It will be interesting to see where this will land btw:

https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/emergencies-act-federal-court-1.7091891

A federal judge ruled that the invocation of the Emergencies Act was unreasonable - but of course the retired judge leading the official inquiry had previously cautiously declared that the situation did meet the Act's requirements. The government will challenge the new ruling so I suppose this will go up until the Supreme Court, and it will still take a while before there's a real outcome. But if the invocation was indeed unjustified, it should probably have consequences for the sitting government.

CBC doing their part, but there has to be a lot more from the other media. Poilièvre needs to answer serious questions as this looks to be a serious and legitimate case of foreign interference into Canadian politics.


Those IDU fecks, man.

Well, it was a long time coming. Pierre Poilièvre has been kicked out of the House of Commons for unparliamentary behavior today, but I regret that Greg Fergus - the Speaker did not lay down the law a lot earlier. If John Bercow was our Speaker, I'm sure he would have tore Poilièvre a new one with something near this classic.

John Bercow said:
Behave like an adult. And if you can't, if it's beyond you, leave the chamber, get out, we'll manage without you.
However, the worst in all of this is that Poilièvre's supporters will view this as a new normal when it should not and never be so. How do you expect any form of respect towards politicians now?

Also I don't need to say that Poilièvre has been rightfully called out for hanging out with white/anti-LGBTQ supremacists from Diagolon and then coming out seemingly stoned out of those people's trailer just a few days ago. He has refused to apologize for such poor judgment.
