Here's one thing I noticed today -- because Trudeau has Covid and has to appear on video in the Commons, he doesn't get interrupted by hecklers as much, and he can actually make his points without interruption. So, silver lining...Whoever this “someone” was… https://t.co/DD07Eluflj pic.twitter.com/JADr2lqewN

While in isolation for his COVID diagnosis, the prime minister pledged to appear virtually, and all of the other leaders were present for a change. Candice Bergen led off, script in front of her, and she went on a paean about telling the truth—which is rich coming from her—and demanded that the prime minister have Marco Mendicino step away from his job. Justin Trudeau, by video, read a list of people who stated at the time of the occupation that their powers had been exhausted, which is why they invoked the Emergencies Act. Bergen outright demanded Mendicino’s resignation, and Trudeau reminded her police should not be able to grant themselves emergency powers, which is why government invoked the Act to give them powers that he listed. Bergen again demanded Mendicino resign, and Trudeau said that this was about the Conservatives trying to hope people forgot their support for the occupation.

Throughout the (#FreedomConvoy) events of Jan & Feb, CSIS remained engaged with RCMP & law enforcement.

"Indeed CSIS is but one among the various federal departments & agencies, who's collective advice ultimately informed the decision by the GIC to invoke the Emergencies act". pic.twitter.com/JQW4hf3vk6
MSM is running interference for the cons again by memory-holing Doug's inaction and MAGA Bergen's wanting to "make it the PM's problem." They're so desperate for the cons to "like" them that they do just that. Scrimshaw today is once more on target:https://t.co/p8rqt5xe8h

It wouldn’t be June if the opposition didn’t demand ministerial resignations. #QP
