CBC News: Johnston says no to public inquiry on foreign interference
Prime Minister Trudeau said government will follow the recommendation and not call an inquiry.
David Johnston has recommended against calling a public inquiry into foreign interference in Canadian politics.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says the government will follow that recommendation. Johnston's decision comes after all opposition parties have called for an inquiry and after the government itself said it would support one — if Johnston recommended it.
"When I began this process, I thought I would come to the same conclusion — that I would recommend a public inquiry," Johnston said in a news conference Tuesday. "While it would have been an easy choice, it would not be the correct one."

WNU Editor: All polls are saying the same thing. Three-quarters of Canadians want a public inquiry on foreign interference in Canadian elections. Talk about going against the will of the people.
The opposition party has also responded .... 'A trap': Opposition rejects Trudeau's security clearance offer to access confidential annex of Johnston report (CTV News).
Bottom line.
A person who was appointed by the Prime Minister to investigate Chinese election interference wasalso a member of the Trudeau foundation that received funds from a Chinese citizen with ties to the Chinese government. This Special Rapporteur, David Johnson, should have excused himself immediately once that became public knowledge. But he choose not to.
And if there was any doubt that the fix was in, I just learned about this .... I Met with David Johnston for his Report – here’s what happened (Erin O'Toole).
Erin O'Toole was the leader of the Conservative Party who were the primary targets of the Chinese government in the last two Canadian Federal elections. But he was only interviewed by David Johnson and his team after the report and its conclusions were already submitted and being translated into French.
What a country!
Update: The new leader of the Conservative Party is showing some backbone (see video below).

I wonder how enthusiastic all the parties would be if their financial backers from the USA and Israel were under the same scrutiny. As a Canadian I support an inquiry but I don’t understand why it should be limited to a single country.
Election coups and major corruption happening in several major Western nations. This is as serious as it gets. We either clear house or - as always in history- we will lose our achievements and economic prosperity, safety and rights. We got tyrants kicking our teeth in and telling us nothing to see here
there was an attempted coup in the US Jan 6th by an unruly mob trying to overturn the election.
Lol it was funny 2 years ago, but now that the US is being brought down by enemies foreign and within few people still laugh or believe Biden won
Biden, did not win?
what evidence and data can you offer to show that Trump won? How many court cases to push that claim and every one of them tossed out.
PROVIDE YOUR PROOF OR YOU ARE DELUDED
3:50 that was neither a "coup" nor an "insurrection," it was a stupid idiotic attempt to act like jackasses. If a REAL one of those ever happens the difference will be immediately obvious.
My evidence is more truthful than your factually oriented evidence. Or is it the other way around?
"PROVIDE ME CHERRY PICKED PARTISAN RENDERINGS THAT MEET MY HIVE MIND NARRATIVE OR WE ARE VOTING YOU OUT OF OUR ECHO CHAMBER."
Give me evidence of Trump-Russia collusion and pee tapes with a touch of sippy cup scandal or YOU ARE WRONG! REeEEeeEE!!"
Child Pred Fred Lapaides/Chickens will roost in march (where are the chickens asshat?) anon cumming into his sock again and looks like a salty snail frothing in the backyard all valiant-like. Thanks neighbors kid. Trumps fault. Biden will save us. ReeEeeEee.
No evidence, no inquiry.
Howz about the 50 odd Intel officials that signed the letter that the Hunter Briben laptop was Russian interference. Turns out they've put their hands up that it was purely political to stop Trump being re-elected The CIA interfered with the US Presidential election. Do some research dear chap. Unless you live in Peking of course heh heh heh
Hunter this and then that
the issue: an attempt[t to overturn the American election Jan r6
How come so many have pled guilty and many now serving time in jail for what was done. that is proof the issue discussed here: the attempt to subvert the American election and throne Trump. That failed and (prediction) mid august this year Trump will be indicted in some three separate cases. The trials will take place a year after that.
Wow now you went full retard. You couldnt identify political persecution if your life depended on it. You cant talk about Jan6th-ism without the BLM/ANTIFA terrorist riots that caused more casualties and destruction than any event in this countrys history that wasnt military or natural disaster related. Absolutely insane, and there is almost no comparison between Jan6th-ism and the marxist riots nation wide that lasted over a year. The only reason Jan6th-ism is part of the democrat state religious faith and propaganda stream is because they needed something else....just anything to point at when anyone brings up one of the most damaging and dangerous events in US history; the democrat marxist terror riots of 2020. Entire local and even state governments nationwide were held hostage to open armed violent marxists in the tens of thousands and democrat politicians and public figures bailed them all out, and their own DA's let everyone get off scott free. Guess since the system didnt prosecute, it worked right? Where is the evidence, investigation findings, data(Lol) that anyone was guilty? Biden said that ANTIFA is just an idea, and you cant prosecute an idea right? You are deluded, stunted partisan psycho worried about jan6th-ism as if it were in any way a threat to this constitutional republic. I dont care if you want to believe it, I dont doibt for a second that you fully do, its not an objective shared reality you severely useful idiot. You cant argue with a democrat without accepting all their priors as fact before entering conversation. Otherwise nothing but whataboutism and a bunch of other uncogent and disjunctive nonsense ensues. Holy crap chickens roost anon/Child Pred Fred brain is rotting. Add some garlic. Cheers.
I have no idea what the above retard frip is all about. Suffice it to say: hard facts: hundreds of insurrectionists indicted, found guilty by juries for the Jan 6 attempt to overturn the election. Trump will be indicted Aug 15, this year, "you can take that to the bank."
All the blather above is a distracftion for reality.
924 you are a total fool.
Prosecutorial discression and a DC populated jury.
Those Jan 6 people did not have a chance. They were common men, could not afford high price attorneys. Venue was in DC , a progressive rat hole.
They plead guilty to trespassing and interfering with a government proceeding. Not sedition,conspiring or treason . The gov case was vindictive bullshit.
grow up!
900 men pleaded guilty...all had attorneys. judges were bi-partisan. they all admitted guilt. there were videos that any sane person could see. and you deny that evidence? you are too silly to argue with.
cut the name calling and face up to reality. Why do you think congress people now issued satellite phones?
Discussing reports that Meadows could be cooperating with Smith's probe, former Deputy Assistant Attorney General Harry Litman tweeted: "I'll believe it when I see it."
In September 2022, Meadows was said to have complied with a previous DoJ subpoena that resulted in his handing over the same thousands of text messages that were requested via a subpoena issued to him by the House Select Committee investigating the events leading up to the Capitol riot.
The texts showed GOP lawmakers, Fox News presenters and members of Trump's own family attempting to persuade Meadows to get the former president to tell his supporters to end the violence, something Trump failed to do for more than three hours.
Meadows also handed over to the January 6 panel a 38-page PowerPoint document that contained plans to overturn the 2020 election and declare a national emergency. Meadows' legal team said at the time the presentation was sent to him via email, but that it was not acted upon.
While Meadows was cooperating with House Select Committee's subpoena at first, he refused to comply further and didn't appear for a deposition.
The panel later recommended that Meadows be referred to the DoJ for prosecution for refusing to comply with the congressional subpoena, along with ex-deputy chief of staff Dan Scavino.
The DoJ decided not to charge Meadows or Scavino for refusing to comply with the congressional subpoena, which previously prompted speculation they had cooperated with the federal investigation.
Yea, then he wonders why people only poke fun at him and largely ignore his ignorant, narrow minded and dogmatic troll posting. Procedure is only procedural when democrats do it and they CANNOT do it wrong as we know. Always well intended and done in good faith (fucking lol). Unprecedented Partisan judicial hackery worked, and people were forced to either choose between the cudgel or the sword. Since they chose the cudgel, they are guilty because they chose the cudgel. Anyone who essentially pleads down in a scenario that is ENTIRELY PARTISAN and untenable is guilty, dont you know? Same idiot would say that since the witch sank she was innocent, but oh well. The alligator is coming for you to dipshit! Just because you are likely a couple steps after me doesnt mean that you are that much safer.
