unfortunately, Canada's been managed like a spineless jellyfish.
We can do much, much, much better, but we lack quality leadership from all parties.

So why would China try to discredit O'Toole? IMHO he was the best candidate for PM the Cons put forward in a long time. What did China stand to gain by keeping JT in office? It must be something more than just government willingness to overlook Chinese meddling.
IMHO O'Toole lost because of the Harper legacy, not because of Chinese interference. If O'Toole was LOTO now, it is true that Trudeau would be in trouble.

The problem isn't who won or lost,
The serious problem is the ease with which the CCP has influence over many things Canadian inside Canada, and our federal governments inability to seriously deal with this outside influence.

The NDP can vote for ousting Johnston, and for a public inquiry without changing their fundamental policy, because it's not a confidence motion. I guess with Johnston, I guess it's worth remembering that it was Harper who suggested him to the Queen.
I have found some things that were important enough to have rated a public inquiry in Canada-

Miramichi and Acadie-Bathurst Electoral Boundaries Commission-2004

Commission of Inquiry Into Certain allegations Respecting Business and Financial Dealings Between Karlheinz Schreiber and the Right Honourable Brian Mulroney-2008-2010

Interesting but not relevant to the point.
The issue is not whether there is an actual conflict of interest, rather whether an apparent conflict would be perceived to exist by a reasonable person who is reasonably well informed.
A well informed person would be able to find multiple occasions documenting JT or DJ referring to the other as a friend and recounting time spent together, along with pictures of them hugging each other. Add in the participation in the Trudeau foundation with its donation problem and his history of close dealings with China, would a reasonable person start to wonder?

This is great, the special rapporteur is so "special", that he is a walking crises. Therefore, the taxpayer needs to hire a crises management firm to hold his hand.

I think JY would have been wise to go the retired Supreme Court justice route since SC guys (and gals) are so highly respected and viewed as entirely independent.

Unfortunately not. Although I do hear little voices saying she's as religious as Trump and is just using the Xtians.

Does she have a favorite Bible verse... preferably a real one, maybe even one from the New Testament?

Probably has a stack of them. She can talk the talk.
