So Trudeau is a crook?

As far as I'm concerned, the Prime Minister doesn't deserve to have his name mentioned. From now on, I'll call him Prime Minister What's his Name or just the Prime Minister, or maybe even Prime Minister Who?

Raybould could have been loyal to her own Party and her own Prime Minister. But instead she chose to be a self-aggrandizing feminist martyr.

Trudeau wanted gender fairness in positions of power and that's what he has gotten...Climate Barbie and Everybody Loves Raybould. He should have stuck with hiring from the old boy's club, where loyalty supersedes status climbing.


NO! She just tried to do her job the way it's meant to be done. Gender fairness is good, capability fairness is much better and doesn't detract from gender fairness one iota.

Rare quality in a lefty.

Rare for the right too. Very few Conservatives ever voted against Harper. Scott Reid comes to mind due to his more libertarian leanings with regards to certain security bills; but for the most part, all parties tend to have a cult that follows the leader unfortunately.

Just the start. I hope it continues right up into election time and evenQuebec votes against the left.


His goose is cooked! The only way he could stage even a partial come back is to make an official apology to Jody and a separate apology to the entire electorate and admit he's been a complete buffoon since his first day in office. He's very limited in the amount of damage he can remove. He's a showboat and they don't change.

When I first started with a new company years ago, I was overpaid a substantial amount of overtime on my paycheque. I wasn't comfortable about it and I brought it up with my Supervisor. She told me to forget about it...that it never happened.

I could have gone over her head and reported her for fraud within the company, but i didn't. That was the way my Boss wanted the situation handled, so I played ball with her.

I was loyal to my Superior instead of acting like a self-aggrandizing martyr and getting her in trouble.

The more Trudeau's caucus supports and defends him the more they become suspect of being weak leaders lacking integrity and they will continue the job he's already started in bringing down the entire organization.

Raybould is a self-aggrandizing snowflake. It's all about her and her crusade for the truth...which apparently just oozes from her native blood. I wish the same could be said for her loyalty.

(And I'm not even a fan of Trudeau.)

There's one more opinion for what it's worth. On top of all Justin's other faults, it's now been confirmed he is a LIAR. The rest of the Liberal bozos should shut up while they are behind. Putting jobs ahead of personal integrity is a SURE sign of not being fit for public office. What kind of a person would approve of a job steeped in corruption?

That's the way business gets done with these Tin Pot nations. You gotta grease the wheel.

So what is the worst that could happen if Lavalin gets disbanded? Other companies would take over their contracts? Would it actually change the net number of those employed?

I'll give the PM the benefit of the doubt on a few things. First, I'll start off by presuming that Wilson-Raybould is telling the whole truth and nothing but the truth, and that's the impression I'm getting so far. If anything, I even got the impression that she was holding her punches (i.e. not accusing him of anything she was unsure of).

Based on that presumption, aside from his desire to save his seat in his riding and influencing the Quebec election (which are appalling in themselves), he may sincerely have been concerned about preserving working-class jobs in Quebec and might never have taken bribes from anyone. But even assuming that, she still decribed his behaviour as appalling.

There are no crooks in Ottawa, or DC, or London or Paris or etc. Perhaps a sign at the city limits would eliminate any confusion on the subject.

Civil Law or Admiralty Law

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Admiralty_law
Admiralty law or maritime law is a body of law that governs nautical issues and private maritime disputes. Admiralty law consists of both domestic law on maritime activities, and private international law governing the relationships between private parties operating or using ocean-going ships. While each legal jurisdiction usually has its own legislation governing maritime matters, the international nature of the topic and the need for uniformity has, since 1900, led to considerable international maritime law developments, including numerous multilateral treaties.[a]
Admiralty law may be distinguished from the Law of the Sea, which is a body of public international law dealing with navigational rights, mineral rights, jurisdiction over coastal waters, and the maritime relationships between nations. The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea has been adopted by 167 countrieshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Admiralty_law#cite_note-3 and the European Union, and disputes are resolved at the ITLOS tribunal in Hamburg.
