Imagine being @JoeBiden. Your son makes millions of dollars from foreign entities but does not pay taxes because that would mean disclosing that he is engaged in foreign lobbying. With the millions of dollars and no serious job, he becomes a drug addict and illegally obtains a gun. All he tells them is that he is the son of the US Vice President, and he claims that part of the money will go to the "Big Guy." He promises them access to his dad and top US officials. They hire him without any qualifications and pay him millions of dollars. Eventually, the information comes out, and the Justice Department has to investigate. The investigation drags on for five years, and eventually, they strike a deal with him to plead guilty to two misdemeanors of tax evasion so that the government would not prosecute him for illegally possessing a gun as a drug addict, a serious crime that has sent tens of thousands of Americans to prison for years. Imagine being the same father who, as a senator, drafted a draconian anti-drug law that sent tens of thousands of black people and others to prison, confiscated all their belongings, and gave a big speech boasting that the drug addicts should all be taken off the streets. Now that your son is one of them, when you're asked about his case, you say you're proud of him and he has done nothing wrong. Imagine journalists and commentators like @joenbc justifying it on television, singing your praises when their own child would have been in prison long ago for the same crimes. Imagine the people who believed in the rule of law watching the two-tiered justice system so brazenly displayed. America is in crisis. May God help us all!

A Sham Investigation: How Jagmeet Singh Saved Justin Trudeau from the Heat In a recent turn of events, a parliamentary committee voted to adjourn debate on a motion to summon David Johnston to testify on his dealings with the Trudeau Foundation. The vote, which fell along party lines, saw Liberal and New Democrat MPs coming to the rescue, effectively shielding Johnston from what could have been a pivotal moment in bringing to light some much-needed clarity in the ongoing foreign interference investigation. While it's no secret that the NDP has been a critical lifeline for Trudeau's Liberal minority government, this move is particularly revealing. It doesn't just point to the strength of this political alliance, but to the lengths these parties will go to protect their interests – even if it stands in the way of transparency and accountability. David Johnston, former governor general, is currently tasked with leading a so-called 'public hearing' into allegations of foreign interference, specifically with regard to donations made to the Trudeau Foundation. But without the powers of a public inquiry, and now without the scrutiny of a public testimony, one can't help but question the credibility of this investigation. Is it an earnest attempt to uncover the truth, or just a well-orchestrated pantomime designed to placate the public while protecting the powers that be? The vote to save Johnston from a summons isn't just an example of political maneuvering, it's a slap in the face to Canadians seeking answers. It's crucial to note that such a summons carries weight. It's not a polite invitation to a tea party. It's akin to a subpoena in the legal world - there are significant consequences for non-compliance. Yet, Liberal and NDP MPs apparently thought otherwise. NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh's role in this is particularly egregious. Singh, who has often positioned himself as a champion of transparency and the 'everyman,' is now complicit in blocking a key avenue for truth and accountability. Does his rhetoric match his actions? The evidence, in this case, suggests otherwise. Let's not forget that it was Singh who called on Johnston to step aside from his role, citing concerns of bias. Yet, when it came time to compel Johnston to testify and answer for his actions, Singh and his party were mysteriously absent from the fight. Trudeau has consistently dodged questions about the ongoing investigation, and now, with the help of his NDP allies, he seems to have successfully dodged a bullet that could have had serious implications for his administration. This is not about party politics, it's about the integrity of our democracy. It's about holding those in power accountable and ensuring that they are acting in the best interests of Canadians, not their political survival. The recent vote is more than just a disappointment, it's a stark reminder of the lengths to which those in power will go to protect their own. It's a betrayal of the public trust and a clear message to Canadians: when it comes to transparency and accountability, we're not as high on the priority list as we should be. In the end, it seems Trudeau and his 'investigation' have been saved. But at what cost? The price, it seems, is the faith Canadians have in their government's commitment to transparency, accountability, and truth. #cdnpoli

The NDP hiked taxes & fees 97 times, including the largest tax hike in Alberta history, and chased investment away resulting in average take home pay going down $6,400 and 183k Albertans out of work. Now they expect you to trust them to make life more affordable. #ableg #yyc

@PremierScottMoe You know that’s not gonna happen. He has never done what’s right, but always done what strokes his ego. We have never been closer to a dictatorship. The emergencies act vote should be a vote of confidence!
