Jan 28-Feb 14: Ottawa paralyzed. Police do nothing. Feb 14: Federal emergency declaration. Feb 18-20: Police move in. Blockades cleared. Feb 23: Emergency declaration lifted. In sum: Emergency declaration restores order, is lifted soon after. Outrage!

Embarrassing doesn't even begin to describe it. Yes, people sometimes need to let off steam. No, there's no evidence he was drunk. But come on -- he's the Prime Minister, in a public place, on the eve of the Queen's funeral. And this is how he behaves?

Wholly unprovoked attack. Pure war of aggression on a peaceful democratic state. Annexation of a country of 40 million people by force, at the personal whim of a dictator. Nothing like it in Europe for 80 years.

In case the prime minister gets too enthusiastic about the mandate he has just received: at 31.8 per cent of the vote, it is the smallest for any winning party in the history of the country. Smaller even than in 2019.

In all of Canada, the PM could not have found someone who was not a) a lifelong "close" family friend, b) a previous appointee of his, c) a member of the Trudeau Foundation, or d) the chair of a foundation that received millions from the Trudeau govt

Somewhat mystified by all these takes describing the budget as โ€œprudent,โ€ โ€œrestrained,โ€ even โ€œthrifty.โ€ As a matter of objective fact, this is among the biggest-spending budgets in the history of the country. /1

โ€œI donโ€™t think we should be asking them to go home,โ€ reads an e-mail from Bergen to Erin Oโ€™Tooleโ€™s senior caucus team on Monday. "We need to turn this into the PMโ€™s problem." Interim Tory Leader advocated against asking protesters to leave Ottawa

You understand, the Finance minister of a G7 country is leaving his post in the middle of the worst economic crisis in a century because he wanted to run for Secretary General of the OECD.

It's round two for Conservatives versus journalists. CPC MP Garnett Genuis says he felt threatened after a journalist tweeted about putting down a lame horse. "I do not want to see a person who has made threats against me in the gallery," he said.

Maybe there's nothing to this. Maybe CSIS got it all wrong. But if there's any truth to it โ€” if a Liberal MP advised China to hold onto the two Michaels, for whatever reason โ€” holy hell. Suppose it's true: would he have done this on his own? Who else would have known about this?

If you were being threatened with being fired, as the climax of a months-long pressure campaign โ€” improper in itself โ€” to get you to do something you considered highly improper, ie get a friend of the government out of a criminal prosecution, you might tape a call or two, too.
