Scheer vows to close asylum ‘loophole’, unveils immigration plan at Roxham Road crossing | Globalnews.ca globalnews.ca/news/6010451/s… #cdnpoli #Elxn43
So I was at this announcement and a few things: unclear how Scheer can renegotiate safe third country if the US is not interested. He didn't answer how he would accomplish this or what he could offer the US to encourage Trump to stop a system that has worked for the US
You could make the entire border a regular crossing, but experts say that would cause massive problems and complications. Definitely not enough border guards being added in his plan for that to be possible (a defended border) #cdnpoli #Elxn43

Lots of speculation about who was around Mr Trudeau security wise last night. It was RCMP ERT with one Toronto ETF member working with the team. They can do close protection when required. They’re always around but you very rarely see them in the protection box #cdnpoli #elxn43
lots of folks see green and assume JTF2 - their uniforms when they actually wear them look quite different and they do protection overseas not in Canada. ERT has plenty of vets serving but are not military, they’re highly trained tactical police officers #cdnpoli #Elxn43
I was confused by the button up shirts and logos on the uniforms at first - different from what I’ve seen before. Multiple security sources say they are ERT. There is a national program crest but also divisional ERT crests. That’s the O Division ERT crest #cdnpoli #elxn43

Just off the phone w senior military leadership on the military healthcare reimbursement story. They confirm our story last night is accurate. They provided some solid answers on how all of this unfolded. Exclusive on @GlobalNational tonight #cdnpoli #CAF
@GlobalNational Military acknowledges they published new rate schedule without consultation and are in consultation now. Say they realize they did "too much, too fast" and that new rate chart was too low (provincial sources have said below cost of care) #cdnpoli #CAF
@GlobalNational Military was planning to pay the same amount the federal government is billed for refugees #cdnpoli #CAF

1. Andrew Scheer is unfit to be Prime Minister. He has repeatedly lied about his opponents, their policies & his background. He has engaged in underhanded tactics, misled Canadians, insulted us without apology & tolerated racists and homophobes within his party. #elxn43 #cdnpoli
2. Scheer’s litany of lies include saying:
✖️The Canada Food Guide didn’t have consultation or science behind it, when it does.
✖️The CPP is a tax when it is deferred compensation for retirement. globalnews.ca/news/3967859/r…
3. Scheer lies cont’d with him or CPC saying:
✖️The LPC govt took veterans to court when it did not.

What's wrong with these people? They're literally starting to resemble the Inner Party in Orwell's 1984: Liberal & NDP members of Commons' justice committee vote to scrub Conservative MP's 'hurtful' remarks to Muslim witness from official record cbc.ca/news/politics/… #cdnpoli
Then they decided not to televise the committee appearances of free speech advocates Mark Steyn, John Robson and Lindsay Shepherd on Tuesday, and only record the audio.
Almost as appalling is that because Andrew Scheer removed Tory MP Michael Cooper from the committee for defending conservatives from the allegation that what they write leads to terrorist attacks on Muslims, the Conservatives are hamstrung in opposing this nonsense.

Here's why Tory MP Michael Cooper should be ashamed of himself.

A primer on systemic racism for white people (and everyone else).

cbc.ca/news/politics/…

#cdnpoli #race #racism #terrorism

1/
The parliamentary committee discussing online hate invited a witness to speak. The dynamics of the relationship is necessary for context. The witness came with vulnerability, representing a marginalized people group, to discuss hate & racism.

/2
The witness connected dots btwn online conservative commentators & the NZ terrorist shooter, citing the former as a source that radicalized the latter.

Cooper vehemently opposed the "link [btwn] conservatism with violent extremist attacks."

Here's why he's right and wrong.

While folding review of the CBSA into the existing RCMP civilian watchdog may be effective, the lack of consultation and details is troubling. And the likelihood of this being passed before the fall election seems close to nil. cbc.ca/news/politics/… #cdnpoli
As per @Safety_Canada backgrounder, new body will be called the "Public Complaints and Review Commission" & will replace the @rcmpgrcpolice Civilian Review and Complaints Commission. Full legislation still not up online, tho. canada.ca/en/public-safe… #cdnpoli
@Safety_Canada @rcmpgrcpolice And here, finally, is the full legislation - bill #C98 - that would create the Public Complaints and Review Commission (PCRC). Mostly builds on the existing RCMP review body, the CCRC.

The new National Security and Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarian's first annual report will be released publicly tomorrow, with a particular focus on "the shadowy business of military intelligence" cbc.ca/news/politics/… #cdnpoli
Also of particular interest will be the other issue they are studying: how the Government of Canada establishes national intelligence priorities. There have been very public criticisms of this process in the past two years... 2/7 #cdnpoli
One being the shuttering of the desk studying right-wing extremism/white supremacist groups before the murder of 6 Muslim men at the Centre Culturel Islamique de Québec, and to what degree has CSIS focused on this issue since 2017. 3/7 #cdnpoli
