OTTAWA – Prime Minister Justin Trudeau unveiled a new game for Canadians to play during his testimony before the committee on foreign interference in Canada’s elections, in which people wildly guess which Conservative MP or MPs are traitors to our country and collaborating with a foreign power.
“Is it the one who always sounds like she just finished her third pinot grigio? The guy who hung out with Nazis? The woman who hung out with Nazis? The other guy who hung out with Nazis? Or the one who is clearly a vampire?” Asked a smiling Trudeau. “Give it your best shot. It’s fun for the whole family!”
“First one to get it right wins a free trip to the Aga Khan’s private island!”
After drawing praise for his forceful condemnation of India’s role in the murder of a Canadian citizen yesterday, Trudeau decided to blow off some steam by turning the issue into a fun bit of mystery, like when you go to a dinner theatre and have to figure out who “shot” the owner before they serve dessert, only with Canada’s national reputation at stake.
“Obviously I’m prevented from actually revealing the names of the MPs involved, but there isn’t anything in the rules from me tapping my nose three times if you say their name, or telling you it sounds something like Mierre Moilievre.”
Poilievre responded forcefully to Trudeau’s gambit, demanding the PM release the names publicly, even though that would potentially compromise an ongoing RCMP investigation. Poilievre could of course find out the identity of the people involved, but that would require him to get his security clearance. To date he has chosen not to on account of the fact that being a national security risk is all part of the bad boy makeover he went through last summer.
