    1. When do they make the same determination about their obligation & “definition” of investigating what constitutes a real domestic threat to National Security or any reasonable explanation of what Trudeau has surreptitiously done to weaken and work against all Canadian citizens & Canada’s Sovereignty?!!

    1. overspend you get more
      underspend you get less
      the only reasonable conclusion is they are OVERSPENDING
      plus they have a favor to cash in now for “staying loyal” instead of keeping the oath

  1. If the rules don’t fit what you want to do just do it anyways and say the rules are wrong. Nothing authoritarian to see here.

  2. The wisest thing every individual should think off, is creating multiple streams of income rather depending on the government to create job opportunities expecially now the country is going through economical crisis

    1. I think I’m blessed because if not I wouldn’t have met someone who is as spectacular as expert Mr Barry Silbert I think he is the best broker I ever seen

    1. The emergency act invoked in February that froze bank accounts and gave police the power to beat veterans on war memorials and have horses run over elderly indigenous women.

  3. The supreme Court should be the institution to decide if the legal threshold has been met. It doesn’t matter what this CSIS guy personally thinks. It’s all about what the act says.

  4. Just imagine someone saying this to you in another context. I know our contract was written years ago, but I needed more money, and was advised to take it to protect you from a harm that I couldn’t prove! The contract is the problem, not my actions! Can you say Gaslighting?

  5. “More resources “! Cop out answer! Can they read .. because the guidelines for enacting the war measures act are pretty clearly written

  6. “CSIS says it didn’t meet the threshold. But I disagree”. Lol so your questioning the experts ? Should be cancelled for that 🤡
