Ever been to Montreal?
Jewish bankers with all the Kosher deli fixins' as far as the eye can see.
You'd love it there.

I was in SK once but it was dark and raining and I was a bit drunk at the time. Did any of 'them' work at SNC or were those poor people all scammed like the rest of the employees.

Why Quebec sees SNC-Lavalin as an asset, not a liability
Chorus of defenders doesn't want current employees punished for past misdeeds
In Ottawa, there appears to be little sympathy these days for SNC-Lavalin, the giant engineering corporation facing prosecution for bribery schemes in Libya.
The company was hoping to strike a deal with federal prosecutors in order to avoid a trial. If guilty, it would be cut off from lucrative Canadian government contracts for a decade.
But since it was alleged last week that the Prime Minister's Office had pressured then attorney general Jody Wilson-Raybould to allow SNC-Lavalin to sidestep prosecution, few federal politicians have been willing to stick their necks out for the company.
In Quebec, however, where it has operated for more than 100 years, SNC-Lavalin has a chorus of defenders that include the premier, the Opposition and pundits.
With varying degrees of equanimity, they're concerned a guilty verdict could imperil the corporation when it is already struggling with difficult market conditions.
"For us, to see a settlement would have been the preferred option," Quebec's economy minister, Pierre Fitzgibbon, said Tuesday.
"SNC-Lavalin is a company we would like to keep healthy."
Last week, Premier François Legault acknowledged he had spoken with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and pushed for a speedy resolution to SNC-Lavalin's legal woes.

For Legault, taking the corporation to court for its past actions — the Libyan bribes were allegedly paid between 2001 and 2011 — would punish current employees who had nothing to do with any crimes.
"You have to make sure executives who did illegal things are prosecuted, and that the company pays a significant fine," Legault said Tuesday.
"But I don't think we should penalize the thousands of employees who work for SNC-Lavalin."
A jewel of Quebec Inc.
There are both economic and emotional reasons for the partiality that SNC-Lavalin enjoys in Quebec.
Only 3,400 of its 50,000 employees worldwide work in the province. But Quebec's pension fund manager — the Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec — has a sizable stake in the company.
It owns around 20 per cent of SNC's shares, which have been trading at six-year lows since federal prosecutors announced in October they weren't interested in deferring prosecution.
SNC-Lavalin has, moreover, worked on some of the most iconic infrastructure projects in the province, including the James Bay hydroelectric dams and Montreal's Olympic Stadium and Mercier Bridge.
(in part)
There you go, it is an investment that would be worth pennies if any prosecutions were put forward. Who in Quebec cared if they crooked or not.
BTW the old CEO is safely in a Swiss prison, just try to get him out of the country to even testify even thought he was the star witness for the World Bank in their 2011-2013 investigation.
If the Jews hands are clean how did they not turn them in in the 15 years they were bribing people in Libya?? You are a known liar so I have the right to ask you to supply a link to some facts that supports your various opinions.
Thanks in advance as I know how much sticking to the rules means to you.

- On June 5, 1832, the legislature of Lower Canada enacted the Act to Grant Equal Rights and Privileges to Persons of the Jewish Religion, supported by Louis-Joseph Papineau, leader of the Patriotes party in the Assembly, and Speaker of the House. Quebec thus became the first place in the entire British Empire to grant equal rights to Jews.
- Judge Alan B. Gold was the first Jew to be named Chief Justice of the Court of Quebec in 1970, and the first Jew to be named Chief Justice of the Superior Court of Quebec in 1983.
- In 1970, Dr. Victor Goldbloom was named Minister of State responsible for Quality of Environment and then in 1973 Minister of Municipal Affairs and Minister of Environment, the first Jewish member of Cabinet in Quebec.
- In 2008, the Quebec National Assembly was the only jurisdiction in Canada to pass a unanimous resolution congratulating Israel on its 60th anniversary, affirming Quebec’s commitment to Israel’s legitimacy and its security needs while calling for a two state solution.
- In 2008, the Quebec government also ratified the Quebec-Israel Economic and Technological Cooperation Agreement, which renewed and expanded previously signed agreements in 2007 and 1997.
- The Jewish community has established and supports many institutions that benefit all Quebecers, including the Sir Mortimer B. Davis Jewish General Hospital where over 70% of the patients are, in fact, not Jewish.
- The Jewish community has also contributed to the economic, cultural and academic success of Montreal, whether with iconic businesses such as Seagram’s, Brown’s and Aldo, with major developers like David Azrieli and Marcel Adams, or by its support for the Montreal Symphony Orchestra, the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, McGill University and l’Université de Montréal.

Engaging in unethical behavior to block access to evidence in an investigation into his unethical behavior is easy. His moral standard has already been discarded, the line has already been crossed. What's a bit more corruption to try and mitigate the damage?
Justin Trudeau is supposed to be the Prime Minister of Canada, and not just the Prime Minister of Quebec. Thankfully the election coming in about two months is a national election and not just Quebec deciding who the next Prime Minister should be. 75% of the population of Canada is not in Quebec ( though more than 50% of all equalization payments do end up there but that’s a different story).
This isn't about the food, it is about how people in the east are feeding on the people in the West (and the rest of Canadians) while getting support from the same people who say they are out to stop white collar crime. At what point should somebody be getting fired for being incompetent?
'Only 3,400 of its 50,000 employees worldwide work in the province. But Quebec's pension fund manager — the Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec — has a sizable stake in the company.

How much is Canada willing to spend to keep 3,400 people employed in a company that is blacklisted by the World Bank. How much of the profits went to the 46,600 employees that worked in different countries? How many of them are now working for companies that are not blacklisted by the World Bank?
So was Harper and he was the boss for 10 years and he didn't clue in even though the RCMP were kept informed about SNC being blacklisted by the World Bank from 2011. Nobody has properly explained how JT was able to pull that one off, let alone for a decade before he even entered politics.
I dare you to open that one up, all it would show is that is where most of the crooks live. The ones that always get away with the look if that part if going to confuse you. Think MagnaCartaII.
I thought his spending $4.5 billion on a pipeline for Alberta was a far more egregious abuse of power
You dare me to open that up? OK. How many times was Stephen Harper cited for violating ethics issues by the ethics commissioner again? I’m going to have to go do a Google search to verify my answer before I give it though just in case....
..... and it seems the answer is zero. Only Justin, twice so far in less than four years versus Harper’s 10 years and nothing. It’s not up to Harper or Trudeau to charge somebody or something with a crime, but that is up to law-enforcement. It wasn’t up to Harper or Trudeau to decide who gets prosecuted and who doesn’t. That is somebody else’s job well outside of the scope of politics or so the theory goes. If It took the RCMP a decade to charge SNC Lavalin, that doesn’t fall on either Harper or Trudeau. Prosecutorial interference by the PMO Would definitely fall on the sitting Prime Minister. Is that open enough???
You do know he was about to be run out of Ottawa on a rail Right??

Harper, Serial Abuser of Power: The Evidence Compiled
The Tyee’s full, updated list of 70 Harper government assaults on democracy and the law.
Stephen Harper and his Conservatives have racked up dozens of serious abuses of power since forming government in 2006. From scams to smears, monkey-wrenching opponents to intimidating public servants like an Orwellian gorilla, some offences are criminal, others just offend human decency.
Last week we published 59 examples in two parts, and asked our readers to suggest any we may have missed. Among the many suggestions we gratefully received, we concluded that 11 more meet the criteria for “abuses of power.” Today we compile all 70 items into one omnibus of abuse by the Stephen Harper government.
This list is now also available as a tablet-friendly pdf which you can download for free here. Thanks, once more, to friends of The Tyee who helped with this list.
SECTION I. ABUSING PARLIAMENT: SABOTAGE, SCANDALS, CORRUPTION AND CONTEMPT
This section includes examples of willful misgoverning by the PM and his team, 31 times they have lied, flouted rules and stymied democracy to achieve political and ideological ends.
PMO Tied to Senate Hush Money Scandal
An RCMP affidavit reported widespread involvement by PMO staffers in a secret payment to Senator Mike Duffy to try and make a political problem go away. The Senate expenses scandal brought on allegations of a cover-up, a breach of the public trust, and a whitewashing of a Senate report. The PMO was found to have hand in the altering of a damning Deloitte audit.
Harper Found in Contempt of Parliament
For refusing to disclose information on the costing of programs to Parliament, which Parliament was entitled to receive, the Harper government became the first in Canadian history to be found in contempt of Parliament.
Against Court Order, Refusal to Share Budget Info
Even though it lost a court case and was ordered to comply, the Harper government nevertheless refused to share 170 times reasons and impacts for cuts with Canada’s independent budget watchdog, mocking Parliament’s right to control the public purse.
Conservative Cabinet Staffers Granted Immunity from Testimony
A PMO edict absolved political staffers from ever having to testify before parliamentary committees.
Conservatives Falsify Reports and Documents
Among documents deliberately altered in the writing or the quoting by the government: CIDA document by Bev Oda’s office on Kairos; the Senate Committee Report on the Duffy affair; a report by former auditor general Sheila Fraser on financial management.
Repeated Duplicity in Afghan Detainees Controversy
Among the abuses: Parliament was misled and denied documents. An inquiry was shut down. Tories attempted to discredit diplomat Richard Colvin whose testimony diverted from the government’s line.
Repeated Duplicity on Costing of F-35 Fighter Jets
An auditor general’s report revealed serial deceptive practices used by the Conservatives in misleading the public and Parliament on the projected cost of the fighter jets.
Harper Minister Lies, Blames Statistics Canada for Killing Long Form Census
Under fire for Conservatives killing the long form census, Industry Minister Tony Clement falsely stated that StatsCan backed the idea and assured the voluntary substitute would yield valid statistical data. Neither was true, outraged StatsCan sources confirmed.
Conservative MP Admits He Lied to Parliament
As opposition members claimed the Harper government was out to rig election rules in its favour, Conservative MP Brad Butt rose in the House of Commons to say why the bill was needed -- all the voter fraud he had personally witnessed. Weeks later he rose again to say his statements were false. Delivering his strained apology, he failed to explain why he lied in the first place.
Conservative House Leader Admits to Mockery of Question Period
Criticized far and wide for farcical answers in question period, Paul Calandra, parliamentary secretary to Harper, made a tearful apology for abuse of the democratic process.
Harper Maligns the Supreme Court Chief Justice
The Prime Minister took the unprecedented step of alleging inappropriate conduct by Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin. Facts undermined the credibility of the PM’s position.
Conservatives Engage in Abuse of Process with Omnibus Bills
Harper’s party pushed legislation through Parliament via omnibus bills, the scale of which Parliament had never seen. Such bills are widely condemned as an abuse of the democratic process, because they blend and bury so many controversial laws within one dense package. Harper himself once railed against them, and his born again love for them made his own MPs queasy. Referencing such bills, former auditor general Sheila Fraser said that “Parliament has become so undermined that it is almost unable to do the job that people expect of it.”
Harperites Deliberately Sabotage, Stymie Committee System
Conservatives used tactics such as barring witnesses, closure, time limitations, and in camera sessions to an extent rarely, if ever, witnessed in Canada. In their early days in power, top Conservatives prepared a handbook instructing committee chairpersons how to obstruct proceedings.
Harper’s Own MPs Protest Muzzling
In a caucus known for his tight discipline, in 2014 some members finally rose up to contest being censored at question period by the Prime Minister’s Office. Former Conservative backbencher Brent Rathgeber turned independent and published a book, Irresponsible Government, decrying anti-democratic practices.
Conservative Bill Rewrites History to Protect Mounties from Potential Criminal Charges
To protect the RCMP, the government retroactively made an old bill come into force before it was passed by Parliament.
Harper Minister Caught in Advertising Scam with Public Funds
The Globe and Mail revealed that Harper’s chosen Minister for Democratic Reform Pierre Poilievre commissioned a team of public servants for overtime work on a Sunday to film him glad-handing constituents. The vanity video on the taxpayer dime was to promote the government’s benefits for families.
Corrupt Conservative Cronies
The Senate scandal is just the latest eruption of crony corruption in Harperite ranks. Take Bruce Carson. He was a convicted fraudster before Harper made him a key advisor in the PMO. There, Carson was lobbied for money for a new University of Calgary eco-think tank. He then left the PMO to run the same think tank, converting it to an oil industry booster with a $15-million grant from the Harper government. The complex saga added one more criminal charge to others Carson faces for allegedly illegally working his connections with the Harper government.
Access to Information System Impeded
Many new roadblocks have been put up by the Harper Conservatives. Former Information Commissioner Robert Marleau concluded that having obtained absolute power, the prime minister “has absolutely abused that power to the maximum.”
The Silencing of the Public Service
The PMO took an unprecedented step in instituting a system wherein the bureaucracy has all its communications vetted by the political nerve centre. The policy contribution role of the public service is significantly reduced. Complaints from insiders allege that the Privy Council office has become increasingly politicized.
Loyalty Oaths Imposed on Public Servants
Archivists and librarians were made to swear strict oaths of allegiance and were hit with restrictions on freedom of speech that editorialists of the right and left described as chilling.
Harper Government Sued by Justice Department Whistleblower
Time and again the Harper government proposes bills that end up being shot down by the courts, prompting critics to say such legislation is more about making political statements than lasting policy. The wasted efforts bothered senior justice department lawyer Edgar Schmidt so much he finally sued the government for breaking the law by inadequately evaluating whether proposed bills violate the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. He was promptly suspended without pay.
Conservatives Block Accreditation for Opposition MPs
In another example of partisanship taken to new heights, the PMO blocked opposition members from being accredited for international environment conferences and from visiting military bases.
Tactic Borrowed from North Korea’s Dear Leader
Ostensibly neutral public servants were used as stooges, falsely posing as new citizens in a staged Citizenship Renewal public relations exercise by the Immigration Department. Media critics had a field day comparing the charade to practices undertaken by North Korean dictators.
Clampdown on Freedom of Speech of Diplomatic Corps
Ottawa’s diplomats must get all communications approved from Conservative political operatives. Under Harper, the country’s ambassadors are hardly heard from any more. In a recent speech, former United Nations ambassador Stephen Lewis said our political culture under the Conservatives has descended into “a nadir of indignity.”
Aquatic Science Libraries Decimated
The Harper government’s downsizing of federal libraries included sudden closing of seven world famous Department of Fisheries and Oceans archives. A leaked memo revealed the destruction and consolidation would save less than half a million dollars. Scientist patrons of the libraries, who witnessed chaotic chucking of rare literature, called it a “book burning” with no logical purpose other than to restrict environmental information. The Harper government claimed vital works would be digitally preserved, but never provided a plan or cost for doing so, nor any proof it had happened. No scientists interviewed by The Tyee believed digitizing would or could replace what was lost.
UN Blasts Canada’s Treatment of Immigrants
Changes made to the Canada’s immigration and refugee system under Harper were investigated by the United Nations Human Rights Committee, whose report blasted how thousands of migrants are detained indefinitely without due process, many for over a year or more, as well as poor mental health support for those incarcerated.
Harper Government Denies Khadr Basic Rights
Defying court rulings, the Conservative government refused to accord Omar Khadr basic rights such as access to media. Editorialists of right and left persuasion described the move as unbefitting a democratic government.
Illegitimate Prorogation of Parliament, Twice
Prorogations are a legitimate procedure that can be abused depending on motivations. The Harper government provoked 60 protests across Canada and beyond its borders in 2010 after shutting the legislature’s doors to escape condemnation on the Afghan detainees’ file. It was the second prorogation in a year’s period.
Undue Interference with Independent Agencies
Command and control system was extended to meddling in bodies like National Energy Board and CRTC whose arms-length autonomy is significantly reduced. A special target was the Parliamentary Budget Office, which was hit with condemnations and budget cuts for its critical reports.
Billions Borrowed without Parliament’s Permission
The auditor general sounded alarms about the “prodigious” growth and size of federal borrowing. Those billions in “non-budgetary” spending used to get Parliament’s oversight, but no more. The finance minister can borrow what he wants without Parliament’s permission. Why? A loophole buried in a 2007 Harper omnibus bill.
Lapdogs Appointed as Watchdogs
The most controversial was the case of former Integrity Commissioner Christiane Ouimet. Her office reviewed more than 200 whistleblowing cases. Disciplinary action followed on none of them. Ouimet’s own angry staffers blew the whistle on their boss. The auditor general found Ouimet intimidated her employees, took “retaliatory action” against them and may have breached their privacy, all part of the Harper appointee’s “gross mismanagement.” Ouimet was paid more than $500,000 to leave her post.
SECTION II: ‘HARPER BRAND’ ABUSES: LIES, SPIES, AND THIS PORK SMELLS REALLY BAD
This election began the minute the last one ended. Since his first day as PM, Stephen Harper has reinforced his party’s ‘brand’ by rewarding cronies, slapping the Conservative logo on government cheques, perfecting the no questions photo-op, instructing bureaucrats to start calling Canada’s government “the Harper Government.” The flip side has been relentless monitoring, muzzling and attacks on anyone who might tarnish the image. Here are 22 instances of power abused to build the Harper brand.
PMO Attempts to Cover up Video Leak Putting Troops at Risk
On an Iraq visit, the PMO was caught lying to try and cover up the leak of a promo video, which constituted a security breach. The PMO, noted a National Post editorial, “stumbled from blunder to evasion and falsehood in the service of shamelessly manipulative partisanship, especially in using our troops as PR props.”
The ‘Harper Government’ Labelling Deception
Public servants were told to use “Harper Government” instead of “Government of Canada” in publicity releases. The Conservatives denied it was happening -- until internal memos revealed by the Canadian Press revealed the denial to be without basis.
Conservatives Place Party Logos on Government of Canada Cheques
Once “caught red-handed,” they backed off. The federal ethics commissioner, adopting the exasperated tone of an adult lecturing a child, noted: “Public spending announcements are government activities, not partisan political activities, and it is not appropriate to brand them with partisan or personal identifiers.”
Record Amounts of Partisan Political Advertising, on the Public Purse
Several media reports told how the Conservatives used taxpayer money for partisan political advertising in record quantity, costing the public treasury $750 million since Harper became PM. In one instance, the Tories spent lavishly on ads for the promotion of a jobs grant program that had yet to be made public or presented to parliament or the provinces. Even more nakedly partisan, a mailed blast, charged to the taxpayers, targeting Justin Trudeau.
Conservatives Stack Their Own Ridings with Infrastructure Funds
In a display of brazen pork barreling, the Conservatives arranged for no less than 83 percent of infrastructure fund projects go to Conservative ridings.
$50 Million Spending Deception as Documented by the Auditor General
The auditor general ruled Conservatives diverted $50-million from spending slated for border infrastructure to political spending on projects in Tony Clement’s riding at the time of the G-8 summit. Parliament was willfully misled.
Patronage Run Amok
After promising a new way, the prime minister dismantled his newly created Public Appointments Commission and reverted to old-styled patronage by the barrel. In June 2015, the PM made 98 patronage appointments. That included stocking the National Capital Commission with loyalists in advance of decisions on the controversial monument to the victims of communism.
(in part, shall I continue?)
Continue all you'd like. Fill your boots! Was he charged with violating parliament or by the ethic's commissioner on issues like Trudeau has twice so far?
You know I'm about to become a male model right? I'm about to win the Lotto Max. I'm right on the edge of that 'cure for cancer'...but until it happens, it's just so much speculation until it happens and becomes real.
Unlike anybody on the Con side has ever been.
Got it.
Bye now.
Government Hospitals, go, . . .
Horseshit. The Conservatives were going to have SNC prosecuted. Use your goddam head for once. Why the hell do you think Team Groper was pushing JWR so hard to give SNC the exemption? Why not just claim it was Conservative legislation instead of having the theatrics of Butts pretending to throw himself on the grenade he insisted didn't exist? Why keep it a secret? Why hide it from possible debate by slipping it into an omnibus bill?
But then again, the idiot whom I quoted thinks the Holocaust is a hoax because even though 6 million Jews were systematically murdered by the nazis, they weren't all gassed to death ergo the Holocaust never happened.
When, they had 4 years where they were already in the news for the same crime?
Start with several links that back up that opinion.
Oh no my good sir. That's is NOT opinion, it is fact. Tell ya what though, since YOU made the original claim, feel free to post those links. And uh, do try to stay away from posting a link to some weird f*cking Jewish conspiracy site, or PressTV, or Pravda. You know, the usual trash holes you hang around in.
What criminal charge laid in Canada has ever insisted a guilty plea be rejected and a full blown trial be the only solution that is suitable to the one person with temporary authority? One whose experience is hours old rather than decades or years. The only change the addition made is about the company being able to bid on contracts in Canada. With no outside contacts they were not going to be biding on any contracts at all and they should be sold off, in 2013 rather than just starting to be investigated in 2015.
Fire a brand new AG and take the heat for it or take the case to trial and put the World Bank in the news every night for a decade or so?
The confession was to be a secret, being guilty and fined would be a record the courts would have. Who would be named as the defendant?
Simply put, the World bank told him how much they dislike the idea of a trial, let alone a public one is a hick country like Canada.
You come in where the red line starts to climb in about 1880. Some links will do that supports the numbers indicated as the EU was in a depression all that time. Feel free to start a thread with your factual reply.
