Liberal, Bloc, NDP MPs suspend ArriveCan hearings after reading ‘scary’ secret report (Archive)
What do you guys think this super scary report was? My guess is a close-up of Trudeau smiling while brandishing a chef's knife.

Liberal, Bloc Québécois and NDP MPs suddenly suspended parliamentary hearings related to ArriveCan and contracting misconduct allegations Wednesday after reading what one Liberal described as a “scary” secret preliminary report by a federal investigator.
They say any further hearings could put at risk investigations by the Canada Border Services Agency, which produced the report, and the RCMP.
The three parties voted together to end any further questioning of Michel Lafleur, the federal investigator, and made clear that they expect the committee will focus on other topics at future meetings.
Members of the House of Commons committee on government operations have been reviewing how costs for the ArriveCan app for international travellers ballooned to $54-million and related IT procurement issues for months.
For the most part, the four political parties involved, including the Conservatives, have co-operated on how to proceed throughout the study. That goodwill unravelled Wednesday.
“We’re doing a disservice to justice,” said Liberal MP and committee vice-chair Majid Jowhari. “And I’m being very, very serious about this. Very serious. I’m not a lawyer, okay, but what I read, it’s scary.”
Conservative MP Stephanie Kusie accused the Liberals of wanting to cover up the issue just days before Auditor-General Karen Hogan releases her report Monday into ArriveCan.
Conservative MP Larry Brock also rejected the Liberal concerns, claiming the government does not want to get to the bottom of what occurred.
“These are horrendous, horrendous allegations against the government of Canada. So I can see, Mr. Chair, why the Liberals will do everything in their power to shut this down,” he said. “That’s why we’re here, Mr. Chair, is to get to the bottom of this scam.”
The committee’s latest meeting late Wednesday became heated as MPs debated what to do with a preliminary statement of facts they recently obtained in confidence from the border agency.
The contents of the report have been distributed to all MPs on the committee but have not been made public.
The report is by Mr. Lafleur, the CBSA’s executive director of professional integrity. He was asked in late 2022 to review allegations brought to the agency by Montreal software company Botler. As The Globe and Mail first reported in October, 2023, Botler’s allegations included concerns related to the use of inflated résumés in the contracting process and cozy ties between public servants and private contractors.
Botler did not work on ArriveCan, but the company’s allegations involved some of the same public servants, contractors and contracts that were connected to ArriveCan.
The RCMP has said that it is investigating the allegations brought forward by Botler, which were forwarded to the police by the CBSA. The RCMP has not said it is investigating ArriveCan.
Mr. Lafleur appeared before the same committee on Monday. During that meeting it was revealed that Mr. Brock had a copy of the report but other MPs did not. The committee decided Monday to privately distribute the report to MPs on the committee only, and not to their staff. Mr. Lafleur returned to the committee Wednesday, but MPs ultimately voted to end the meeting without asking him any further questions.
Mr. Jowhari expressed his opinion Wednesday that the months of study related to ArriveCan have shown there was “no ticking time bomb” related to the app, however he said Mr. Lafleur’s preliminary findings related to Botler’s allegations are another matter.
“Now we are seeing, oh my God, based on this [report], this is even going deeper than we expected. So it’s not that we don’t want to do the study or we are trying to hide something,” said Mr. Jowhari. “By no means is our side saying stop [studying] ArriveCan. What we’re suggesting is pause.”
NDP MP Taylor Bachrach said he supports the proposal to suspend committee hearings until the investigations by the CBSA and the RCMP are complete.
He also expressed concern with what he read in Mr. Lafleur’s secret report.
“I don’t think that I would be compromising the investigation to say that what I read, I found deeply troubling. And I think most Canadians, if they read the statement of fact, would be deeply troubled by what seems to have gone on,” he said.
“But I’m concerned that if we were to continue down this line of questioning of Mr. Lafleur, as was occurring at the last meeting when some of the contents of the preliminary statement of fact were disclosed, that we would compromise the investigation.”
The Globe reported last month that the federal government has suspended Health Canada assistant deputy minister Cameron MacDonald and Canada Revenue Agency director-general Antonio Utano without pay in connection with the CBSA’s review of misconduct allegations.
Both Mr. MacDonald and Mr. Utano previously worked together at the CBSA and were involved with both ArriveCan and the CBSA’s unrelated work with Botler.
During Monday’s hearing, Mr. Brock criticized Mr. Lafleur and said his report was “seriously flawed.” Mr. Brock said the report describes an investigation called “project Helios” that casts unproven allegations as facts.
Chris Spiteri, a lawyer representing Mr. MacDonald and Mr. Utano, said in an e-mail that Mr. Lafleur’s preliminary report is “nothing but a heap of baseless accusations supported by manipulated cherry picked emails and calendar entries.”
After Wednesday’s hearing, Mr. Spiteri repeated his view that his clients are being targeted because they criticized CBSA executives during their public testimony last year.
“What is ‘scary’ is the extent to which some will go to discredit well-respected civil servants just after they honestly testified about senior executives misleading parliament,” he said in an e-mail. “It is troubling that untested accusations are called facts,” he said. “It is very frightening that people can be deprived of their livelihoods based on unproven accusations.”
Conservative MP Garnett Genuis said he was “flabbergasted” by the push to suspend the committee’s study.
“When the Liberals think nothing’s going on, when they say there’s nothing to see here, Mr. Speaker, that tells Conservatives that we need to dig even deeper.”

If you look at pandemic era spending as reported they were handing out single source contracts like candy. My guess is the report outed a bunch of other corrupt projects that implicates cabinet ministers, which are currently under RCMP investigation.

They've also managed to frame the narrative re: Jagmeet Singh's coalition deal with Trudeau running until 2025.
Conservative normies love to bleat about Singh riding out the deal until 2025 "until his pension locks in". Which provides convenient cover for the fact that Jimmy is already a rich man and a globohomo WEF acolyte just like Trudy.
By running with a narrative that Dhaliwal is just basic bitch greedy, self-interested and politician corrupt, it allows him to hide out in the open without even most of his normie critics looking any further.
Doug Ford almost allowed his Education Ministry's LGBT policy to be written and codified by an opposition NDP jogger psycho named Laura Mae Lindo.
It essentially would've officially codified all of the troon and CRT struggle sessions into the official Education legislation law of the land for every preschool to postgrad program. It gave schoolboards extrajudicial powers to levy fines directly to parents for speaking out against their BS.
For some insane reason, Ford and his education minister Lecce allowed an opposition socialist activist MPP to write their own government's Education overarching ideology overhaul and had all their members (while holding a majority) support it unanimously.
The only reason it didn't become law was because an election was called in June 2022 before it reached final reading in the legislature (and the unhinged NDP MPP has moved on).

Why do normies think the PPC is apparently the natsoc party? Just had a conversation with my mother about who she's voting for and when I floated the possibility of her voting PPC she said "they're hardcore right wing". Then she said she just wants things to be cheaper and that she's not against immigration.

Bell Media shutters all local TV newscasts except Toronto, Montreal and Ottawa, sells off dozens of community radio stations to independent buyers
Will most effect seniors outside the big cities.
The local TV news closures are a mixed bag. They were globohomo slop, but there's hardly any sources of local news even in the medium-sized cities. These outlets are also some of the few that report and pay attention to municipal matters.
The radio station sales might actually be a positive. The corpo radio stations were essentially all cookie cutter rebroadcasters.
Having independent ownership might actually provide some actual diversity of thought and styles in the local markets. Along with potentially actually making them more community-oriented.
The Bell Media corpo mouthpiece predictably REEEd that they couldn't survive even with the dystopian media welfare bills passed by Trudeau.

God will it be hilarious when Baron Trump moggs Hadrian Trudeau.
If anything the PPC is full of cringe Lolberts.
Still the best party though (2nd best is the Bloc Quebecois except you can't vote for them as Anglos)

I tried to convince my father that the conservative party is not much different from the liberals. Pierre Polivere has yet to speak out on things such as the WHO's Pandemic Treaty, Agenda 2030, Mass Immigration of Poojets and pretty much everything Canadians suffered through during the Pandemic.
