  1. The fund is nothing but a scam with no checks or balances. Just more money siphoned away.

    Half the Liberals should be hind bars and the half of $ billion should be paid back

    When they said green fund to save the environment, they meant money to save their environment of never being held accountable for corruption.

    I mean, how can you blame the Liberals at this point? Between Aga Khan, SNC, WE, Arrivecan, Chinese interference, and countless others, absolutely nothing has stuck and affected them. They haven’t faced consequences from either ethics probes, their own party or frankly the electorate voting them out.

    I’d continue doing corruption if I had no moral backbone and faced 0 consequences as well. It would be silly not to at this point.

    It’s the four other parties demanding the evidence be turned over to RCMP. And it’s the guilty liberals trying to avoid this to not go to jail. This is major corruption.

    I really don’t care because I know the conservatives will be exactly the same. The only change that happens is what ass goes in what seat.

    It’s very concerning the oppositions first move is to trample on the charter /s -random LPC member.

  8. Can someone cut/paste the body of text from the paywall site where this article is, as a comment here please?

  9. The Tories, NDP and BQ have ALL been pushing for the release of these documents, and moreover have the legal power to compel it. Even the highly partisan Liberal Speaker of the House has said the Liberals are illegally defying their release. So, how the Conservatives are being blamed for bringing Parliament to a standstill I have no idea.

    Further, let’s recap what brought us to this point:

    * the Liberals created this slush fund, dumped a billion dollars in it, and then appointed a bunch of well-connected Liberal supporters to the board overseeing it
    * Last fall, a whistleblower testified that tens if not hundreds of millions of dollars from this fund had been awarded by these board members to themselves with almost no oversight or controls, including to projects that had absolutely no connection to “green tech”
    * These revelations got lost in the shuffle at the time, because the Liberals were already embroiled in a tens-of-millions-of-dollars scandal over the ArriveCan app as well as the ongoing election interference scandal, which they were also doing their best to cover up. The Liberals quietly shut down the fund and prayed the whole thing would be forgotten
    * Since then, we now know that the RCMP has launched an ongoing investigation into the fund and its Liberal-appointed board
    * In order to get to the bottom of it, the CPC, NDP and BQ used the power they legally possess to compel the full release of all related, unredacted documents— and the Liberals have illegally refused to do so.

    There is an enormous amount of gaslighting going on around this by Liberal supporters and their friends in the media to distract everyone from the above and convince people that somehow the problem here is the Conservatives. We should not let them.

    It would be good if the NDP that supported the release grow some balls and vote the government down for refusing to follow through. Or again, they might be chihuahuas, all bark no bite.

  11. Haven’t looked into it yet but from what I saw the main issue here is that the Conservatives want the papers released so they can hand them over to the RCMP, which isn’t allowed.  MPs can’t demand unredacted papers for the purpose of handing them off to a third party.  Or at least that’s the reason the Liberals are giving for why they haven’t handed over all the papers yet, but based on a bunch of other rules it sounds like something that would be accurate.  If the Conservatives were pushing for the Liberals to hand those papers over for their own use they’d have a stronger argument, it’s the involvement of the third party that’s causing problems.
