Whose names are on the CSIS list of over a dozen Canadian politicians who have received money from Beijing?
Steven Harper is at the top of the list.
@AndreHa ha ha
Quick wit
@Michael Hui
Half wit.
@Michael Hui Just an FYI, you spelled dip and the word 💩wrong.
Just took 2 weeks of bad press to get anything done
Banana Republic under Trudeau
Tiananmen Trudeau needs to go.
Chairman Trudeau does not approve of this message
explanations. Essentially, when faced with competing explanations for the same phenomenon, the simplest is likely the correct one.
I’m 100 % ready to vote ☑️ Justin in out.
Poilievre!! Next PM
I try to stay out of politics for the most part, but even so I’m impressed by the outcome of this and Mr Chongs clarity in speech, so refreshing listening to a well spoken person
All conservatives can speak well unlike Justin and his team.
@Rose PETALS They can also obfuscate using previous cases and hiding the details.
We need a thorough investigation at this point.
Agreed. However, the Conservatives’ repeated call for a public inquiry is nothing but political theatre. They know full well that security-intelligence information cannot lawfully be made public. They rely on Canadians not knowing or ignoring that so they can keep stoking the anger fire. If they really wanted the truth, they’d agree to a closed-door committee.
We need to at least know what the threats were. Mr Chong doesn’t even know what the threats were.
It would also be nice to know how he was influenced by threats he never heard.
@Lou Sialb and Pierre would finally get the security clearance he has refused to get.
@Liz Liz exactly. We don’t know anything really. We need an investigation.
makes no sense why diplomats need to be exempt from our laws to do their jobs
Are you willing to make an argument, or just a claim with ne evidence?
@Andre argument of what having an opinion that diplomats should be subject to our laws instead of diplomatic immunity to our laws
@Andre you feel they should have immunity
@Did_That_Hurt I am still waiting for your argument or evidence.
@Andre evidence of what
Brilliant speech!
Excellent speech Michael
I listened to it three times, and I still don’t know what point he is trying to make.
@Mike Schwarz
Explain it to me Mike. LOL Your density will be on display very soon.
The average citizen has virtually no legal path to stop threats.
Wow, this is new and refreshing eloquence from what we have accustomed to Traudea in the last eight years or so. Thank you Mr. Chong for such clarity among truadea’s smoke screen and murky water.
Bravo, sir.
Perfectly said.
Now arrest the Diplomat, he doesn’t have immunity now.
Are you an international relations superstar lawyer?
@Andre are you
We need to ensure this doesn’t happens again. I’d say if this ever happens from any other country, we need to revoke their diplomatic immunity AND kick them out of the country. Any threats or intimidation from a high-level official is simply unacceptable.
it’s very clear Trudeau is not on the side of canadian but more of. his personal interest – sickening
I wonder if you can demonstrate that claim? Like Chong you make claim after claim with little or no evidence.
This MP has more intelligence and integrity than the entire Liberal cabinet .
Way to go Canada 👍
If it wasn’t his family, he wouldn’t have said a thing. Fact. Well played though.
Well said
