The document the MP at the centre of an expense scandal doesn't want you to seeSenior Liberal MP Terry Stephens will ask the Supreme Court to suppress the address he used to nominate for election, despite a ruling that found he was likely not living there at the time. No surprises. The whole system from local to federal government is now based on secrecy and deceit, not openness and transparency.

Justin Trudeau's Liberal Party in the lead as votes counted for Canadian electionCanada's ruling Liberal Party led by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is set to form the next government, public broadcaster CBC News projects, after a tight election race. 'BREAKING' TRUMP calls for a recount as he still believes that a win here could turn his election loss around Significant LIBERAL gerrymander in effect. The % vote of 31.9% supports a seat count of 107. However, t/LIBERALS have ended up w/157 seats whilst t/CONSERVATIVES at 34.2% have secured 121 seats. Last time round (2029), w/33.1% t/LIBS secured t/same 157 seats despite a -1.2% swing Amazing what happens when you have laws that 'prohibit the broadcasting of false or misleading news'. English speaking conservatives are now completely dependent on biased right-wing media & social media lie-campaigns.
