10 Days Left: What the End of the Gas Tax Holiday Actually Costs You

  By MoneySavings.ca  |  August 28, 2026 The federal gas tax holiday ends in 10 days.

Alleged Collusion: Parliamentarians Face Accusations of Treason



In a recent report from the National Security and Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarians (NSICOP), shocking allegations have emerged. According to the report, sitting federal politicians are allegedly “witting” participants in foreign interference schemes. NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh minced no words, declaring these parliamentarians as “traitors to the country” for their alleged collaboration with foreign governments.

The report highlights several concerning actions by these politicians:

  1. Mobilizing Voters: Some parliamentarians are accused of working with foreign missions to mobilize voters during political campaigns.
  2. Financial Ties: Others allegedly accepted cash from foreign missions or their proxies, either knowingly or through willful blindness.
  3. Sharing Privileged Information: The report suggests that certain parliamentarians shared privileged information with foreign diplomatic officials.

While Green Party Leader Elizabeth May downplayed the report’s significance, Singh remains deeply concerned. He places the blame on the leadership of both Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre for failing to address the issue.

As the nation grapples with these serious allegations, the question remains: How will Canada respond to this breach of trust by its elected representatives?
