    ... ... I'm not a fan of the conservatives' values nor their tactics, but this is serious enough that Canadians should all be outraged and Trudeau needs to be sent packing for his knowing...

    The report by the the National Security and Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarians (NSICOP) cites "particularly concerning examples of behaviour by a few parliamentarians", including "knowingly or through willful blindness" accepting funds or benefits from foreign governments.

    ...

    The report concedes, however, that its conclusions are "unlikely to lead to criminal charges" despite it describing behaviour that may have been illegal.

    ...

    It also takes aim at Mr Trudeau's Liberal government for being aware of these issues since at least 2018 and gathering intelligence but failing to "implement an effective response".

    I'm not a fan of the conservatives' values nor their tactics, but this is serious enough that Canadians should all be outraged and Trudeau needs to be sent packing for his knowing incompetence if not downright aid to interfering foreign hostile States. (We have a minority third party and Im looking forward to their response)

    Canadians are going to be suffering the consequences for decades to come. This super sucks.

      Just as the prime minister isn't taking it seriously enough, I feel like the complacent at best Canadian public perpetually undervalues this sort of thing.
