Chantal Hébert: Why Justin Trudeau can survive the inquiry and Pierre Poilievre has stayed silent

MONTREAL—A decade and a half ago, the publication of the findings of the inquiry into what was known as the federal sponsorship scandal signalled the beginning of the end of a dozen-year Liberal tenure.

For all intents and purposes, the case, it seems, is already closed in the minds of many Canadians and the popular verdict, notwithstanding Rouleau’s future conclusions, favours the ruling Liberals. Back at the time of the Gomery commission, there was not a day when testimony at the inquiry did not result in a barrage of opposition questions designed to amplify damage to the government.

But that does not mean a future Conservative government would not have an interest in some of the arguments the government has been advancing in front of the commission.

ChantalHbert ChantalHbert opinion is relevant said no one in recent years other than the handful she ponders too.

ChantalHbert Why? Shocker ... The EA was not about parliamentry politics.

ChantalHbert As if Rouleau would conclude that Trudeau failed to meet the legal threshold required to invoke the Emergencies Act.

ChantalHbert One thing about PMJT is that he is underestimated by many because of his boyish look and calm demeanour. Perhaps they all realize now how luck we are to have him as a PM through these few years of unprecedented challenges in Canada and the world in general TrudeauWasRight

ChantalHbert If the Sponsorship Scandal wasn’t enough to make Liberal supporters realize they are played for fools by the corrupt Liberal Party of Canada, nothing will.

ChantalHbert Won’t mean a thing unless Jagmeet Singh develops a sudden case of integrity…and a backbone.

ChantalHbert To those applauding the invoking of the EA remember these are peaceful Canadians protesting 2 years of lockdowns, missing funerals, watching lovedones dia alone, losing jobs, homes etc. And this

ChantalHbert It's not surprising. The entire inquiry has been slanted in the governments favour.

ChantalHbert 💯Teflon Trudeau!

ChantalHbert He was the only one with the intestinal fortitude to actually do what was right for Canada knowing it may harm him politically (which was the main objective, btw) so EA was justified. Also, there should be an inquiry into the deliberate failure of all other levels of leadership.

ChantalHbert I don’t see how he could conclude that. I could see him saying that Cons colluded with conspirators resulting in the necessity to invoke the EA provisions.

ChantalHbert As the extremist truckers attacked our elementary school, scaring children, parents, and staff, we know Trudeau was right

ChantalHbert This is wishful thinking masquerading as journalism

ChantalHbert Decisive hit Lol yeah ok. Next time just send in the dogs. Those hillbillies will be running for the hills.

ChantalHbert The EA ended the shitshow. It was needed. Period.

ChantalHbert The show must go on... lately...

ChantalHbert They won't be any decisive hits as long as the NDP No Democracy Party continues it's coalition with the Chronic lying Liberal Cabal. Canada's largest domestic terrorist organization.

ChantalHbert The show must go on... few years ago

Survive? He's bought the media and appointed the Judge...

it's too bad he's in ' survival ' mode and not innocent mode. Clearly this will be a nail driven into his political coffin, silly boy is acting like a Dictator.

Cause our system is broken to allows for politicians to get away with anything they want and not have to fear being removed from office. They’ll always be covered by their little party and shielded.

Or shorter…Trudeau was right.

The white hats as it were. Knownwhonthe nazi flag waving fellas are

What the fuck are you on about. Trudeau's effort to cover up the crime. Is the crime

I was very happy to see the transparency, and the seriousness of the entire inquiry. Canada's democracy remains strong, and that is what matters.
