The Spin
Right narrative
The ArriveCAN scandal is just the latest example of, at best, controversial spending and cronyism under the Justin Trudeau administration, following those of WE Charity and Sustainable Development Technology Canada. Despite widespread popular outrage against the government, no one has been held accountable for these misconducts. Hopefully, this time will be different.
Left narrative
It seems odd how much Conservatives, who didn't back the motion Wednesday, have changed their behavior on ArriveCAN hearings. At first, they quickly jumped to prosecute civil servants. Now, they have started casting doubts over Lafleur and his preliminary report. Though nothing has indicated the rationale for this move yet, their genuine commitment to the truth has been questioned.
