What a miserable country Canada has become when our parliamentarians actually have to do this in the face of such obvious conflict of interest. Shame.
We're angry, but not that angry
"NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh is calling on the Liberal government to replace David Johnston as the special rapporteur into foreign interference, but he won’t withdraw his support for the government if they fail to listen. "
Singh calls for Johnston to be replaced as special rapporteur
The NDP leader says the appearance of bias, due to Johnston's lengthy relationship with the Trudeau family, can not be overcome.

The threat to our democracy is existential....but still not as important as blowing Justin.We're angry, but not that angry

Singh has it good. He's the dog who wags the Liberal tail but he has none of the responsibilities of government.
BTW: His wife has an ample bum.
From the get go, I thought Johnson was not a great choice. I do believe he played it straight....However, I think this is such a major issue that we should have an inquiry. Make the sensitive parts in-camera, but if you believe O'Toole (and I do) that he barely listened to him, we should re-do this and re-do it right. Even if there are legit reasons, or if Johnson's report hit the nail on the head...there are questions to be raised about it.
It doesn't matter how he played it. He was the wrong choice. The fact that he accepted this says it all about him. A man of integrity and wisdom would have NEVER said yes to Justin.
Is a payday worth destroying what it took you a lifetime to build- integrity and reputation?
congratulations , you contradicted yourself.... in the same short post
which is it ?
did he play it straight or did he ignore what he told as the outcome had already been pre-determined ?
do you not proof read your posts or more importantly think about what you have posted ?
Well, I would never say never, but in this specific situation the optics were bad from the get-go.
A more nuanced interpretation on this is that Johnson was not trying to have a preconceived notion, but after reviewing the evidence and speaking with security officials, O'toole's anecdotal responses might not have added anything to the conversation. But, to basically tell him that the report was already written...that optically comes off badly.
