MPs on the House Ethics Committee are right now considering closing loopholes in the federal government ethics law, one of Canada’s most important anti-corruption laws, and make enforcement effective (finally). Join the call #cdnpoli to close all the loopholes at:

Liberal Prime Minister Mark Carney sidelines elected MPs who are Parliamentary Secretaries by having his unelected PMO staff come to party caucus meetings.
The Hill Times@TheHillTimes

Less than a year after the Liberal caucus decided that senior staffers from the PMO could not attend confidential weekly meetings, two senior staffers have been invited back at the request of Prime Minister Mark Carney, say Liberal MPs. hilltimes.com/?p=495414

PC Party leader Premier Doug Ford essentially admits all his & his ministers’ statements have been lies. He is proposing the abuse of power of changing the FOI law to hide which lobbyists have called him & when they called clearly to cover up his own scandalous wrongdoing #onpoli

PC Party leader Premier Doug Ford wasted voters’ money on a court case trying to hide his cellphone calls. Courts ruled he must disclose who he talks to re: government decisions. Now Ford is proposing to change the law to hide his call log & all his reasons are lies #onpoli

On first period goals by Lionel Conacher and Harold Darragh, Pittsburgh Pirates clinched the final NHL playoff spot, 2-0. "Pittsburg outclassed, outplayed, and outsmarted Ottawa in every department of the game."

On this day in 1935, Charlie Conacher did it all. Not only did he bag a hat trick, but he also spent some time in net #Leafs365 #LeafsForever

Lionel Conacher! "The Big Train" was a premier Canadian multi-sport athlete (1900–1954) who excelled in six major sports, winning championships in hockey (Stanley Cup), football (Grey Cup), lacrosse, baseball, boxing, and wrestling. Known as Canada's athlete of the half-century!

Canada‘s Epstein files…of lobbying? Commissioner of lobbying and RCMP covered up lobbying violations in multiple cases, violating law by hiding investigation records. Secret, unethical lobbying loopholes must be closed, enforcement strengthened #cdnpoli 1/2

Call for key changes to stop ruling parties from using the public’s money to advertise themselves, like Doug Ford’s PC Party government has done at record levels, and call for other key spending controls, at:

Tina Yazdani@TinaYazdani

The Ford government won’t disclose the cost of its new “Protect Ontario” ad that debuted during the Super Bowl. The premier says it’s about “telling people we have a plan.” Critics call it “gaslighting.” Last year, the gov’t spent a record $112M in taxpayer-funded partisan ads.

Study finds just 100 social media accounts in Canada are responsible for almost 70% of false claims that go viral. Shows the need for an honesty in politics law with high fines for these serial blatant misleaders ctvnews.ca/montreal/artic… #cdnpoli #bcpoli
