also knows that\u2019s what\u2019s going to get him media attention. The NDP, meanwhile, tried to amend the motion to get Justice Hogue to also probe the allegations around interference in Conservative leadership races, and Jagmeet Singh says that if he finds any member of his party is implicated after he reads the full report, he\u2019ll <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thestar.com\/politics\/federal\/these-two-party-leaders-say-theyll-consider-naming-the-mps-accused-of-aiding-foreign-governments\/article_c1cb544c-276e-11ef-99a8-7be170158850.html\">kick them out<\/a>. (With no due process? And remember, he\u2019s a criminal defence lawyer, for whom due process is their livelihood). Elizabeth May is also going to get her briefing, and is trying to weigh what she can say publicly when she does. Nevertheless, dropping this in Hogue\u2019s lap is not a solution, but Canadian political leaders love to foist their political problems onto judges to solve for them, which can\u2019t work, and we\u2019re just going to wind up where we are today, but several months later. Because certain leaders refuse to be an adult about it.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Two cents:<\/p>\n<p>Will Hogue be mandated to name the parliamentarians?

The report didn\u2019t actually say anything about mainstream media, and if you have a grasp of the media landscape, the report is likely referring to ethno-cultural media outlets serving diaspora communities, as there is plenty of documented evidence of particularly Chinese interference in some of these outlets in Canada. But the Conservatives don\u2019t care about the truth, or context\u2014they want to flood the zone with bullshit in order to create this dystopian alternate reality for their followers with the explicit aim of reducing their trust in reality, and that\u2019s exactly what they have weaponised the report to do.
