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.
If the original top came from 'the Swiss' what makes you think that wasn't the equal to 'a pink slip'. The destruction of Libya began so no contracts would even be coming up and there are bigger EU companies that would the the General Contractors for any project funded by the IMF. The company was thrown under the bus to the point they could not operate inside the country. It would seem that mist would be part if the 'Admin' rather than the 'Workers' so why would they remain working??
Their contracts are all time based, after the construction is over most people lose their jobs. The rising costs have nothing to do with new construction it even royalty increases as it is all 'admin' related costs when that part is being streamlined rather than bottlenecks are happening. The money goes to the parent company and they are in the EU.



'Groper' seems to have Nannies that would not complain, perhaps that is how Weinstien/B. Clinton got their start, a gateway drug if you will.



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.

1) She was just right, she should have taken a guilty plea and let the Judges deliver a big fine. She would have been blamed fir tanking the Company so the French would have hated her. She has no idea how business is done in other countries where the Government is openly the slaves to the IMF backed businesses.
2) JT gave her good advice, allow the charges to be filed and then allow a guilty plea and the Courts would apply a large fine. end if story.

She was insisting that the 'Salesman' spill his guts' in open court about how he hired 30 hookers fir a week at a time for a party where Western Business men would be there looking to score a contract and the 'main man' came in fir about 10 minutes and then left and the party carries on. That about sum it up??
The Bill that was passed was a work in progress when JT win so it started under the Conservatives that covered crimes 'under their watch'. Guilty is not the issue, what is the issue is the company entering a guilty plea to save what would be exposed in a trial. The Company was going down anyway, this just made it faster and as expensive as possible for Canadians at the same time.



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?
Perhaps she had delusions of the move making her career as the 'Westerner' who took on 'crooked Quebec' and won. Kite in a hurricane is more like it.


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.
Like I said, the investigation was not something Canada started on it's own so we are really stupid and don't know what is going on or we know and spend our time covering it up, such as the Bill that allowed a guilty plea and keep the ability to bid.

Bid all you want, you wont be winning any contracts. If you are dissolved so much the better.
Saudi oil is a whole different matter.

Hoid said:
"With a dpa in place only the people who broke the law get punished."
Is this true, or accurate, in the legal context?
Also:
"It (dpa) is used extensively in Canada and everywhere else on earth."
Is this partly true? It's obviously not accurate :).
Anybody know what's meant by 'natties'?
His favourite description of people who hold differing opinions . It is his way of dehumanizing and attempting to humiliate his opponents. He uses natty as short for white nationalist climate change denier.

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

He's like a robotic parrot with no off switch.
Man.......you nailed that one!

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.
The first gender balanced cabinet was his talking point for a long while .

Both Trudeau and Trump are proof that politicians are narcissists!

Just look at our electoral system. A person has to believe in himself enough to run, politick, and believe in his superiority over all of the others.

In short, our system favours the rise of narcissists. The only way I could see us eliminating this problem would be to eliminate political parties, eliminate politicking, and present voters with a blank ballot, let them vote for whom they believe is the best candidate, and whoever wins the local plurality becomes the local MP unless that person declines for good reason. This would make the job of an MP comparable to jury duty. I could suport such a system myself and it probably would push highly competent and deserving technocrats to the top, but I think most Canadians like the intrigue of partisan politics led by narcissists. Heck, our whole system is designed around that.

I wanted to heckle the rat.
Trudeau cancels Regina trip to head into private meetings amid SNC-Lavalin affair.
A scheduled visit by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to Regina has been cancelled.
Eleanore Catenaro, a spokeswoman for Trudeau, confirmed to The Canadian Press this morning that the prime minister is going to return to Ottawa for private meetings, amid escalating controversy over the SNC-Lavalin affair.
Trudeau was scheduled to appear at a Canadian Tire store to speak about climate incentive rebates.
He was also to deliver remarks at a Liberal Party of Canada fundraiser this evening.
His cancellation comes one day after Treasury Board president Jane Philpott resigned from cabinet amidst accusations of political interference in the SNC-Lavalin affair.
It also comes one day before Gerald Butts, Trudeau’s former principal secretary and right-hand man, is set to testify on the controversy before the House of Commons justice committee along with Privy Council Clerk Michael Wernick and Nathalie Drouin, deputy attorney general.
On Monday night, Trudeau would not take questions from reporters on the stunning resignation of Philpott.

This is the World Bank rather than JT or the company involved. There will be a 'lot of move along' associated with this story.

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.


Are you for real? SNC LAVALIN along with the Trudeau government created this D.P. model, and like a the crooks they are, stuck it into an omnibus bill hoping no one would notice. You should have some more of that RED KOOLAID, it'll take the sting off your obvious hypocrisy. Why should the attorney general resign for defending the law and adhering to a code of ethics? Your answer is to step aside gracefully so that the demented child king can appoint another pawn?



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,.


Well, I have to say that I am glad she exposed the Trudeau Liberals for the liars and crooks they are. She decided to do the right thing, which by they way isn't always the easy thing, she should be commended for it. Jane Philpott should also be commended for stepping out of the rank and file and standing up for what is right.



Screw Trudeau and his bullsh!t excuses. He shouldn't have demoted her. He shouldn't have gagged her. He shouldn't have put her in that bloody position in the first place. He also shouldn't have gotten mixed up with a corrupt company like SNC Lavalin and then succumb to their wish to have the law changed to meet their needs.


The Prime Minister should resign.
Michael Wernick, Clerk of the Privy Council should resign.
Gerald Butts already resigned.
Attorney General of Canada David Lametti should resign.


and that's for a start.

I would suggest Butts and Wernick should face prosecution, the others might have an out on parliamentary status .

A few basic observations:
- It would not be 'normal' for an AG to resign in the face of illegal pressure by anyone, PM included; not if they had courage & personal integrity.
- Nothing about this case can be described as normal except from a very cynical standpoint.
- SNC Lavalin did not create the 'D.P. process' although they doubtless lobbied for it.
- MPs do not work for the government. They are elected to work for the people.

That's all very touching - but the people who are going to get screwed are the people who work for the corporation.

That's what its all about.

That is what Trudeau was trying his best to avoid

Nope. Trudeau was looking after his friends and his political fortune. That’s why he’s done jack for the patch. He’s got no friends there and no chance of political support. He gives a shit about the workers

Butts will fall on his sword tomorrow say it was all him to protect Dreamboat...then in a year or two he'll get a cushy diplomat appointment to some goofy country.

I commit murder. If I'm convicted, that affects my family, friends, and the local business community since I'm a consumer too. So, out of compassion for my family, friends, and local businesses who hire workers, should you just agree to waive my prosecution in exchange for community service because it might hurt the people around me otherwise?
