Conservatives push for Katie Telford's testimony on election interference, question NDP stance
During question period on Monday, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre along with MPs Melissa Lantsman and Michael Barrett pushed for the Liberals to allow Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's chief of staff Katie Telford to testify on election interference.
Poilievre said Canadians needed to know what Telford and Trudeau both knew about election interference and went on to target NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh whose party's votes would be necessary in order for her to be called for testimony.
"The question for him is will he help his boss, the prime minister, cover up or will he vote for the prime minister's chief of staff to testify, which is it," Poilievre asked, though during question period only those on the Liberal bench would be able to answer his questions.

Election interference is not a party issue. It does not matter if you voted Consservative, Liberal, NDP, Bloc, Green, or for another party entirely. This is an issue that affects everyone. All Canadians deserve the truth

Some of the key provisions in the Act that address foreign election interference include: Prohibition on foreign contributions: The Act prohibits foreign entities, including individuals and organizations, from making contributions to political parties, candidates, or nomination contestants in Canadian federal elections. Prohibition on foreign influence: The Act prohibits any person, including a foreign entity, from influencing or attempting to influence an election result by any means that involve "fraudulent or deceptive" practices or that "mislead" voters. Requirement for registration: The Act requires third-party groups that engage in partisan activities, such as advertising or campaigning, to register with Elections Canada. This includes any foreign entity that engages in partisan activities during a federal election. Disclosure requirements: The Act requires third-party groups that engage in partisan activities to disclose information about their activities, including the sources of their funding. Investigation and enforcement: The Act gives the Commissioner of Canada Elections the power to investigate alleged violations of the Act's provisions on foreign election interference and to prosecute those who are found to have contravened the Act. Overall, the Canada Elections Act aims to ensure that Canada's electoral process is free from foreign interference and that all Canadians have the opportunity to participate in free and fair elections.

I see Canada's censorship authority wasn't happy with the two replies you received. They aren't visible for what reason? I wonder if they'll let my comment stay. Every politician swears an oath to protect Crown Interests before the laws of Canada. The Crown is King Charles III, founding member of the World Economic Forum. The King's government passed the Canadian Anti-Terrorism Act and created the laws that permits Crown or Crown Agents to indefinitely detain anyone in Canada on being a threat to Crown Interests on suspicion alone. Every member of parliament unanimously voted for the act and every law it created. Canada's Anti-Terrorism Act Reversed the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms giving all control over Canadian's back over to our King. Every politician who is affiliated with a political party must tow the party line and policies created to protect their party's biggest campaign contributors. Your elected representatives are your voice and vote in the legislature and parliament. They are not the King's representatives nor should they be held to any party policy, campaign contributors, or ideology. Take money and greed out of politics. Vote for Independent Candidates who only accept campaign donations limited to $100.00 per citizen of voting age. Their campaign contributions should be open and transparent. They should not accept any campaign donations from any corporations or lobby groups. They should sign this Oath of Servitude. "I (Representative's Name) do solemnly (swear or affirm) to protect the "Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms" and "Interests of the Sovereign (Constituency or Riding) of (Name of the Constituency or Riding)". Your constituency or riding should have a recall clause. With it your constituency or riding can direct your elected representative to change their vote in legislature or parliament or face immediate recall and replacement. Vote for Canadian Sovereignty! "Independent's For Canadian Independence"!

Asking char GPT; If a prime minister had money knowingly donated to his campaign from another corrupt country should they be investigated Yes, if a prime minister knowingly accepted money from a corrupt country to fund their election campaign, they should be investigated for potential violations of campaign finance laws and potential corruption. Accepting such funds could be seen as a form of bribery or an attempt to influence the election in their favor. It is important for political leaders to uphold the principles of transparency and accountability, and to ensure that their campaigns are funded in a legal and ethical manner. Any allegations of impropriety or corruption should be thoroughly investigated to maintain the integrity of the democratic process and the public's trust in their elected officials.
