Paul Wells: There is a notion, apparently widespread, in the political alumni club that on some key issues we don't actually have a prime minister.

considering how Canada could pick up the pieces. Rock and Marchi were ministers, of perhaps not equal prominence, in Jean Chrétien’s Liberal governments 20-odd years ago. Their advice is strikingly similar to Mulroney’s:

In our view, this task should not be left to the PMO, to PCO, or to senior officials. It need not be farmed out to experts outside government. We suggest that it be assigned to an all-party Parliamentary committee, of both the House of Commons and the Senate, created for the purpose. This is a lot of people who used to hold fancy titles who find themselves agreeing—well, on what? Either that there’s a power vacuum at the top of Canada’s government, or that there isn’t a vacuum but that a vacuum might be better than what we do have.

no we have an ethics / law violating mentally ill crook.

Justin Trudeau has zero credibility on everything except surfing techniques and sand castles. The WE $900m fund backtrack is just the latest indication a few days after the UN Security Council failure. He should resign becauseits2020. cdnpoli

5/ I propose to make it clear to CCP that if MichaelKovrig & MichaelSpavor are not IMMEDIATELY released, Meng will be extradited to the US and dropped at the US border. And she will have her CCP bosses to thank for leaving her mansion behind & losing Canadian legal privileges…

4/ However, if China bullies Canada and takes hostages – all the Canadian privileges can be taken away from Meng in a heartbeat, too. And such response will be DIRECTLY linked to CCP’s actions. The solution: Meng could be sent to the US without any further judicial reviews!

3/ It’s only because of such privilege, Meng stays at her $2MM+ mansion instead of a federal prison! She comfortably awaits court decisions & it may take years to reach the verdict - while she sips on her cappuccinos. Perhaps, based on courts' decision, she will even be set free?

2/ The THIRD option is all about putting an IMMEDIATE PRESSURE on China Communist Party (CCP) that is DIRECTLY linked to Meng! Both Meng & CCP need to get a clear message that benefiting from the Canadian legal system is a PRIVILEGE – providing CCP respects our laws...

1/ It is not clear to me why the prevailing notion is focused on only TWO possibilities: swap the prisoners and cave in to China’s political blackmail, or - continue the extradition process as is, and object to CCP's extortion. Well, IMHO there is a THIRD option, too...

Hearing from all these names from the past (MPs and party operatives of all stripes) really makes me wish we had politicians of substance like we used to. This HOC is a joke, right up to the top and especially the PMO . cdnpoli cdnmedia

Unfortunately...we have a prime minister in NAME ONLY!!!

Trudeau is the shiny hood ornament on the government limo. Always out front, the first thing you see, pleasing to the eye, helpful in identifying the brand, but does not contribute much to the actual operation of the vehicle.

...China message. From my point of view, we have a sorry state of an old boys' club who would dare to publicly castigate the current PM during a very critical time and over a very critical issue in Canada's history. Let me state clearly that your words are not wanted or valued.

Well, I guess those of us who disagree can start to reminisce about the 'political alumni club'. Shall we start with Brian Mulroney? One has to wonder if you're not a member of that 'club': that club of old white men, who feel insulted that the PM does not agree with their...

Canada would be a freaking disaster if our Prime Minister acted like Trump or the current opposition proud to be Canadian and happy that we have a caring and compassionate leader. By the way i am a life long Ndp supporter.

That's because Trudeau is soooooooo far out of their league.

Justin Ling: Psychiatric teams, not the police, should be responding to mental-health callsJustin Ling: Psychiatric teams, not the police, should be responding to mental\u002Dhealth calls ...and what if they're armed? with a gun or knife? I don't think a mental health worker will deal with that effectively. Same Justin Ling that thought it was wrong to close borders during the pandemic? Would all the psychiatrists who are willing to go unarmed into unpredictable situations where weapons and violence may be involved raise their hands please?
