(WATCH above for Lilley’s visceral response.)

Newly released government documents show that 31 is the number of people it took to approve a tweet from Environment Minister Catherine McKenna that was in such bad taste it was quickly deleted.

On November 7, 2017 the official government Twitter account of McKenna put out a tweet that praised the Syrian regime of Bashar Al-Assad.

“Canada Salutes Nicaragua and Syria for joining on to the Paris Agreement!” the tweet read. It also included the flags of both countries.

Praising the murderous Assad regime in Syria which has used chemical weapons on its own people is beyond tone deaf. And yet 31 staff members on the political and bureaucratic side looked at this tweet and approved it.

Before the tweet was ridiculed for praising a brutal dictator for agreeing to meet climate targets, only two red flags were raised by bureaucrats and it had to do with grammar.
