Canadian's were content to sit still after watching David Lametti arrogantly tell them at the Rouleau EA inquiry that because of bogus "client solicitor privilege" he wouldn't divulge what he told the government. Seems to me Canadian's pay his wages and we are the "client."

Our elite politicians. There's a true need for a forensic investigation from start to finish.
Telford's stonewalling will be very useful in convincing Canadian's that there is no alternative to a Public Inquiry to get the answers that they are entitled to.

The problem is that they need to be careful what information is made public when it comes to CSIS and intelligence gathering because while you and others don't care about the people who gathered that information matters and the information could be used to attack Canada. So if they do a public inquiry then the people who have access to the information need to be trusted and much of it likely can't be made public to you and me. CSIS didn't even want people to know they existed for a long time because of the sensitive nature of the work they do.

I can't refuse to answer questions at work then why can they? I am not being called upon for such serious matters. Why are we allowing this ? Why are there no criminal charges? Why no suspensions without pay until the investigation is completed? Why all these secrets if one has done nothing wrong there is nothing to be afraid of?

Public inquiry Into Alberta's premier. She's the one being investigated for a real crime. All the federal Conservatives have done is stir racism and hatred.
Telford refers to potential interference. Is she so naive? She is fully involved based on her testimony here.
She just signed her own warrant 😎
Waste of time and money.

Just want them to answer 1 question. When did our PM know about this? I don't think that is something that is about national security.
in typical liberal fashion, no questions were answered
At the end of the day, I think it's a good thing to give a teachable moment for Canadians to actually understand how our government works and the inquiry will provide trust. Now does that mean that the next one will abide by and have inquiries? We don't know." It’s been the longtime strategy of those in power to keep people fighting each other to stall progress".Erin Brockovich said that for Americans, for appearance's sake we don't want to become that.
Accusations, politicians always throw "allegations" around but these little public plays for the people benefits nothing. For either side. At least not on an average joe level. For these politicians its creates emotional voters. Voters who arent seeing the big picture. Doesnt matter which one you vote for, theyre all buddies, even the ones thatre being accused of "interefering". You think they just hang out at thier world leader meetings? Think WWE wrestling but each wrestler is a country instead. Theres alliances and rivalries and fights and big grandstanding speechs but at the end of the day, theyre all mostly friends faking it for the views and to get paid.
Why are they wasting time on this as she's not gonna give up her daddy... HELLO!?!?!? And why doesn't anyone just push the question that everyone who isn't a politician is thinking... WHO GOT THE MONEY?
Learned nothing new.....hmmm
