It’s starting to look more and more like the secret Justin Trudeau.
As time goes by, we understand that the prime minister probably doesn’t want to put on a neon light on Chinese interference in our democratic life. The truth doesn’t interest him too much. She would risk embarrassing her party and him.

Justin Trudeau continues to play with words and the truth.
Take the latest revelations from Global News. It is revealed that reports of Chinese interference were prepared by the Secret Council Office and the secret National Security Committee for the Prime Minister’s Office.
Everything indicates that the Prime Minister’s entourage and Trudeau himself were informed of the existence of a support and funding network to favor certain candidates, often Liberals. However, last autumn the prime minister was unequivocal: he had “no information on the matter”. To this day he repeats this mantra, I saw nothing, knew nothing.
Either he’s playing with words, or he never wanted to know, or he lied.
Exaggerated partisanship, willful blindness, or lying, you decide.
Now the PM is announcing an overflow of investigations and recycling old measures.
No one gets to the heart of the matter: what the prime minister knew, how his government responded.
Good way to drown the fish, we stay on the sidelines of the government’s actions – or inactions. According to the PM, it’s none of our business.
She also announces a “special rapporteur” headed by a “prominent Canadian”. We are reassured. Above all, it saves time in the hope that the dust will settle.
Public poll?
At first we thought PM Trudeau was casual.
Or his earlier goodwill towards the Chinese regime, which has long been seen as an Eldorado to be conquered.
Perhaps it is time to consider another hypothesis: a simple and cold political calculation. It is better that not too much is known. Canadians don’t need to know. Democracy, elections, it’s him.
