Demand for Trudeau to testify regarding WE...but how will the Conservatives get Trudeau out of his cabin?

Is this the same conspiracy that brought down Moreau.

Its high time.

Nonsense! This whole WE “scandal” is just another manufactured crisis from the Tory idiotverse! Why feed it!

Oh give it up already! Who gives a f..k! We are in a pandemic. Sick of Conservatives banging on about WE.

He already testified and it is futile to keep asking the same questions over and over again. You have enough testimony and documents for the committee to make up it's mind, so why don't they just do their job?

Yes, it’s the least he could do. He is superb at not answering questions, as we see at every single one of his press conferences. Make him testify under oath.

globepolitics Tell the Conservatives to ask nicely. There's no call to be rude.

Call an election and shut the ** up...

Terrible prime minister

Keep barking little dogs.

FFS enough already!

You bet he should. Corrupt MF.

The primary role of an Opposition party is to hold the Government to account by demanding transparency. WE Charity deal is at least another Trudeau ethics violation and at worst, a Liberal corruption scandal.

And I demand that Conservatives stand up for climate change, transgender children, Indigenous rights, and Black Lives Matter. But you go with some dumb ass faux scandal. Far more important.

“Demand”?...?

It used to be the media would be curious about things like this

A real conservative forget about a bankrupt charity and concentrate on figuring out how to support businesses and people while reigning in to the pandemic spending. Please show me a real conservative of the Clark, Wilson, Charest era.

Nobody cares what extremist “conservatives” want

acoyne Average Canadian: he didn't recuse himself? That was dumb. Conservative Party: He could have been funneling billions to North Maralago for years. We need to investigate his financial ties...no, not our financial ties to PB, just the Liberals. And under the bus WE goes.
