Of course, ts.............in a Utopian world that would be true. There is not one political party in Canada that does not hold loyalty to be of prime importance. That is simply a fact.
Another good reason for recall legislation like BC has. We do need to change how our electorial system works.

‘This isn’t about a lack of loyalty’: Jane Philpott addresses expulsion from Liberal caucus

Jane Philpott is not going gently out of the Liberal caucus.

The former health minister and treasury board president issued a lengthy statement on Facebook Tuesday, the same day she was expelled from the Liberals alongside former attorney general Jody Wilson-Raybould amid the SNC-Lavalin affair.
In her statement, Philpott explained that she was expelled from the Liberal caucus without having been given any chance to speak to the national caucus.
"I was accused publicly by people in caucus of not being loyal, of trying to bring down the prime minister, of being politically motivated, and of being motivated by my friendship with Jody Wilson-Raybould," she wrote.
Such attacks were rooted in "inaccuracies and falsehoods," Philpott said, adding that she did "not initiate the crisis now facing the party or the prime minister. Nor did Jody Wilson-Raybould."
"Rather than acknowledge the obvious — that a range of individuals had inappropriately attempted to pressure the former attorney general in relation to a prosecutorial decision — and apologize for what occurred, a decision was made to attempt to deny the obvious — to attack Jody Wilson-Raybould's credibility and attempt to blame her."
That approach, Philpott said, "now appears to be focused on whether Jody Wilson-Raybould should have audiotaped the clerk instead of the circumstances that prompted Jody Wilson-Raybould to feel compelled to do so."
Philpott said she could not support the recommended response to the affair — which, she said, was to "deny these allegations."

Her constitutional obligations — "including cabinet solidarity and collective responsibility" — compelled her to resign from cabinet.
"On the contrary, I recommended that the government acknowledge what happened in order to move forward. This was an expression of loyalty, not disloyalty — in the same way that Jody Wilson-Raybould attempted to protect the prime minister from the obvious short-term and long-term consequences of attempts to interfere with prosecutorial independence — but to no avail."
This remark echoed Wilson-Raybould's own comments in a letter to the Liberal caucus, in which she said she was trying to "help protect the prime minister and the government from a horrible mess."
She also said the situation is not about political advantage or strategy, and that it's "frankly absurd" to suggest she would leave a senior position in government "for personal advancement or merely out of friendship with Jody Wilson-Raybould."
As a member of cabinet, Philpott said she would have been compelled to support the government's response to the SNC-Lavalin affair, in the media and in question period.
"I could not do this and as a result, I was compelled to resign," she said.
"I thought there should be scope within the caucus and the party for a range of views on the SNC-Lavalin case including the views I expressed directly to the prime minister.
Finally, Philpott said she ran for Parliament so she could improve people's lives, and that "nothing will stop me from continuing in that pursuit."...………..more in link

What a fiasco. It's hard to think of anyway this could have been handled worse. It's what you get with a PM immersed in a mix of narcissism, fantasy, extreme naivity; juvenile petulance; petty, disconnected ideology and; deep insecurity. Justin put himself in this spider's web of a feminist coven under the delusion that this would endear him to half the electorate and guarantee him a second term.

He failed to realize that feminism is not about equality and responsible government. It is about power. It is born of a profound resentment of the gift (and responsibilities) of the feminine genius and virtue and of envy of male privilege. Some kind of coup was inevitable. The goal was to set up Hecate Sisterhood in control of fawning, effeminate, pussy whipped PM. It's target was the male, Christian, white, colonial ethos that they deem to be at the core of the subjugation of women.. and all other designated victims.

Trudeau just came to the realization that he was being conned too late to save his government, which is now disintegrating into chaos.

Wilson-Raybould should not be allowed to remain in caucus.


She says she doesn't think she should be removed from caucus for doing her job. But that isn't really why she is facing expulsion. She is being removed because she has proven to be unworthy of her fellow MPs trust. That she has a personal and long established feud with the PM is more than obvious what she fails to take into consideration is the real harm she is doing to the government and her fellow colleagues. From a purely party point of view she is a loose canon and her disloyalty to it demands her removal.

This entire SNC Lavalin scandal has been blown out of proportion by the media, both sides in the HOC and those most directly involved in the affair who have for their own reasons prolonged any resolution. Come election time it will be relegated to the back pages where it should have been long ago were it not for the intransigence of it's two main protagonists.




LAVALIN BLOWN OUT OF PROPORTION??????????????????????????????????


HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


We are talking about a Cdn corporation that has ALREADY ADMITTED they put over $100 million dollars into ILLEGAL election financing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We are talking about a Cdn Corporation that BRIBED officials from province of Quebec for preferential treatment on govt contracts!!!!!!!!!!!


WE know this about Quebec provincial bribery because the Charbonneau Inquiry HEARD TESTIMONY that MULTIPLE engineering corporations were involved in the bid rigging bribery!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


But ONLY Lavalin was ever investigated or charged!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



We are talking about a Cdn corporation THAT MAY HAVE bribed federal officials in Canada for preferential treatment on Cdn govt contracts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


but as long as Our idiot Boy and his loser LIE-berals are determined NOT to haul Lavalin execs into a court room................


WE WILL NEVER KNOW or hear the full truth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


There is already reason to compare Our idiot Boy to a third world despot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


If the FULL STORY came out........................God knows what shameful facts MIGHT be revealed????????????????????????

SNC-Lavalin scandal embodies the failure of Justin Trudeau’s government

http://globalnews.ca/news/5118093/justin-trudeau-snc-lavalin-scandal/

A Deluge of Failure


From the LINK:

It’s clear from these remarks that both parties understand the implications of Wilson-Raybould’s refusal to do Trudeau’s bidding: that she may not be AG in the not-too-distant future. Which is likely why she taped this conversation in the first place, even though doing so may not have been ethical. She assumed that if she was ejected, the next AG would likely grant the DPA, and she wanted to have on record the fact that she had objected to it, as the country’s top legal authority.

Why would Wilson-Raybould think such an act might be imminent? It may indeed all come back to then-Treasury Board president Scott Brison. The phone call with Wernick took place just one week after Brison made known, on Dec. 12, that he was going to leave cabinet and not run again in the next federal election. This would necessitate a cabinet shuffle — and opened a door to the prime minister. In our Parliamentary system, he has the power to choose his cabinet based on whatever criteria he deems appropriate: experience, competence, regional balance, gender balance, the colour of someone’s shoes. Or, the propensity to do his bidding on a certain file.

The Irony of Trudeau turfing Wilson-Raybould & Philpott on "Ethical" grounds...

It comes down to a minister staking a claim to a ministry.

The ministry's do not belong to the minister.

Shoulda punted her long ago...............though I am really glad they didn't as the harm she's done to the liberal party is priceless.
Let's hope she takes up the tuberculous scam now she knows how international politics works.

Is the new AG going to allow the guilty plea to stop the exposure if how the World Bank really runs things and bribes are a normal part of business rather than SNC was a 'rouge agency'. The SNC segment starts at 9:45 and for once the past before 2015 is being looked at and the bridge deal that got then banned by the World Bank has to be mentioned at some point in the future and the Conservatives will be under the spot-light then. Not long before the election, hahaha

I guess that the new A.G. follows order better and SNC Lavalin is off the hook, anyway.
There is a lot of anger and most of it is directed at Trudeau, not the Liberal party. If the Liberals were smart they would oust him and get a new leader. I have seen a lot of PMs come and go, some were pretty good, some were pretty shady, but Never have I felt such loathing for anyone in Parliament as I do for Trudeau. In my opinion he is the most pathetic excuse for a human being that ever lived. He appears to live in a fantasy world with no connection whatsoever to real life, a little boy playing out his fantasies at our expense. Like his dress-up act in India, it's all fun and games to him, never mind that his actions mocked the Indians and embarrassed Canada. He has spent borrowed Billions to 'help' other countries and spent not a cent in Canada. Lie and deny is all he is capable of. He's GOT To GO!!!!!
