Elections Canada censors book critical of Turdeau

No one gives a fuck about his book, no one is trying to censor it. What they are doing is upholding the laws that govern our elections.

I mean, seriously. I'm not a fan of Trudeau or the RCMP, but it's almost a full time occupation countering the bullshit fake news around here. Doubly so when Levant is involved.

So you're saying all those other instances didn't happen and it's "fake" news? :roll:

Ask yourself, how many things in the last while have you posted, and myself or someone else, usually Tricks, managed to thoroughly discredit with 5 minutes and Google?

Levant is doing what Levant does. Crying he's being repressed, but completely ignoring his own culpability for making advertising signs that looked like Election signs and putting them on lawns and around cities during an Election.

No one gives a fuck about his book, no one is trying to censor it. What they are doing is upholding the laws that govern our elections.

Meanwhile, Trudeau lashed out at the woman at a public rally when she asked whether his government would repay Quebec for the cost of settling refugees. Then she was manhandled and arrested by his security team.

The Progressive fake news and their believers want to make this about lawn signs.

It's not about lawn signs, of course, but what the Hell. Let's do it.

This is what Progbots want you to believe justifies Soviet style pressure tactics. Soon it will be the 3 in the morning knock on the door. Over this...

Will your government agents be tearing down real estate ad lawn signs too?

And here's one Ezra kept asking of Justin's Campaign police, "Why aren't you harassing all the authors of pro-Justin books?"

Well, lawn sign Nazis? Can you answer that? Why aren't they?

Not that any of the Progressive media gullibles will be interested but here's the other side of the story on the lawn signs and other techniques used to gain parity with what Rebel calls "the media party."

Are they doing it this time. Maybe maybe, not but like I said past behaviour is a great indicator of future behaviour and you can ask the PM's security team about that. Because no matter who this woman really is or what group she belongs to she has the right to ask asked a valid question. But was arrested and escorted away from the PM's press conference.

Yes I do. But when you're the leader of a Majority in the House of Commons it's pretty well a rubber stamp nomination even if it's supposed to be a secret ballot.

A quick procedural sidebar: before a nomination for the 10-year, non-renewable term can be finalized, it must be approved by the House. Traditionally, this has been a pro forma practice, as no nominee has ever been publicly opposed since the position was created in 1920. (Before that, elections were run by a clerk handpicked by the government of the day.)

Liberals quite enjoyed it when they all willingly spread the lie that Stephen Harper would have troops posted on the streets all across the country to keep everyone in line. As such it's only fitting when the same sort of totalitarian accusations gets turned around and lobbed at Liberals. And if Harper had actually sent the RCMP around to bother his critics his government would have fallen because it would have been top-item in all of the press. As is typical with the relationship with Trudeau and the Canadian press this sort of thing gets put on the back pages with the usual "oh, well" indifference the media has always had towards any rule-bending/breaking/shattering when it's committed by their favoured Natural Governing Party.

Don’t be ridiculous.

Were these or any other anti-Trudeau books pulled off the shelves?
Have any of any of the anti-Trudeau websites and videos been pulled off the internet?
Have right wing junk papers like the Sun and other anti-Trudeau columnists been prevented from publishing their criticism?
Has Ezra been prevented from advertising his book at any other time except during the election?i
Is thereaby evidence that Trudeau or any Liberal Party members were involved in this investigation?

The answer to all of the above is no. So use your head

Just so we're clear, you're claiming that a guy who has worked for Elections Canada for 13 years, was appointed in 2014 to be Deputy Chief Electoral Officer Regulatory Affairs (so under the conservatives), has no blemish on his record that can be found, was supported via voice vote (meaning no one actually thought he wouldn't get support), is now working at the behest of a Prime minister who might be gone halfway through his 10 year tenure? In fact, when considering using social media influencers to try and get people out to vote, the idea was scrapped, under him, because of Conservatives protesting it. So he's actively shut down what would have probably been a liberal leaning initiative, and rightfully so.

And that makes logical sense in your mind? Why is it that all political hacks feel the need to project onto everyone else?

It’s not so much that we don’t value privacy: it’s just when it comes to balancing it with transparency, we tend to err on the side of the latter. That, in a nutshell, is why this particular journalist finds it so awkward and uncomfortable to admit that maybe, just maybe, we don’t need to know

why the Liberals apparently reversed course on their move to import Saskatchewan elections commissioner Michael Boda to fill the now vacant federal post

.

I say “apparently” because Boda’s putative nomination leaked out via the Toronto Star, which reported in April that “multiple sources” had confirmed Boda would be the government’s pick. Democratic Institutions Minister Karina Gould’s office declined to comment on his potential candidacy, as did Boda himself.

His name was reportedly put forward as the government’s recommended choice in letters sent to opposition leaders just before the Star broke the news.

Fast forward to this week, and the promised pronouncement arrived — with a twist.

Conspicuously absent was any mention of Boda. Instead, Justin Trudeau’s chosen nominee was revealed to be Stéphane Perrault, who has been serving as acting chief electoral officer since Mayrand stepped down in December 2016.

As was the case with Boda, reaction to Perrault’s nomination was, for the most part, positive, although Official Ottawa was certainly collectively confused by what appeared to be a major last-minute change to a one-man lineup.
