From what I've seen, they've been spreading rumors by using their "experiences" in provincial, municipal and even party elections. You know, shit Elections Canada has no control over.

A NP editorial on how the Free Meng event is hypocritical considering the two Michaels even if they got another bout of consular access.

I wish we hadn’t arrested Meng in the first place, because it’s ridiculous to extradite her to the US for not complying with a treaty that the US had already openly denounced and broken left, right, and center. But we can’t release her now without looking like we can be extorted.

I’m hearing word of a sort of a deal is being made by the DOJ in DC for Meng to get away from further arrest if she coughs up to the charges.

Reposting from the Military thread. This post is being used to criticize China considering the Michaels.

Minor Cabinet shuffle today, triggered primarily by Navdeep Bains (Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada) resigning his portfolio and deciding not to run in the next election.

François-Philippe Champagne (currently Foreign Affairs) will replace Bains, Marc Garneau (currently Transport) will replace him, and Omar Alghabra comes from the backbench to replace Garneau.

Finally, Jim Carr is coming back into Cabinet as a special representative to the Prairies, having stepped down from International Trade Diversification after being diagnosed with cancer in 2019.

That sounds like Jason Kenney. Well hopefully we don't have him ruining relations over this sort of thing. Trudeau may be pretty alright with pipelines but I don't think have this sort of reaction to the US being finally under reasonable leadership pro.

And on Biden/Harris' inauguration, someone wants to do the same thing that happened in DC, this time in Hamilton.

Derek Sloan has been expelled from the Conservative Party!

https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/derek-sloan-expel-caucus-result-1.5880171

I suspect the attempted insurrection in the US was the moment O’Toole realized he had to make a show of distancing himself from racist extremism.

Well at least he is out. Now he should watch his mouth as well, if he is into distancing. Hopefully this will help clean things out, doesn't really matter if it's a wake up call or just distancing (though I guess if the second there is the risk of just getting good at dog whistles). Still Sloan out is a good thing.

Sloan being out is a good thing, but its pathetic how O'Toole waited for something relatively minor (a small donation among thousands from a white nationalist, of which the party as a whole took a cut) compared to his anti-vaxx, anti-mask, anti-LGBTQ, and blatant racism over the past few years.
