@Queengramzie Focus is foreign interference in Canada’s electoral system. Given the gravity of the issue, I believe David Johnston is the best choice to lead on this matter.

@KVickers Curious… how does one “Trump”conflict of interest? Ridiculousness!! heck I’m no Ethnics commissioner, but that, respectfully sir, is crazy
English
David Johnston knows the issues of Conflict of Interest as well as any learned Judge. David Johnson is his own man and would never allow anyone including JT to « put » him in any position. Honour, Honesty, Integrity, Values trump Perception and this red herring.

It’s @JustinTrudeau who should be ashamed to have put an honourable man in this position. He knew Johnston was conflicted, from his friendship with his family to his past support of #confuciusinstitutes He professes outrage while using the man as political cover. Appalling.

@rlb74 With respect, I believe the issue is Foreign Interference in our Elections. And there is no better choice than David Johnston to look into this matter. Like Ward Elcock, I would be very cautious of a Public Inquiry as being the right tool to address this matter.
English
@KVickers This isn’t an issue with DJ. Unless he crucifies JT, there will always be the appearance of a conflict because he is a family friend of the Trudeau’s. You are helping JT by using this as a distraction from his not calling for a public inquiry. JT is the focus, not DJ.

Memo to Yellen and Powell (why didn’t he waive the blackout period???): To stem a crisis like this, you find buyers, not depositors. First Republic needs a real capital injection. Stop the game of playing small-ball already and start taking this seriously.

@KVickers @waltsobchak99 @acoyne Kevin is that why you took credit for shooting the guy in parliament halls when it was actually someone else that fired the fatal shot? Is that your definition of integrity?
English
Totally disagree with @acoyne and his Tweets. I know David Johnston. He is the essence of honesty and integrity. If Trudeau has down wrong, hiding information, took advantage of the situation, Johnston will kick his arse. Not a question in my mind.
Andrew Coyne 🇺🇦🇮🇱🇬🇪🇲🇩@acoyne
Yes. We also need someone without personal or professional connection to the Prime Minister, and with a track record of getting to the bottom of things. On either score there are questions.

Reposol has come to the same eco mic conclusion for East Coast LNG port as Arthur Irving did on east coast oil pipeline years ago. Not economically viable. Unfortunate for New Brunswickers to have been so misled on this issue.
English
@acoyne has an “unimpeachable legal and technical arguement” on Conflict of Interest re. David Johnston. Canadians intuitively know that Honesty, Integrity, Values and Honour trump Perception. He has been anything but honest or integral in compliments towards this great man.

@glen_mcgregor @VanguardBrian @acoyne Fort Rae, N.W.T. She was dropping another teacher friend off at her home, backed out of driveway and hit another vehicle. I was the only RCMP officer working, other officers were away. You can call Ann @glen_mcgregor .

@waltsobchak99 @acoyne Honesty, integrity, Duty, Honour trump Perception

@AmyThomis @acoyne Honesty, Integrity, Duty, Honour trump Perception every time.
English
@KVickers @acoyne I think the issue is not him personally, but the appearance it gives that the investigation is not impartial. It speaks to the Liberals’ inability to understand that “just trust me” is not appropriate from any government. Transparency prevents conspiracy theories AND corruption.

Lagarde must believe that making the same policy mistake Trichet did in the summer of '08 is a wise thing to do. If Powell thinks this is the right course at the next FOMC meeting, the only trade is into long bonds because the recession is going to come into even fuller view.
English
@VanguardBrian @acoyne With great respect, you guys are too academic for me, “perception”, I guess having issued my wife a traffic ticket for backing up when unsafe to do so causing an accident, gives me a different perception of this issue. David Johnston would do the same, no better man. Duty, honour

This is pretty appalling. The process is flawed - we don’t know the mandate or the powers of the role. But David Johnston deserves better than these as hominem attacks from people with less credibility than him.

Another random Liberal tasked by Trudeau to support his corruption and scandals. Nothing to see here folks they say.

@Lunenburg_home @JigglyPants44 So many families divided, so sad, well over 3 million Canadians were like your sister. Among them were hundreds of Doctors. Thought if we had great campaign with notable Canadians, Gretzky, Dryden, Atwood, promoting we could have reduced the numbers who were hesitant.
English
@KVickers @JigglyPants44 We weren’t trying to “convince” them, just responding to the lies, and hate they immediately started to spew.
Trust me, my sister and I went through this, and trying to gently and rationally convince her of the science, made it even worse.
Consequences and critical thinking.

Very disappointing. I didn’t realize she’s an idiot

I’m looking at Canada, the 51st state with good manners and great donuts, and the ex-shelter core CPI was 0.0% in January and running at an oh-so-scary +1.9% annual rate over the past three months. No wonder the BoC moved to the sidelines! StatsCan should give the BLS a lesson.
