You must have missed the part where Trudeau was being bribed because its a bribery scandal.

The white natty climate change deniers are bringing their collective wisdom to bear
Bribery isn't stealing, as far as I know. It is illegal, yes, but not stealing.

Women of principle are going to bring down this Liberal Party. Trudeau should have hired from the Old Boy's Club, where loyalty trumps morals and ethics.

So Trudeau is a crook?

What did he steal? Besides being a total screw up, as far as I know, he didn't steal anything. Why would someone born with a silver spoon in his mouth steal anything. The title of this thread is totally stupid, kinda like Justin.

A Thief is a Crook, but a Crook isn't necessarily a Thief. Have you looked up the definition of Crook?

the story is pretty straight forward.

the prime minster wanted to see a dpa in place and his AG refused to do so for whatever reason.

trudeau was imply doing what every white natty has demanded he do in regards to the pipeline.


Regarding the pipeline, what was asked of him was to uphold the law, as opposed to the opposite being demonstrated by the PMO's staff regarding SNC Lavolin....but what's 100,000 jobs in Alberta & 20,000 more in Saskatchewan compared to jobs in Quebec where someone might vote for Justin Trudeau?

He means 'White Nationalist Climate Change Deniers'. Hoid shortens that to 'White Natty's'.

He's like a robotic parrot with no off switch.

Maybe not the best choice of words, Cliffy. I chose it in the sense that it's appropriate to cover all forms of dishonesty. While he may not have stolen any concrete articles he may have stolen more nebulous things like faith and trust, while trying to peddle a stellar image of himself and possibly claiming credit for things at the cost of credit to others. In short I DON'T trust him. Two key cabinet members have already discredited him.

I would say that Philpott's resignation today was the point of no return for this government.


Ms Philpoot sent a clear and cogent message to her fellow cabinet ministers today when she stated that she had lost confidence in the government over it's handling of the SNC Lavalin affair. Anyone else with an ounce of integrity will follow in her footsteps. If they choose to stay then they will be remembered as little more than lapdogs of the liberal party who will sell their souls to stay the party line.

That said, I don't expect the usual suspects such as Bill and Sean to be the least bit swayed in their slavish devotion to their leader.

Here's what I said_ if she could not do what the prime minister wanted done then it would be normal for her to tell him - I can't do that , and step down from the position so that the Prime Minister could appoint someone who could do it.
Instead she decided to go with a different plan, whereby she damaged the government she was working for and made dam sure that every employee of SNC would suffer the damage for the transgression of the few.
All based on her opinion,.
Again, I find it hilarious that you're soooo concerned about a few thousands jobs at SNC-Lavalin but didn't care about the tens of thousands of jobs lost in the oil sector. Not to mention all the downstream jobs.
Nope, Groper is screwed so apparently you're trying to run damage control for him on here.

I guess maybe the next time some progtard leader gets in power they'll make sure they don't fill cabinet appointments based on quotas instead of knowledge, skill and ability. Because there's only two reasons Groper would make her the AG. 1) She was truly qualified, which means her opinion on the matter carries far more weight than your pathetic bleating. Or 2)Groper thought it would be just so groovy and progressive of himself to appoint her purely because she would not only be the first woman to hold that position, she would also be the first FN to as well.

So the question you need to ask yourself is, was she actually qualified to be the AG or did Groper simply give her the position because he thought it'd make himself look good to Canada and the world?


Of course none of this would have anything to do with the fact that Quebec's pension fund has a 20% stake in SNC-Lavalin. Nahhhh. That can't be it. They also do a LOT of work for the Saudis, which would certainly explain why we still get oil from them and why it's not subject to carbon taxation. Just think of the jobs that would be created if we quit buying foreign oil altogether. Make those comparatively few jobs at SNC look like chump change.

The clerk of the Privy Council should be run out of Ottawa on a rail.

We can't assume that someone interested in the SNC-L affair wouldn't be concerned about job losses in the oil industry. It's also true that some of the issues in both cases are quite complex and basically different.
As for the ex-AG's appointment, her competence and her ethnicity/gender are not conflicting qualifications. I see no basis for implying that she was chosen on the sole basis of any one set of criteria.

Where have you been hiding? His entire campaign was "Women and Natives".
That was an element of his campaign, and would obviously, and quite logically, reinforce the decision to appoint J. W-r.
