    The last time they gave a Nazi a standing ovation, Chrystia Freeland aggressively pushed back against any calls to investigate how many Nazis Canada had harbored, and worked to thoroughly bury the story. And this wasn’t even her first Nazi scandal.

    If the government tries to stop people from investigating Nazis (including your “left” party), it’s infested with Nazis.

      That’s not true. These types of investigations basically hand over tons of political power to your opponent. Anything discovered can be implied to be the government’s fault, and if little is found then it’s the government wasting money.

      We don’t have the required refinement in the media and the political engagement of the average citizen to effectively use these kinds of investigations.

      Leveraging this type of investigation is part of how Stephen Harper best Paul Martin.
