When she was made AG why did she not resign as Minister of Justice as that is not independent from 'the Government'??
Trudeau 'welcomes' ethics probe of alleged PMO interference in SNC-Lavalin case
- Thread starter Danbones
- Start date
Here's an analysis of the conflicting testimonies (re: the concept of open & transparent governance):
Regina Ron; Thanks for the link to that interview with Andrew Coyne:
His analysis summarises my own thoughts on this matter far better than I could do it myself. I especially support his comments, which I've not seen elsewhere, to the effect that if the government wants to support workers whose jobs are threatened, it can and should do it directly without interfering in a prosecutorial process.
I'm not a lawyer or an internet lawyer, & I'm assuming that you're not either, but this person is law professor:
The law professor above has the same questions as you, and about SNC Lavolin's access to the PMO & the Privy Council.
Congratulations Cliffy for proving YET AGAIN that Harper is the most LIED about politician in Cdn history!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And you have also proved the old addege that the quickest way to anger a Conservative is to lie about him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
While the quickest way to anger a LIE-beral is to tell the truth about him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And Cliffy - your concepts of democracy and freedom would fit right in with the Nazi party!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A while back some idiot LIE-beral - angry that HARPER HAD FROZEN HIS WAGES- suggested we should “storm the castle” so to speak and DEMAND our rights! By which the civil service union Hog meant force govt to hand out MORE GRAVY!!!!!!!!!
I responded with this: Sorry guy-you FAIL- Cdns are much too clever to think a general strike will solve anything.....after all- WHO would we be striking against? The ONLY MONEY govt has is OUR MONEY!!!! And the only HONEST ANSWER is we would be striking against ourselves!!!!!!!
The Hog wants us to get all militant and `storm the castle`? Why do that? We OWN the castle so no need to storm it. Both Harper and Our idiot Boy got elected prime minister with each getting roughly 36-38 percent of the total votes! That is enough to make a majority prime minister BUT IT IS NOT EVEN CLOSE to a majority of Cdns! After all, over 55 percent of Cdns are so disgusted by all politicians or so apathetic about achieving any positive result that they REFUSE to vote!!!!!!!!!!!
Many years ago some smart guy put out his own election sign which read: “don’t vote, it just encourages them”!!!! Which is pretty funny at first glance.........but if you think about it- it becomes obviously REALLY STUPID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Telling a politician “that I don’t care what you do and I wont vote” signals to them they can do as they please with NO REPERCUSSIONS! Which is the WHOLE POINT of the LIE-beral Lavalin mess!! LIE-berals doing what they want and to hell wih the laws!!!!!!!!!!!
LIE-berals want to do as suits THEM and let Lavalin off the hook for election financing fraud- just excuse them with a wave of a legal wand- quick and cheap and easy -with NO consequences!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Frankly- if we could mobilize that 55 percent of population that does not vote then it’s simply a matter of deciding who we feel like letting in!! And last summer WE decided those McWynnty Lie-berals had stayed there WAY too long! And it looks very much like a large number of Cdns have grown disgusted with the Sunny Ways of Our idiot Boy as well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But the Sunny Ways are on the national stage! SELFISH LUNATICS like Cliffy wants to advocate civil disobedience on a LOCAL scale in defiance of the opinions and welfare of the majority!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The fact is that virtually ALL Cdns use fossil fuel! It is an inescapable fact of modern life! There is natural gas to heat your home and business! Diesel fuel for the trucks that stock your local market with strawberries from Guatemala and farmed Salmon from Chile and Lettuce from California!!!!
And then there are the ships that bring you shoes from China and shirts from Bangladesh and cars from Korea and Japan!
And INSANE LIE-berals want to make us fossil fuel free.........and somehow AVOID DESTROYING our economy in the process! And oddly- some of the MOST STAUNCH defenders of LIE-beral policy are the civil service union Hogs who use so much more fuel than the average Cdn!!!!!
Yes- consider who is riding around on the skidoos and atv`s? And who owns a good many of the cottages and recreational homes? And who is most likely to fly off to a sunny beach in Jnauary? And these civil service union Hogs are staunch supporters of LIE-beral carbon crap and tax trade SCAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why??????????????
For the GRAVY! Hogs expect to be paid so well they will be IMMUNE to the economic ravages of ripping fossil fuel out of our lives! LIE-berals and Hogs are engaged in a GROSS conflict of interest with Hogs selling their votes to LIE-berals in exchange for that gravy that will IMMUNIZE HOGS from the consequences of their biased voting habits!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AS for native rabble rousers like Cliffy- he does not give a sh+t what suffering white tax payers endure! He is not interested in justice- Cliffy is all about greed!!!
Cliffy INSISTS that a MINORITY of natives should be allowed to BULLY the rest of the country! Cliffy wants civil disobedience because HE IS A SORE LOSER! Cliffy has the small child`s understanding of democracy- he thinks freedom means he gets his own way and can do as he pleases!!!!!
Cdns are not blind! They know oil is dirty stuff!!!!!!!!!!!!
But freezing in the hungry darkness aint much fun either!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One of these days people like Cliffy are either going to have to see the light......OR GO TO JAIL in order to learn respect for the majority! For Cliffy to compare himself to Ghandi as a HUGE INSULT.......TO GHANDI!!!!!!!!!!!
Ghandi had a legitimate gripe about being treated as second class in his own country! Cliffy just wants to screw up the society that feeds and clothes and houses so many of his people because Cliffy thinks the charity being offered by whites to his people is INADEQUATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cliffy is arrogant enough to think he is ENTITLED to demand a life that is paid for by ordinary people so he can live BETTER than the average!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cliffy holds values and views so selfish and so poisoned that he thinks it is dishonest for people like Harper to make ANY EFFORT to defend themselves from an IMMENSE AVALANCHE of LIE-beral SLEAZE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If the likes of Cliffy ever got control of govt there would be VIOLENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PMO denies Trudeau yelled at Whitby Liberal MP Celina Caesar-Chavannes over choice not to run again

OTTAWA — A spokesman for the prime minister’s office says Justin Trudeau had “emotional” conversations with Liberal MP Celina Caesar-Chavannes, but denies her claims the encounters were “hostile” or that Trudeau yelled at her.
Caesar-Chavannes told the Globe and Mail in an interview Trudeau was angry when she told him on Feb. 12 of her plans to announce she was not reoffering in the October federal election.
She alleges he yelled at her in that conversation and that she responded by shouting back at him, and says the prime minister later apologized.
LILLEY: Liberal MP Celina Caesar-Chavannes’ cryptic message
Caesar-Chavannes also detailed another encounter with Trudeau in the House of Commons a week later in which she describes him as acting hostile toward her.
Caesar-Chavannes first raised questions about her interactions with the prime minister in a tweet she published earlier this week following Trudeau’s press conference on the ongoing SNC-Lavalin controversy.

Trudeau told reporters he felt there had been an erosion of trust between himself and former attorney general Jody Wilson-Raybould, which was something he regretted because a central tenet of his leadership is fostering an environment in which MPs and staff feel comfortable coming to him when they have concerns.
“I did come to you recently. Twice. Remember your reactions?” Caesar-Chavannes wrote in her tweet.
Caesar-Chavannes told the Globe and Mail he yelled at her in the Feb. 12 telephone conversation, telling her she didn’t appreciate him for all he had given her. The Whitby MP served as Trudeau’s parliamentary secretary from December 2015 to January 2017, when she stepped down from the post voluntarily.
The second encounter happened a week later after a caucus meeting. She approached Trudeau and says she tried to broach the topic of their previous testy conversation, but was met with a hostile “stare down.” He came to apologize to her quietly on the floor of the House of Commons later, and she left visibly upset — an episode witnessed by several MPs in the chamber that day.
An official with the PMO speaking on background told The Canadian Press Saturday that Trudeau makes a regular effort to meet with his MPs as often as possible, and that often these discussions are candid. The official conceded that Caesar-Chavannes’ perception of the encounters may have been different, but added they have never heard Trudeau yell or raise his voice to anyone.
In a statement sent to multiple media outlets, Matt Pascuzzo, a spokesman for the prime minister’s office, denied Trudeau was hostile toward Caesar-Chavannes, adding that he has “deep respect” for her.
“There’s no question the conversations in February were emotional, but there was absolutely no hostility,” Pascuzzo said.
“As the prime minister said (Thursday), he is committed to fostering an environment where ministers, caucus and staff feel comfortable approaching him when they have concerns or disagreements. That happened here.”
Speaking at a teachers’ conference in Ottawa on Saturday, Trudeau was asked to respond to concerns about whether “recent events” involving several women in his caucus call into question his dedication to promoting women’s rights.
Trudeau said he has faced a tough number of weeks involving members of his team who have experienced “some real differences of perspective and opinion.”
“I regret that it has happened this way and it’s certainly something that we’re learning a lot about,” he said.
“I’m rethinking some of the processes of how we support cabinet and caucus members, how we function as an office. I’m getting outside advice that because internal disagreements like this need to be dealt with in a better way.”
He also said he hopes these events will not distract or detract from the work his government has been doing.
When asked whether he is concerned the SNC-Lavalin controversy could hurt his re-election chances, Trudeau pointed to concerns about the rise of divisive politics in other countries: the “toxic populism” in the United States, the yellow-vest protesters in France and the “total mess” of Brexit in the U.K., which he said was caused by an “impulse of populism and a knee-jerk reaction against institutions and in favour of cynicism and negativity.”
He warned against Canadians embracing the politics of wedge issues, characterizing his government as a “thoughtful, progressive, positive government that believes in the rule of law.”
The Trudeau government has spent weeks defending against allegations his office leaned on former attorney general Jody Wilson-Raybould to help SNC-Lavalin avoid prosecution on charges of offering bribes to do business with Libya.
Wilson-Raybould resigned from cabinet last month, saying she experienced inappropriate political pressure and veiled threats. Jane Philpott also resigned as Treasury Board president, citing a loss in confidence in the government’s handling of the SNC-Lavalin file.

Damn, the dirty laundry from both parties into the public view before an election?? How UN-American.

Indeed, like all psychological disorders, bipolar disorder is a complex condition with multiple contributing factors, including: Genetic: Bipolar disorder tends to run in families, so researchers believe there is a genetic predisposition for the disorder.Jan 23, 2019

Unfortunate, but 'Yes' is the correct answer.
PS Putin is not Jewish, the Netherlands and friends would be as close as it comes to finding 'real' Jewish Royals such as the ones in Russia that were recently exterminated just because of that.
See a pattern yet?
To Spaminators article JT blames the world for his political problems Lol
CNN turns on the Shiny pony
Trudeau's SNC Lavalin scandal is exactly what his fans don't want
AG David Lametti could be SNC-Lavalin's last hope to avoid prosecution
Does anyone have any doubt that Lametti won't try to get this done for Trudeau?
