Bambi loves both bananas and Canada. She just does not like to see them increasingly combined. With all due respect<\/span> to Mr. David Johnston, we learned today that he was named by our Prime Minster as a “Independent<\/span> Special Rapporteur<\/em>, which is “a new role as part of a suite of measures to help combat foreign interference<\/em> [i.e. China”] and strengthen confidence in our federal electoral process and democratic institutions<\/em>” (https:\/\/bit.ly\/3JKXIlx<\/a>). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below you can first read and listen to Mr. Maxime Bernier (PPC) commenting on this nomination. Then, you can read Mr. Yves-Fran\u00e7ois Blanchet’s (BQ) tweets in French, which inform us of the following: First, Mr. Trudeau and Mr. Johnston are good friends. Second, Mr. Johnston’s children studied in China. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If all this is not a conflict of interest, what is it then? This “special rapporteur” position appears to be FAR from being “independent<\/em>” to the point that we can even wonder if it is not a political joke… but April Fool’s Day is still far away :).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
