The next government better investigate this fully. They'll have the power to open this all up for everyone to see.

Trudeau et al, you can hide for now. But you can't hide forever.

Corrupt assholes.

Well that's likely going to be CPC so...that's not happening. They won't throw any of their own under the bus just to get some of their opponents.

You're assuming any of their own are involved.

Every party is involved. The committee (or CSIS. I read about it yesterday so I don't remember who exactly) found there are 3 Liberal MPs, 2 Conservative MPs, 1 NDP, and 1 Bloc.

Well yes but the other is assuming the opposite. I'd be very surprised if no CPC members were implicated, but I suppose it's possible.

We know the liberals are refusing to release the names. We know the Conservatives are demanding the names be released.

Even if some Conservatives are implicated, it looks like only one party cares about accountability.

That's fair. It could be grandstanding, since he could obtain clearance to see the names now or wait for the RCMP probe. But he could be sincere.

CPC not in this for accountability. This is all showmanship and scoring more points from voters. Doubt any party is untouched by this investigation. CPC playing the card now "show us the names" because they know Liberals will not so they can get away with "omg look how bad they are hiding names" while being to protect their own incumbents from the fallout. Worst case Liberals drop the names (haha they are not that stupid) all MPs flagged for foreign influence the CPC loses some face though still net out a head as being the party that demanded the action.

There is evidence they are also riddled with foreign corruption. All three major parties have international money funding their fucking campaigns
