The impolite term for this is lying. Amazing to me how rapidly formerly honest individuals lose their abhorrence for liars after they are elected to office. They are literally surrounded by liars. Little lies or big lies politicians rapidly learn that the rules of civilized behaviour to not apply to them. Why should they when you can have it both ways? You can do whatever objectionable thing you want without consequences or condemnation simply by telling questioners, the public etc. what you know they want to hear. Of course it's best if you have a firm handle on where the facts and truth are located. Only idiots like Trump tell lies constantly which can be readily fact checked.
The latest whopper that our Federal government appears to have been caught on is their past claim that Canada has stopped sending weapons, ammunition and or military equipment to Israel for use in Gaza or otherwise. Well today's K-W Record has a group of both Israeli and Palestinian persons who gained access to Israeli import/export documents showing that Canada has been sending exactly those commodities to Israel on about a three or four times a year basis. Now that is brazen by our own government telling us clearly what most Canadians want to hear namely that Canada is not providing military assistance and equipment for use the last couple of years in Gaza.
Here I am still shocked by our municipal, regional and provincial government lying to local citizens telling them what a wonderful job they are doing in cleaning up our drinking aquifers and our Creek ("Gig"). Not much mention of course of the always leaking former Uniroyal Chemical site which Dr. Gail Krantzberg (McMaster Univ.) several years back advised CPAC would eventually dilute, leak and migrate all their contaminants off site.
Sandy I advise you to shut your mouth accusing me of seeing conspiracies locally. Politics is dirty and disgusting and essentially is exactly that: a conspiracy for the few to fool the many.
