After reviewing all the intelligence in context and interviewing all the key people involved, our former Governor General, the Right Hon. David Johnston (appointed by Stephen Harper) has determined that there was no malfeasance or neglect…
…on the part of the Government including Ministers and the PM.
He also concludes that the supposed CSIS leaks in media reports have unfortunately “misconstrued” bits of intelligence taken out of context.
He offers to have his conclusions verified by:
1. MPs from all parties on NSICOP; 2. National security experts on NSIRA; 3. All official Party Leaders;
NSICOP and NSIRA members already have the enhanced top security clearance to view the intelligence/evidence in the Annex to his report that he used to make conclusions.
Party leaders would have to go through the additional screening.
Poilievre refuses to review and assess the evidence in order to formulate criticism. He is not interested in working constructively to protect Canada’s democracy.
Knowing the truth would inhibit his ability to mischaracterize the situation and push his false narrative for political gain. Poilievre needs to ‘wake up’ and put Canada’s democracy ahead of his partisan interests! #cdnpoli

To-date, not one media story on all the things our gov’t has done to combat Foreign Election Interference. And I’m NOT saying that to imply we aren’t committed to improving our response to the evolving threat, but lets get some facts straight! #cdnpoli
Our government has in fact done the following since 2015:
✅Set-up the Critical Election Incident Public Protocol (CEIPP)
✅Set-up the Security and Intelligence Threats to Elections (SITE) Task Force
✅Implemented the four pillar Plan to Protect Canadian Democracy
✅Passed Bill C-59 - giving CSIS and CSE the ability to engage in threat reduction measures
✅Passed Bill C-76 - prohibiting foreign advertising
✅Worked with G7 partners to set-up the Rapid Response Mechanism (RRM)
So I’ve compiled some IMPORTANT INFORMATION about the risks of a THIRD WAVE below in an attempt to help inform the public based on my research: (Please read this thread)
MORE TRANSMISSIBLE - New variants of COVID-19 have been reported in our communities and 40%+ transmissible. “It does cause more significant outbreaks," Dr. Isaac Bogoch, an infectious diseases specialist cp24.com/mobile/news/mo…
SPREAD WITH LITTLE TO NO SYMPTOMS - New observational studies show that as much as 50% of cases are transmitted through asymptomatic or presymptomatic spread. “About 50% of transmissions are thought to occur from asymptomatic or presymptomatic persons.” jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/…
SO JUST A QUICK RECAP OF CONSERVATIVES MISINFORMATION FROM LAST WEEK (February 15-19, 2021)
1)MP Michelle Rempel Garner claimed that Canada had no mRNA vaccines when we have 2 of them, both of which are over 90% effective.
2)MP Michelle Rempel Garner claimed that the CanSINO deal delayed other vaccine contracts and supply, and implied that Minister Anand was responsible for the deaths of Canadians. This is false and has been debunked completely by the Vaccine Task Force.
3)MP Pierre Poilievre claims that the PM will keep the country locked down “forever.” The implementation and lifting of lockdowns are decisions made entirely by provinces and territories.
The level of misinformation and political rhetoric circulating online and in the media is deeply concerning. I want to reassure Canadians of our plan and so I’m posting the facts on Canada’s two prong strategy for vaccine supply. Inform yourself!! #VaxFacts#onpoli#cdnpoli
Short Term Strategy - Due to limited domestic capacity for vaccine production in Canada, we knew we needed to move quickly to secure vaccines from the most promising candidates (out of over 200 worldwide). Our diverse portfolio is composed of mostly international suppliers!
Medium Term Strategy - We knew that rebuilding 🇨🇦‘s domestic bio manufacturing capacity was going to require expert advice, a rigorous process, significant and strategic investment in Canadian companies, and time to build facilities. ISED, NRC and Health 🇨🇦 have been hard at work
