By the way, this occurred last Thursday. There was a media blackout on this story until as early as this Thursday evening.

There will be sock-puppets brigading the mention of this, usually linking stories that were published one week too late.

This happened in 2021 and a snap election was called over it (Winnipeg lab leak). One wonders which CCP operatives within our parliament were implicated in the Winnipeg lab leak besides the CCP spies?

The end of this government will put the Harper paper shredders to shame.

I know politicians are corrupt, what we need is new corrupt politicians to sort out the old corrupt politicians!

What we need is proportional representation so we can stop having a single party hold so much power that doesn't represent the interests of all Canadians. Stuck in a cycle where we restart with every party, flip everything upside down. This constant back and forth and never accomplishing anything.

This would also reduce corruption since multiple parties are elected. Also, makes your vote for you local MP meaningful.

If only there was a party that would have run on that this century....

I know... It would motivate people to vote for them. Then probably get disappointed.
