I doubt very much Trudeau can be “direct”….

[@TheeYellowDart]

Unless it's directly misleading.

[@ransom182]

Can any politician? PP surely can't - he's nonstop talking points.

Totally a showcase.

The Inquiry needs to happen in a courtroom where the guilty can be convicted. These public inquiries are a joke.

It's such a waste of taxpayers' money for theatrics that yield nothing.

Trudeau has never been direct in his life,he’s not gonna start now.

I wonder who, gets thrown under the bus this time and of course will be handed a big pay day courtesy of the taxpayer, this POS PM is an absolute joke, but not a funny one.

Tom loves Trudeau. If you vote Liberal/NDP you are ok with any cheating. It’s the culture that is built in.

[@jeremymulder2453]

Not answering a question or "fogging" while under oath should be an indictable crime! Try that in court...... I dare ya!

[@user-ri7zx7bf7i]

We wouldn't need to be spending all this money for an inquiry if the liberals weren't crooked.

[@robertskeates51]

He needs to step down and spend some time in jail !

[@owenshikingandadventures9605]

Any “yes or no” basic yet important questions will reveal a classless Trudeau saying “we’ve done this and that for Canadians etc” rambling. I have no hopes for accountability, sadly.

[@wasupfool5692]

Well I think we all know by now Trudeau will never be direct in his answers, if he answers at all.

[@robinoxford8391]

Liberal self interest made it easy to ignore. There must be real punishment for this kind of behaviour, much more than just being voted out. Perhaps lose all pension and benefits for life.

[@user-ep2hs9sr5w]

He needs to go to jail all his bank accounts frozen anything he owns taken he needs to live like poverty at its worst

[@monicapushkin3274]

Mulcair has nothing to offer anymore. He should just go away.

Throw him and his caucus in jail. It’s time. Canadians want him gone.

[@markhayvren2203]

Why is Mulcair fawning over these guys for being so slippery…….tell the truth then let the chips fall! Ovef and over again it’s either CSIS or The RCMP who take the brunt for not providing enough info …..no matter what the issue.!!

[@dimitriosotis8632]

Arrogance is powerful. Sadly, many seem to feel they NEED to support Trudeau, just because he EXPECTS to be believed and honoured.

[@svartskegg]

Foreign (American) money has been funding the (so called) Canadian Taxpayers Federation and the Fraser Institute for decades. Both of which have been interfering in Canadian politics and elections...

[@bilbobaggins4462]

The concept of Trudeau "testifying" anything vaguely resembling the truth is utterly ludicrous. Does anyone still believe what he says?

Asking Trudeau for direct honesty is like asking an apple tree to grow oranges. He should be in jail.

It's not interference when it was welcome..

i wish this was a court with a judge to stop the vagueness of answers. it reminds me of watching wrestling in the past the wrestler was cheating everyone saw what was going on except the referee

[@citizenscientist2951]

And if he isn’t direct? You speak as though there would be some sort of consequence, when you know that there never is one.

[@peg466]

JT will drone on...no doubt there.

[@Flora7-Lan]

Seniors government officials who monitored threads during the 2019 and 2021 elections said the information they received about foreign interference activities did not meet the high threshhold for warning Canadians, either at a riding or national level.

[@Flora7-Lan]

"We have seen some foreign interference activities, but We have seen nothing that impacts the rights of Canadians to have a free and fair election." said Nathalie, a member of both mornitoring panels...

[@TheGruntski]

'Mulcair, "you missed your path in life. You should have been the king's jester and earned your bread, and stripes too, by mimicking his counselors"

[@martinfriesen2247]

Is JT bringing a doctors note ?

[@Flora7-Lan]

The interference was not significant enough to take action, so the briefings are not important information to send to Prime Minister Trudeau 's table or recommended PM Trudeau to read.

[@bindardondat5292]

Any chance of an early federal election?
