I'm glad to see this hitting the fucking fan. As much as I hate to say it, PP is right: canadians need to see who is compromised. I'm a staunch left voter, but I wrote my conservative fuckstick MP when the report was first leaked.

I must have missed the part where there was definitive evidence that anyone was compromised. I thought this was still an investigation.

If this has progressed to the stage that the evidence is strong enough than sure the names should be released, but I didn't think the investigation was at that point.

The alternative is the list of names is released and then it later comes out that a few names were actually innocent but it's too late to take it back because that incorrect news being public will have ruined their chances or reelection.

I'm not suggesting a witch-hunt without evidence; just accountability from the government that is supposed to serve us. In power or otherwise.

That's what the investigation is. And that's happening. All parties with the correct access can access that information. What accountability isn't happening?

Is an investigation happening?

Out of curiosity, and if you don't mind sharing, do you think the Liberals have done a good job of dealing with election interference issues?

I haven't seen anything that suggests that the Liberal party is mishandling election interference matters that fall under their control.

But election interference related things are not something that the acting government should have influence over. Elections Canada is independent and should be handling anything creditable, and the legal system should be capable of handling any prosecuting.

I strongly stongly stongly believe that the government should not be able to directly influence anything that can change election results.
