Any Shocking News?

Just watched a bit of it. I don’t think Trudough caught the hypocrisy of the liberals forcibly removing a protester while he spews platitudes about having room for differences of opinion.
The whole channel shift attempt happening there is also laughable. Room full of senior cabinet ministers trying to divert away from the massive scandal in play. Even the French placards in the crowd are for Quebec not that MP’s riding.

I tried to watch the entire thing but McKenna's shrill voice sounds like nails running down a chalkboard.

Yeah, I skipped over Barbie’s part.

Butts has started to testify.

[Bluebulldog]

He refused to be sworn in.....

Definition of testify
intransitive verb

1 : to make a solemn declaration under oath for the purpose of establishing a fact (as in a court)

So..basically folks, I'm going to answer some questions, with non-facts, and let you sort out what are lies and what aren't.....

.....this was the Liberals strategy? Hoping that it would be omitted? Hoping that the public wouldn't be aware that he wasn't sworn in?

The public won't be aware if the media doesnt report it? And from what I'm seeing so far, they havent? The dog n pony show continues!

What sends up red flags for me is that Butts says neither he nor others who work in the PMO aren't lawyers yet insisted an accomplished lawyer, acting in the highest legal position in the country, needs an outside opinion when the AG and the AG staff had come up with an answer they did not like.

Here's exactly how things went.

Butts asked if he would swear in voluntarily. Butts refused.

( In Parliament, statements given are regarded as being under oath regardless. However, given the optics, he should have sworn in. The penalty for lying is being held in contempt of Parliament, whereas if lying under oath, he can be charged with perjury).

Conservatives table motion to compel Butts to swear under oath......defeated by Liberal majority government.

If no one has anything to hide....why exclude himself from swearing in? Why would the Liberal MPs not support a motion to ensure truth?

Because there is no truth to be ensured !! Better question is why did he resign, if he did no wrong ?? I figured he would throw himself on his sword to protect the village idiot !! Instead, it would appear he is just throwing JWR under the bus!!!
