We got a good look at politics in action via Wilson-Raybould's testimony recently. Is this the way that we want our politics to be done?

Is it okay to distort the truth to support a moral/political position?

Our Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has made some laudable promises regarding First Nations issues and I commend him for that. But is it all just for the sake of appearances? It would seem to be so. But I am not an expert on these issues, just a concerned citizen.

Trudeau has promised to open up elections not once, but twice. Twice he has abandoned his promise. Will he promise to do it a third time?

“Moral transgression” is an accurate term for the Trudeau government’s abandonment of voter reform. I try to make the case. I offer some reflections on the political issues briefly afterwards.

Former Prime Minister Stephen Harper was accused of being a lone wolf in the cabinet, calling the important shots in isolation. But Foreign Affairs Minister Stéphane Dion just claimed that he alone authorized the Saudi arms deal. Is Dion a scaled-down version of Harper? Were Stephen and Stéphane separated at birth?

The ongoing saga of the Trudeau government's conflict with the PBO. Under pressure, the government provided the PBO with the requested information. However, the information provided raises more questions.

Two governments in a row have collided with the Parliamentary Budget Officer (PBO) over their refusal to provide the necessary data so that the PBO can do its job. Is transparency in government a myth?

This is a discussion of the contrast between respecting human rights and prioritizing economic interests.
