India has told Canada that it must repatriate 41 diplomats by Oct. 10, the Financial Times reported. Ties between India and Canada have become strained over Canadian suspicion that Indian government agents had a role in the June murder in Canada of Hardeep Singh Nijjar.
And our official opposition leader has no security clearance to weigh in on the issue.
If Pierre was briefed on Top Secret info he’d be forbidden from talking about the issue entirely.
What is so hard to understand about this? Oh right, you’re just gaslighting us into muzzling the opposition. Yay democracy!
So instead of having a responsible and comprehensive overview of the whole picture, he just keep to spew uncertainty and gaslight everyone instead. Great PM material /s
When the PM is directly implicated in some of the classified info, I don’t trust Trudeau not to use clearance as a way to muzzle (or jail) his critics.
The man is a narcissistic tyrant.That’s not how security clearances work.
So it’s not just Trudeau you don’t trust, but the whole justice system?
And you think Pierre will be better as he publicly undermines and erode the trust of the justice system, the SOIA which is why security clearance exists and that he will need if he becomes PM, and democracy itself with his rhetoric on social media? I’ve got bad news for us all if that kind of thinking prevails.
Pierre isn’t talking for the people, he’s talking for his own benefit. He just wants a throne like any other cronies.
Hyperbole will certainly make for a more reasoned discussion!
He’s the leader of a minority government which is far from being a tyrant.
the man is a narcissistic tyrant
Uh, have you paid attention to PP at all? 😬
i would love for you to define “tyrant”. Pretty please?
So he can talk about it while being wrong because he doesn’t have the info? Not exactly a shining example of logic here.
The role of the opposition is to scrutinize the government, not to inform the public of what is going on. Only the latter would expect “being right”. In a perfect world the government will always be “right”, so the job fundamentally comes from a “wrong” angle, using “wrongness” as a tool to force the government to explain why it is the one that is “right”. If the opposition is ever “right” then you have some serious problems on your hands.
But, let’s say you’re on the money that Old Pierre there is confused and thinks it’s his job to inform the public of what is going on, where “being right” would be an imperative. In that case he cannot talk about it either way. So, why would he bother to go through the effort of obtaining the clearance?
Oh, I geuss I should have used incorrect. Because this isn’t a moral thing, and it might confuse people who lack context.
It’s like saying that you’re intentionally not going to get a first aid ticket, so that you don’t have to help someone when they get hurt. You can just throw your hands up and walk away while yelling at all the people who do have their first aid ticket that they’re doing it wrong.
And then applying for a job as an EMT.
Angry Mulbear needs a new brain
He’s an MP, his job is in service of the country.
Woah.
Expelling 2/3rds of our diplomats is quite an escalation.
Like the murdering of a Canadian wasn’t escalation enough.
They’re embarrassed at how easily they were caught in crime.
India acting like a superpower treating Canada as a backwater satellite state of it where it can do whatever it wants irrespective of its own laws or the laws of the host country is quite concerning for everyone concerned.
Yes. It’s always disconcerting when former client states flip the script, isn’t it?
To paraphrase Norm Macdonald - the worst part wasn’t the escalation, it was the murderin’.
India is petty, in the wrong and now acting like a loose Cannon. Glad to see Canada take the high road.
Modi/India is committed to blindfolded-and-earplugged “strategy”.
Russia is now financially-functioning ONLY because of its debt to China: China is using that to gain unofficial owning of Russia.
Russia is going to be China’s vassal-state, shortly, with its oligarchs/dictator ( if he survives ) doing only what China allows them to do.
India is betting the entire survival of India on Russia provisioning it with weapons in any war against China, which is inevitable…
India is going to be gutted in the inevitable war with China, and China is going to do to India what it did to Tibet, only worse.
Churchill: “Never argue with drunks or fanatics.”
Modi’s only-Yes-men government, including the pseudo-journalism he allows ( or considering the actual-journalism he doesn’t tolerate ), has strategic consequences, that are going to cost hundreds of millions of Indian lives, in the coming decade.
WHEN a junkie won’t “get off the tracks”, and you can feel the rumbling, through the rails, of the oncoming freight-train, accept that you cannot make them know other-than what they want to know … and get away from the impending violent-destruction, so only-the-deranged get obliterated.
I’m part east Indian, and seeing the home of the Dharmic religions about to be butchered isn’t good, but … karma is karma: you earn viability, or you don’t retain viability.
Krshna was right, in the Gita: uprightness is REQUIRED.
Politicians generally reject that, but ones who only allow yes-men inferiors & “journalism” … can take entire-countries, if not regions, down with their won’t-knowing devotion.
India is nearly finished as a real country.
I don’t expect it to be independent-of-china in 2033.
