We have a separatist movement in Alberta, that is fueled by a sycophantic and borderline treasonous Premier and UCP, multiple NGOs and special interest groups some of whom have already been fined for hiding their funding, and a think tank that gets more than 10% of their reported and direct funding from the US (ignoring funding that comes from the US but goes through one hop in Canada, thus legitimizing it).

Is it too much to ask that someone do some fucking investigation? Dig in and make sure the funding is all legitimate before we give up our whole country to a demonstrated enemy whose main mode of attack is division, propaganda and disinformation??

    They have yet to do move a muscle for the investigation

    Not one that the general public might notice.

    Most investigations into most things happen quietly, intentionally not drawing the attention of those being investigated.

      I can’t help but think of the Kenney’s illegal kamikaze campaign. The RCMP announced the investigation then four years later they announced they didn’t find any evidence.

      It’s a common trope for people being investigated when connected to the conservatives.

      I imagine the situation for Parker is the same, the police announced the investigation in order to give Parker a heads up to deal with any evidence and to stop the calls from concerned citizens asking for an investigation, this is so by the time they get around to collecting the evidence years later, it’s no longer available.
