"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

The crimes perpetrated by Michael Tait and other Newsboys associates expose a pattern of abuse that demands answers. How many victims are still suffering in silence? How many enablers turned a blind eye to protect their cash cow? julieroys.com/woman-accuse...

I'm watching Trump at a press event at the G7 with our PM Mark Carney.
He's trying to get Russia back into the G7. Blames Trudeau, but conservative Stephen Harper was PM at the time.
He claims that there would be no war. But Russia was ousted because Putin invaded Crimea.
Trump is an idiot.

Trump pardoned Paul Walczak, a nursing home executive who illegally withheld millions from his workers' paychecks (while buying a luxury yacht).
The pardon came after his mother attended a $1M-per-person Trump fundraiser at Mar-a-Lago last month.
Everything is for sale.
