Compromised speaker Greg Fergus takes Canada one step closer to dictatorship

In the hallowed halls of the House of Commons, the Speaker is entrusted with a sacred duty: to preside over debates and proceedings with neutrality. The Speaker serves as custodian of the democratic process. 

Recent actions by Speaker Greg Fergus, elected as a Liberal MP in 2015, have cast a dark shadow over Parliament Hill, bringing Canada perilously close to a burgeoning dictatorship. 

The revelation that Speaker Fergus abandoned impartiality to endorse an Ontario Liberal Party event is not only a breach of long-established tradition, but it is an outright betrayal of Canadians. 

Fergus sent in a video of himself to the Ontario Liberals paying tribute to outgoing interim leader John Fraser, all while dressed in his official regalia.

Our Constitution, anchored in the principles of Commonwealth law, bestows on the Speaker extraordinary powers to oversee the House of Commons on the condition that whoever occupies the position sets aside their partisan leanings and abstains from caucus meetings.

Fergus betrayed that trust. The Speaker is meant to be an impartial arbiter, not a mouthpiece for a Prime Minister who fancies China’s basic dictatorship. 

Former Speaker of the House and current Conservative House Leader Andrew Scheer understood this in denouncing Fergus’ conduct. 

As the Conservatives and the Bloc Québécois call for Fergus’ resignation and a parliamentary committee agrees to investigate the matter, Fergus must step aside immediately. 

Instead, similarly to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau during the Freedom Convoy, Fergus has chosen to go into hiding and flee to the United States instead of being accountable to Canadians. 

Fergus was already unfit for the position of Speaker before his appointment. Fergus is a law-breaker. Let’s not forget that earlier this year, then-Ethics Commissioner Mario Dion found that as a Liberal MP Fergus had violated ethics laws. 

He broke the law by attempting to influence a Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission decision to benefit Natyf Inc., a TV channel that disperses multi-culti gobbledygook. 

It is a stark reminder of the lengths he would go to for personal gain. 

It was always clear that Fergus put his own personal interests over the ideals of good governance. Such conduct raises serious questions about the Speaker’s fitness to hold a position of such influence and power.

In the context of Prime Minister Trudeau’s affinity for China’s communist regime and his propensity for wielding extreme measures against his political opponents (2022 invocation of the Emergencies Act, anyone?), Fergus emerges as the perfect puppet to execute Trudeau’s ambitions of absolute power.

The Speaker’s role is not a mere formality; it is an office vested with supreme power – the power to silence MPs, set the daily agenda, and determine amendments to bills.

In the hands of a compromised individual, this power becomes a potent weapon. 

Fergus must resign.
