Justin promised a new era “of openness and transparency!” He also said that he would appear in the House to face any questions the Opposition had. Note: He didn’t say he would answer the questions. Just that he would be there.

The Opposition had a simple query:

HOW MANY TIMES DID THE PRIME MINISTER MEET WITH THE ETHICS COMMISSIONER?

That’s it. All he had to say was a number. They asked him this question eighteen times in a row, and he didn’t answer it, not once. He just repeated the same talking points—again and again and again and again and again. Eighteen times! It really was quite remarkable, even by Justin Trudeau standards.

Shall we begin our descent into the rabbit hole?
