taken from #2TierOtoole

1) Trudeau rejected JWR's nomination of an inexperienced conservative as chief justice who wanted to roll back our Charter Rights:

2) Jody's father in law, John Raybould is one of the founders of the Fraser Institute:





On the other hand, if any of your many posts on DU mention:

1) How Democracy Watch is suing the Integrity Commissioner For Letting Conservative Party-Connected Lobbyists Lobby the Ford Cabinet Unethically. Many of whom are in senior PC positions while continuing to lobby Ford Cabinet on long-term care:

2) Or how Global reporter Mercedes Stephenson's husband Dan Mader worked for Erin O'Toole in his leadership campaign:

3) Or how The Columnist Who Covers Doug Ford for the Toronto Sun Lives with Doug Ford’s Press Secretary:

4) Or how Harper lackey, former road-construction-firm-partner-turned-transport minister Chuck Strahl, attacked VIA Rail's meager funding in 2012,
after which VIA "mysteriously" cuts routes stranding thousands of travelers & commuters despite being considered a remote essential service:

5) Or if they mention any of the other conflicts of interest by the CONs too numerous too list, then we can talk.

Otherwise, welcome to my ignore list.

There's just one thing you need to remember, "Pete" True Dough Sep 2021 #22
Yes I agree, anyone is better than conservative. n/t Hiawatha Pete Sep 2021 #24
We can agree to that much, almost True Dough Sep 2021 #25

I thought DU had a policy against flaming democratic/liberal figures Hiawatha Pete Sep 2021 #14
The Democratic Party stops at the 49th parallel- doesn't exist in Canada Fiendish Thingy Sep 2021 #15
As I mentioned to "True Dough" I have no interest in parroted talking points from #2TierOtoole Hiawatha Pete Sep 2021 #18
Indeed. The Liberals aren't the only party in Canada with ethical and corruption issues. Nt Fiendish Thingy Sep 2021 #20
Actually there's nothing wrong with the Liberal Party at all Hiawatha Pete Sep 2021 #23
Finally, if NDP supporters are wondering why Trudeau called an election, Hiawatha Pete Sep 2021 #19
Yeah, we mailed our ballots in too, although our polling place has apparently been quite busy Fiendish Thingy Sep 2021 #21
