Should lying in the House of Commons be punished? (lemmy.ca)

As our government becomes more and more polarized, what can we do to ensure that facts and data hold out?

I'm not suggesting that lying should be illegal (in fact, it's often unintentional), but when an MPs statement can later be proven to be false, shouldn't they be forced to publicly apologize?

The truth shouldn't be political.

We need more independent journalism that's not driven by some large media company with a bias.

That’s why Canada provides funding to private journalism, but then big company comes and buys them out
