She said she did not think any of it crossed the line into illegality.


I'm not sure I agree, but I'm not a lawyer.


As for resigning, that would have been a surrender. She stayed to do her job as AG, which was to defend the independence of the judiciary. If she had left, the PM simply would have gotten his way by appointing a "yes" man to the post (such as the "Honourable" David Lametti), and you would have heard nothing about the subversion of Canadian constitutional principles under this gov't.


In this case, resigning would have been an abandonment of her duties.
Resigning would be an abandonment of her duties?

Gun nut needs to give his head a shake.

You do realize that it was Chretien-Martin that were PM from 2001-2006 right?
And the same sides that were infighting during those years are at it again . The Quebec machine usually comes out ahead and currently appear to be firmly in the drivers seat again . However Martin did briefly wrest power from the Cretienites but by that time the liberal brand was so tarnished he couldn’t accomplish much other then ignominious defeat . We shall see what comes down this time around .I am hoping for another ignominious defeat .

Isn't it great that the conservatives in Quebec are totally separate from the conservatives outside of Quebec?

Great for Canada, that's for sure

How sweet is it to have every white natty in the land suddenly hanging their every pathetic hope on an Indian woman?

On an "Indian" woman?


You are such a phucking moron you can't even keep up with the PC language policies of your own political philosophy (which appears to be a unique brand I would name Liberally Stupid).


Have yourself whipped.


And no, you're not allowed to enjoy it.

What better time to catch the company in the act, . . . Right? 2004 was when Harper became the party leader. That is what is being tried right now, catching the Liberals doing something wrong, would have worked better but the company was still useful to the World Bank before the destruction of Libya was underway.
You would think the lobby for immunity from being banned from bidding in Canada would have started sooner than 2015.

If you can't carry out the will of the government then you don't belong in cabinet.
If the will of the Liberal government is to allow SNC Lavelin to be let off after they kill people (preferably Conservatives) would you not see this as a way for the Liberals to get money?

This is what is sooooo idiotic and destructive in "progressive" philosophy.


Selfishness is a basic human trait, part of human nature.


Collectivism (radical socialism) refuses to recognize it as such. Therefore the most greedy and vicious rise to the top (Mao, Stalin, Maduro, Chavez, Pol Pot, etc.) and yet normal self interest has to be beaten out of the population at large.


I'm simplifying way too much, but essentially this is why all radically collectivist societies wind up like Venezuela.


Capitalism, on the other hand, is realistic about human nature, and build societies that work.

Spoken like a good little communist. In our democratic system MPs are elected to carry out the will of the people, not the party.If they are not prepared to put the people before the party they do not belong in cabinet.

The job of cabinet is to carry out the will of the government.

If you are unable to do that it is up to you to inform the government and step aside so that they can put someone else in that position who will carry out their plans.

This is how a parliamentary democracy is supposed to work.

Capitalism has never built anything.
