People who believe Dong did what was alleged are pointing to this as further evidence, certainly the title makes it appear so
Others will point to this story as the opposite, certainly the facts that no transcript or audio was provided to media is hard to explain.
I’m back in #Ottawa after more than a week & while I’m still giving far fewer f*cks than normal, I can’t ignore what’s going on forever
1/ I’ve never seen so much ink spilled (digital or otherwise) over a fabricated crisis that stemmed from fabricated differences among Canadians
Let’s recall that this #TruckersConvoy started because there were reports of empty shelves caused by #vaccinemandates at the border
That was clearly a deliberate fabrication, border wait times remained normal across Canada during that time
Let me get my early take on the first #Elxn44 official debate, in order of performance
@theJagmeetSingh did not deliver on the promise of the TVA debate, his performance was too safe, he went back to talking points instead of the honest conversational style I expected
Next up @AnnamiePaul , I thought this was an opportunity for her to make gains, she squandered it by failing to even acknowledge the divides on foreign policy that plague her party, that was disingenuous #Elxn44

Based on what I’m seeing in early numbers tonight, the @peoplespca is definitely starting to narrow any path @erinotoole has to becoming PM in #elxn44
To be clear, the debate commission had no way of knowing that the @CPC_HQ policies would alienate so many right leaning voters, but today, it’s hard for me to understand why @MaximeBernier isn’t on stage for this #elxn44 debate

Your #Elxn44 forecast for today, please enjoy the first of two leaders debates tonight

Yesterday, I saw something on the #olpldr stream that really solidified for me the problem with a lot of the negativity we’ve seen and heard of late
I don’t want to amplify the message by referencing it, but someone indirectly attacked one of the candidates for something that is beyond their control, their gender #olpldr#onpoli

These early #cpcldr polls of the general population do tell us a bit about what candidates might be viable and which are unlikely to compete, but I need to make a point about the “winability” measure that most are attempting to measure
An overwhelming approval or favourability in AB,BC &/or SK could make it appear one candidate has an advantage, while trailing among the remaining 2/3rds of the ridings in #cpcldr
Here’s my take on the recording, I haven’t had a chance to read all the submissions yet
The recording of this call is both worse & better than the testimony told us, Wernick was frustrated at times but professional, JWR seemed stressed at first, a bit scripted later
