Party leaders considering naming MPs in foreign meddling

Panel discussion

The deputy PM and the MP that signed on to the inquiry have an NDA to gag them but any other sitting member in the house could read out the names in the house without legal issues.

I am all for the names being released and we cauterize this as fast as possible even if some innocents are issued a scarlet letter. In order to clear the air in the house this is required.

Using a flaw in the system does not make it ethical. It's still assumed guilt without an investigation or trial.

Green Leader Elizabeth May says there's no list of disloyal MPs in unredacted NSICOP report

This is not what was told when this became public. We were told there was a spectrum of a rouges gallery of useful idiots to outright collision.



Case in point. Going the judicial route here is not the appropriate remedy and MPs need to be reminded of the extreme risk it is to take aid from foreign benefactors in a political environment that seems to have very few norms left. I am all for ANY named members being sacked regardless of intent to serve as a warning to the rest in order to restore integrity to the house of commons.

Foreign Interference In Canada - An Honest Breakdown

Names of nations were redacted. Why? They are not people and have not be assigned rights under the charter.

I see no other option that to release the names as long as PP refuses to be read in.

Elizabeth May shares her findings of NSICOP foreign interference report

Is the point of the foreign interference report getting lost in the noise?

^^ this is getting to the point that Mary Simon needs to hit the panic button and force a remedy on the house.

NDP’s Jagmeet Singh says report shows ‘a number of MPs’ have helped foreign states

Where there is smoke...

...there are record breaking forest fires.

Poilievre won't read NSICOP report. Mulcair explains why

The NDP called that bluff and are not pulling any of their MP's. There are TWO parties that have rats in their nests and clearly the libs have more problems than the cons of this. The NDP are letting the libs twists in the wind because they can and this is entirely in the court of the libs to clean this mess up fast or go down in flames.

Casting doubt on Parliament does nothing for any party that does it. There is no upside. Any accusations made by one party on another will only reflect badly on the first party when it comes out that they too had someone loyal to 'the motherland' and betray a confidence. And all parliamentarians can share in that shame.

Refer charges to the RCMP, and cut the guilty people out of running again. Casting shade on the system diminishes Canadians trust in the whole system, not just one party.

Foreign interference: to be alarmed, or not to be alarmed?

PM has been sitting on this for months and the opposition is taking point. This makes zero sense, where is the coherent policy beyond craven lust for power? Currently this is a pissing contest between PP and JT and Canadians are sick of both of them. Throwing this to the RCMP is not going to make this go away and neither is another committee. JT has not staked out his position and is just as consistent as PP position on climate change in that they want to ignore it and hope it goes away.
