Rustad Defends His Push to Search MLAs’ Phones | The Tyee The effort to identify the source of leaks from the divided Conservative party failed.

"After learning of Rustad’s confirmation that phones had been searched, Johal mocked him:

'Hey John, next time you’re snooping through colleagues’ phones looking for messages to me, try checking under I.P. Freely, Al Coholic, Hugh Jass, Jacques Strapp, or Seymour Butz.'"

Dallas Brodie: I have a point of order to raise. I’m looking at section 40(2) and 40(3) of the standing orders. The first one is: “Disrespectful or offensive language forbidden.” That’s sub 2. “Irrelevance in debate.” That’s sub 3. Sub 2 says: “No member shall use offensive words against any member of this House.” The Premier has repeatedly referred to me as being racist, denialist and hateful. Am I now allowed to use words like “stupid,” “incompetent,” “financially illiterate” and “anarchist”? How far does this go? The second one is: “No member shall be irrelevant in debate.” He takes shots at me sideways whenever he can, and I’m not accepting it anymore. It’s unacceptable language in this House. I could call him lots of names — believe me — but I’m not taking this anymore. Raising questions about public expenditures of money in this province is not against the rules. Anybody who takes public money is open to questioning, and you shouldn’t be questioned about whether you’re racist. If you want no questions, don’t take public money. I would like a declaration from the Speaker about whether people can call each other names in this House anymore. Hon. David Eby: I feel like I should be paying the member rent for the amount of space I’m occupying in her head. Interjection. The Speaker: Shhh. Please. Hon. David Eby: In my answer, I was specifically referring to the staff member that was hired by the Leader of the Opposition who was fired recently for being a racist residential school denialist — properly fired, by the way. I congratulate him for taking that appropriate stand. A little late, but he did take it. I support it. You wouldn’t find me hiring people like that. If the member thought I was talking about her, perhaps that’s her issue.

I wonder how long he can keep this bit going. it's been 9 months and troops have been deployed to two American cities so far.

he's going to be saying the same thing 4 years from now when troops are in every "leftist" city guarding polling stations to prevent "antifa" from voting.

This reads far better in the original German, where of course the discussion would have been about Jews, Poles, gypsies, gays, Communists and Social Democrats. Still, Miller's model for all his rhetoric and action plans is unambiguous.
