The only difference now is that all the innocent people at SNC will be held accountable for the actions of the few at the top.

That is what the former attorney general made damn sure of
Unfortunately you are right in that the little folk whose jobs are now in peril are the real losers in this mess. However, that can be laid at the feet of the little potato and his henchmen - and ONLY them. They were stupid enough to think they could get away with what they did and Wilson-Raybould simply held firm on the law.

Uh, spammie...........the entire Opposition which includes NDPs, and Lizzie May along with the Conservatives are out to get him. Okay?
It's a "witch Hunt!" The flying monkeys in the Liberal caucus have taken to the air!

I'll try to play devil's advocate here for a moment. Is it possible that in the Prime Minister's mind, he was not exerting that much pressure on Wilson-Raybould and that he did not remove her due to that affair, but that she interpreted his behaviour as pressure and read too much between the lines of certain statements to come to her beliefs? In other words, is it possible that both of their stories are true from each their perspectives?

While I think that's possible to a small degree (i.e. that maybe Wilson-Raybould's memory has hyperbolized things somewhat), I do think that that her statement is true for the most part. If anything, she seemed cautious about not accusing the PM of anything beyond stating facts of which she was certain, so if anything, her statement might even be underplaying somewhat the pressure put on her. Either way though, even if we suppose that her memory has hyperbolized things somewhat, the hard facts that she stated even if we ignore her interpretation of and beliefs about them are already enough to make the PM look bad. Even if we suppose that he wasn't aware of how much pressure she might feel from statements of his and such, it still raises questions about his ability to communicate his intentions clearly. How can you govern effectively without the ability to clearly communicate your intentions?

So even if we give the PM as much benefit of the doubt as possible in this (and I'm being very generous here), we can say at the very least that he's an extremely poor communicator, which certainly makes him less than leadership material for which clear communication is essential. Again, I'm being very generous towards him here.


I think pretty well every intelligent Canadian has realized for sometime, that Mr. Trudeau is NOT very bright and NOT very genuine and NOT very humble but I think the recent shenanigans have demonstrated thoroughly beyond ANY doubt that he IS in fact a thoroughly rotten bastard!

Strange I don't remember you crying over GM closing Oshawa?

What don't you get about her doing her job in a non-partisan way? She's not supposed to interfere just because the Airhead has a seat in Papineau, Qc.

Will people lose their jobs? Of course! You don't interfere in a bribery case because people will lose their jobs. SNC played a rough game and got caught. If a man gets behind the wheel of a car after drinking and kills somebody, government officials don't intervene to influence prosecutors because that drunk man has a wife and three children and an elderly mother who lives in a retirement home and his daughter, the youngest, has cerebral palsy, and they will all be adversely affected by his incarceration.

Horsesh!t. There is no justification for political interference.

You are talking like he was trying to influence a judge.

Which is par for the natty course.

Another one of you is sure that Trudeau was taking brides - because its a bribery scandal.

Yes trying to save thousands of jobs!
What a monster!

ANC Lavalin paid thirty thousand dollars worth of prostituted women for the Ghaddafi's son when he was in Canada around a decade ago. Jobs indeed.

There's no evidence presented yet that he took bribes of committed any criminal offence. However, just because something is legal doesn't make it right.

So did every other company trying to deal with the Libyans.

And yes, they are real jobs being lost by real people who had absolutely nothing to do with anything illegal.

You want jobs? Let's remove alcohol from Gov't jurisdiction and recruit bootleggers!

You want jobs. Let's legalize murder-for-hire. Who cares about rule of law, security, or anything else. We need jobs jobs jobs at all cost.

How far up Trudeau's ass is your head?
Far enough so you don't hear any argument, except what is in your own pre programmed Liberal mind

We< need to punish the innocent.

When a rich guy breaks the law lots and lots of poor people should be held responsible.

Let's be clear here. There are no jobs at risk. At worst the company would get a fine in the $200 000 range. SNC simply threatened to pull their head office out of Quebec if they didn't get to skate. SNC doesnt even have that many employees. Mostly they are engineering and projects management. All the heavy lifting is done by contractors like the ones I work for. BUt then we know all you leftards are in favor of corporate welfare. Especially if it is in Quebec.
