Every accusation is a confession...
Seriously, probably meant to say gagged, and failed miserably. I still think it's a shit excuse.
As far as Pierres response, is it okay that the Liberal cabinet encouraged people to ship the opposition off to China to be prosecuted for tweeting against the Chinese government while in Canada, and does it seem like the people with the clearance havent done much to fight the active involvement by China?
You even have his replacement being linked to China which is a little suspicious, makes me what whats up with this riding:
Liberal cabinet
Stopped reading there. You know why.
For everyone else who doesn't. They're lying through their teeth. It was a random MP. Not the Liberal cabinet.
Ah sorry you're right, I wrote this quickly.
But he was also allowed to retain his seat without objection.
At this point, this clip is the entirety of the debate that I've seen, but I will say two things about this general issue.
If your argument is that his opponents are doing shitty things so it's okay if he does shitty things, take a look through history or south of our border to see how that ends up. And I've never seen Pierre give a real alternative to any issue he's identified, whether those issues are real or not. The few stances he's taken are usually tired conservative agendas that have failed every time they've been tried, yet he drags their mummified remains onto the stage, dusts them off, and pretends that it's a novel idea that will solve the issue it's targeted at with a single step. Mandatory minimum sentencing? This is a primarily punitive measure that ignores the main issues with our prison system, that it is overloaded by people who have little hope for a better future and few options besides crime for anything but the most meager of existences. But sure, longer sentences will fix that. No? Well, at least it's something that can happen in one term. And that's representative of every 'idea' he puts forward. An alternative whose only merit is the thinnest veneer of emotional relief to charged topics and not enough depth or nuance to actually address the problem, let alone solve it.
