Peepee is a joke, I know.
Prime Minister PeePee to the peons & peasants:
The latest allegation of political interference in a criminal investigation — this time the RCMP’s investigation into Canada’s worst mass shooting in Nova Scotia two years ago — is nothing new for the Trudeau government.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the Prime Minister’s Office broke the federal Conflict of Interest Act in 2018 by pressuring then attorney-general Jody Wilson-Raybould to drop fraud and corruption charges against SNC-Lavalin, a powerful Quebec company, in favour of a deferred prosecution agreement.
Trudeau was also accused of political interference in the breach of trust trial of now-retired Vice-Admiral Mark Norman, by speculating about the case even before any charge was laid.
The case against Norman was eventually stayed, meaning the Crown had no reasonable prospect of a conviction.
The latest allegation, emerging from the Mass Casualty Commission probing Canada’s worst mass shooting in which 22 people died, is that the PMO and then public safety minister Bill Blair pressured RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki to release the type of firearms used by murderer Gabriel Wortman.
This to bolster the Liberal government’s political campaign to introduce new gun control laws.

According to notes taken at the time by Nova Scotia RCMP Supt. Darren Campbell, Lucki became angry when he told her the type of weapons could not be released at that time, “because to do so would jeopardize ongoing efforts to advance the U.S. side of the case as well as the Canadian components of the investigation.”
He said Lucki told him and other RCMP officers, “she had promised the Minister of Public Safety and the Prime Minister’s Office that the RCMP would release this information.”
Lia Scanlan, the civilian director of communications for the RCMP in Nova Scotia at the time, told the inquiry Lucki was publicly commenting on issues such as the number of people murdered, “that we (didn’t) even have. She went out and did that. It was all political pressure. That is 100% Minister Blair and the Prime Minister. And we have a Commissioner that does not push back.”
Lucki, Blair and Trudeau have denied interfering with the RCMP investigation.
Trudeau said the government has questions about how the RCMP responded to the mass shooting but he remains confident in Lucki as commissioner.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has finally spoken about allegations that he interfered in the investigation of the Nova Scotia massacre in 2020 for political reasons. His choice of words should set off alarm bells for Canadians who don’t believe politicians should use cops, or tragedies, to advance their political agenda.
In evidence released this week by the Mass Casualty Commission, the public inquiry looking into the massacre that took place over April 18-19, 2020, allegations were made more than once of political interference. Handwritten notes from one of the leads in the investigation said that RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki had demanded information be released that officers said would compromise the investigation.
There was influence exerted, there was pressure applied by Trudeau or someone in his office for the Commissioner to push for the release of information, it’s just that Trudeau doesn’t think it was in any way inappropriate. It was just the right amount of pressure and influence and after all, it was for a good reason, meaning something he wanted to do.
This is the same way he spoke about the pressure he put on Jody Wilson-Raybould, his former attorney-general. Trudeau met with Wilson-Raybould and his staff held several meetings with her to try and convince her to change her mind in a criminal prosecution.
When she wouldn’t do what he wanted, he shuffled her out of that cabinet spot. He effectively fired her for refusing to interfere in a criminal matter.
When caught, Trudeau first called the story false and then declared that he didn’t use any “undue” influence over Wilson-Raybould. Eventually, he said he acted — meaning interfered in a criminal case — to save jobs so the ends justified the means.
Now, he’s saying he didn’t unduly pressure the RCMP Commissioner to release information. When we see further evidence that he or his staff actually did this, Trudeau will say that it was all for the greater good of making Canadians safer with his gun bans. The rest at the above Link….
