Are these baloney allegations like those the Trudeau Liberals inflicted on Mark Norman & Jody Wilson-Raybould or is there substance to these allegations which embarrass the Trudeau Liberals like in the Justin Trudeau ethics violations, Julie Payette or Bill Morneau cases?

the Tories are the direct opposition to the party that is in power it is the literal definition of their job to question everything the party and power does.

As a Canadian,and proud of our military. I find it very difficult to hear of misconduct of our military leaders. Our troops do a great job, so should their leaders.
Well it’s time for a great schism when it come to this country’s national defence and domestic interests. Time for a new independent army and one that overshadows the current CAF numbers. Too much conformity
GUILTY
Stepping aside
Is Your admission to guilt
Sounds like when JT was caught messing around with a student… was he a teacher or TA? Was he an authority figure taking advantage?iether way JT has been untouchable from the start!
Where’s “Q” when you need him.
I wonder hypothetical. Maybe current government is going to dismantle National Denfence? Maybe a large line of social workers will replace the Corp.
