Nothing is ever the liberals fault. Blame CSIS. Blame the public service, blame your staff, blame conservatives. This responsible government sure tries to sidestep responsibility.

Blair never, ever takes accountability, he must resign

[ColSunshine]

It's always someone else's fault with these guys.

Bill Blair was drunk when they handed him the report.

[bobmatt]

It was his job to know so he’s claiming he is not doing his job! Surprise surprise . Fire this incompetent liar

[rossmackenzie]

Babbling Bill Blair always blames others for his mistakes. He's such a tool.

[ckuwrnn]

I'm sure climate change caused him to not get that message

This is just embarrassing watching Blair spin his web of excuses--and he's Minister of EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS?!?

[Bobkanada]

Whaaaatt! It was mistakenly put in your out basket right? If you did not read it, anyone in your office and under your Command read it? Oh well. Who cares right? When a mininster does not read a national security note from CSIS, we are in trouble Canada.

[cindypetterson]

Kinda like making a a doctors appt and then missing the appt because you weren’t reminded of the appt.

Quoted from Terry Glavin, the National Post:
"On Tuesday, CSIS director David Vigneault told the committee his agency’s report on the Chong affair was sent directly to Blair’s office, apparently contradicting Blair’s claim that CSIS never brought it to his attention. Johnston, in his report, offered the excuse that Blair didn’t see damning reports written for him specifically because he and his chief of staff “do not have access to the Top Secret Network email on which it was sent.”

On Tuesday, Morrison suggested that this business about a “top secret network email” is a fiction. “One thing in the report I would take issue with is the notion of a top-secret system that a minister may or may not have had access to, ” Morrison said, in response to what was clearly intended as a softball question gently lobbed by Trudeau’s parliamentary secretary, Greg Fergus. “Since I joined the Canadian government about ten years ago, all the intel I’ve ever seen has come in hard copy.”

the only way to fix a lair is fire him

I misremembered okay, and I misremembered misremembering.

Trudeau has to resign. Is Singh paying attention to this?

[glenrobinson]

Bill Blair should have made it his business to know these things not blame other for his failures. I believe he did know though and chose not to act.
He should resign!!!

[tammykrzyski]

It’s ALWAYS somebody else’s fault. Lol

[beatsbybigjoe]

They keep throwing CSIS under the bus....this should go well for them 😅

[robertolsen]

How long would these clowns last if they worked in the private sector ?

It seems that politicians cannot accept responsibility. Accepting responsibility is the only way to gain trust.
