Oh no, they closed a loophole for rich people to avoid taxes… anyway…

Yeah you’ve got a point there the NDP have seemed to be both consistent and concerned about the allegations which is a plus for them.

I don’t really think every party sucks, I think the problems stem from the current system being busted.

I don’t have the answer but something where all parties work together repenting the Canadians who voted for them instead of chasing elections and short sighted/term goals might be a step in the right direction.

Yeah I agree with what you’ve said but we also deserve to live in a society where corruption hasn’t become legalized through lobbying and where politicians are incentivized to sabotage meaningful progress for their personal gains, but here we are. You can wish in one hand and shit in the other and see which fills up first.

Making a political and public spectacle of this is clearly for political gain. They all know the names cannot legally be released at this time and the reason they are doing this to piss people off to get more votes in the next election, and it’s working.

I agree they are a train wreck when it comes to political interference, and that is alarming, but if you think any other ruling government wouldn’t be doing the same shit or worse then we don’t live in the same world.

I’m not condoning anything they’re doing, but I think that if the opposition gave a shit as much as they claim to, they would obtain the the security clearance they have been offered and get the names and push for criminal investigations. They have intentionally not done that so they can continue to weaponize this for their own gain. That is why I wish they would just stfu about this already and do something.

The RCMP is not commenting on whether they are investigating or not, as someone else pointed out there are likely things going on that will come to light later, but yeah, this whole thing is stupid.

If the report concluded that they wittingly aided foreign participants to interfere with Canadian politics they should be held accountable.

With that being said, I really don’t give a shit if they reveal the names or not though until they actually make arrests. They are turning this into a spectacle to further their own goals and it’s exhausting.

They literally cannot. I found this out through reading a different article.

“The report comes from the National Security and Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarians, known as NSICOP, which is made up of MPs and senators from all parties. 

If any member of the committee were to disclose publicly what they know, they could face years in prison.”

Thats literally it. And don’t forget how much they’ll add this to the list of their accolades that they boast about at every opportunity.

I agree that parents should be teaching their kids to use technology responsibly. With that being said, a shocking number of parents have no idea how to use technology in a safe or responsible manner.

In fact, I’d say that it’s likely that majority of smartphone users are not tech savvy enough to even recognize the risks of use themselves never mind how to be safe online. Banning the use of these devices is just sweeping the problem under the rug and setting up future generations for failure.

I don’t have an answer to the problem but I don’t think just banning them is helpful. They do need to invest more into future generations instead of coming up with excuses to cut funding and promote private education, etc…

Teachers get the shitty end of the stick, but seriously, if they can’t get kids engaged then they need to go back to the drawing board on the strategy. They need to teach them relevant subjects that are going to help them be successful in life and able to function as productive members of society and do it in a manner that is fun, interesting and inspires and promotes curiosity and creativity.

They would rather sweep the problem under the rug rather than teaching kids about responsible and safe use of technology etc… it’s far easier and less costly.
